Akira Saito, a Japanese businessman lives in Tokyo with his Japanese-American wife Aiko and their children, Takeshi and Tomoya. When the family has a chance to move to the United States so that Aiko can teach the children about their American heritage, they pack up and head for Houston, Texas and run a restaurant. This is where the trouble begins. A band of crooked cops store stolen goods in the back room of the restaurant and, unknown to the Saito family, a priceless necklace (the Van Atta necklace) is wanted by a local syndicate. When one of the dirty cops decide to take the necklace for himself, the syndicate goes after the previous owner of the restaurant, then after the Saitos. When one of the boys is kidnapped by top thug Limehouse, Akira quietly rescues him. However, when Aiko and Tomoya are run down by Limehouse in an effort to get the necklace, Akira has had enough. For years, Akira has kept a dark secret. Akira finally decides to unleash his dark side.

| CinapseEd Travis[Sho] Kosugi's Akira Saito is a successful business man, husband and father, who also happens to be a secret modern day ninja. It's marvelous. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe story is trite, but the action scenes are impressive. |
| User ReviewJustin BThis is the wrong movie art! Change it now! |
| User ReviewBill B"When they kidnapped his son, he rescued him and went to the police. When they ran over his wife and son, he gave them a warning. When they killed his wife, he made them...Pray for Death." That's not a tagline for the movie, but it should have been. Pray for Death is by far the best ninja movie I have ever seen, and I've seen a few. It's kind of slow in some parts, but the ninja fights are so incredible, I just had to give it 5 stars. The incredible Sho Kosugi plays (what else?) a ninja who goes up against a crime lord that constantly torments his family. The whole film plays like a Bond film, and even the opening credits sequence is a knock-off of Bond! And if you've seen a Bond film, you know you're in for over-the-top action and adventure. There's also a great scene where a little kid beaks out some ninja moves on some mobsters and manages to floor eight of them! Now that's impressive. |
| User ReviewAllan COne of the Movies i recall from childhood. |
| User ReviewKen DI simply loved this flick...in the 80's it was all about the Ninja. |
| User ReviewPrivate UWhat another person said: It seems easy to forget that in the early days of Home Video, Sho Kosugi was very much a celebrity, making Ninja-themed movies like this. The plot is a revenge story, but the idea of Kosugi as a ninja who has hidden away his identity as such brings the film to a super-hero level as we have this man who is, along with his family harassed here in the Good Old U.S.A. because they bought a shop in an old building where some theives had hidden their loot. The action sequences are fascinating, a few interesting ninja techniques are shown and the fighting is fast and furious. Kosugi does not have the acting range, it seems, to handle heavier dramas, but he is ideally suited to the unique 80s genre of "Ninja Flick". Highly recommended. Not recommended to those fed a steady diet of computer generated "special effects" and cannot remember a time when athletic ability was required to nake a martial arts movie. |
| User ReviewJean-Paul FTämä taideteos viihdytti neljän tähden arvosta. Suosittelen katsottavaksi mahdollisimman pitkän valvomisjakson jälkeen ja isolla porukalla. |
| User ReviewSteve MI barely remember any of this flick, except for Sho Kosugi leaping over a moving pickup truck. My childhood was defined by ninja movies, and Sho Kosugi was the shit, bishes... |
| User ReviewRoy Bgood ninja movie had a lot of messed up scenes. cheesey music |
