Realistic ninjaa???

[circa02]

Does anyone know of any realistic ninja movie, like the Shinobi no mono series? The next question is, are any of them available on netflix?

3 Ninjas.

......Nope, none that I can think of! If the ninjas are wearing black ninja garb or are using special straight 'Ninja Swords', then it is not going to be accurate.

I am afraid that we may not have any accurate descriptions of the ninja.

I was thinking earlier today that perhaps the James Bond movies, especially the older ones, are romanticized ninja homages with updated weapons and gadgets.

Think about it--he sneak into his enemies lair in some sort of disguise (often wearing a tux to blend into the big social gatherings evil genuises always throw when plotting), while incognito he tries to learn about their plans and scheme (sometimes by talking directly to them or their cohorts), sabotages his enemies plans, and escapes, killing only when needed.

Granted it may be a strech, but it made me laugh this morning.

You know, bearich, you make a good point! Espionage, I believe, was an important aspect of the ninja.
