Best scene in Ninja Squad: Gordon`s showdown with Ivan
Gordon readies himself to fight Ivan, or I might`ve actually taken this screenshot from earlier in the film. I don`t think it really matters, because no matter what order you put the ninja scenes in, they`d probably make all the same amount of sense
Ivan confronts Gordon at Falcon Ridge... Or Devil`s Valley. I can`t remember.
Ivan shows us how silly his hair is. Gordon probably feels awkward that his opponent has a comb-back.
In this scene we see that Gordon doesn`t have a moustache. I mean, really, what`s the point in the film anymore? Gordon without a moustache is like the internet without porn; it defines his very existence!
The fight quickly begins with Ivan and Gordon throwing their swords at each other, knocking each other`s out of the air, and then catching it back in their sheath. Then they do it again but they backflip instead.
After some more jumping about and stuff, Gordon kicks Ivan`s sword from his hand and all seems lost for the nefarious no-gooder..
Think Ivan`s lost? Think again.
Ivan actually backflips to avoid Gordon`s sword, despite the fact that we can clearly see it`s going to go over his head. I suppose that`s what being a ninja is all about. Note that this is actually one of the more sensible ninja fights from the Gordon films I`ve seen.
But Ivan`s not done in just yet...! Now he is, though.
Ivan pulls a third sword from out of somewhere. Presumably from the same place Joseph Lai pulled out the script for this film: His arse. While stabbing Ivan, Gordon twitches an eye in a manner I`ve not yet been able to successfully imitate in front of a mirror. Unfortunately it seems I`m never to achieve the rank of "Most Flamboyantly Dressed Ninja."
Having vanquished his maleficent foe, Gordon backflips and disappears... Bugger knows where to, though, as he seems to live where he fought Ivan.
I`m sorry that this play-by-play wasn`t very good, but I was trying to stop a nosebleed purely with the power of my love for Maggie Cheung, and I had a song running through my head, and I was upset about Liveflayers in Star Ocean 2, and myriad of other poor and nonsensical excuses. Who cares, no one will read this anyway, so I suppose I can say whatever I like...

... Well, count yourself lucky that I can`t think of anything
