The movie is Framed. The star is Joe Don Baker. Do I have to say any more? (Well, yeah, I did also write a full-length review of the movie that I hope you’ll read, but you know what I mean.)

Sadly, Framed was Phil Karlson’s last film before he died. He had a pretty interesting career, without ever being a ‘name’ director; particularly the almost-documentary true crime thrillers he established his reputation with. And of course, he also directed the TV version of Alexander The Great starring The Shat.
Keith, you’re in for a treat with Sakura Killers: clumsy white guy ninjas wearing REALLY COLOURFUL robes, my favourite! I get an extra kick out of that film because “Sakura” is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of medical and scientific equipment. Who knew they organised ninja death squads on the side?

Lyz: how else are they supposed to get a competitive advantage over Schott-Duran and Fisher?

Up here, it’s also the name of a steak house chain. So apparently they send out their brightly-hued gaijinjas armed with high-tech surgical instruments, and conceal the evidence of their assassinations by turning the victims into teppanyaki.

On the other hand, they are the world’s leading manufacturers of surgical throwing-stars. Those babies make for one hell of a splenectomy.
Professor — as I recall, Schott-Duran’s ninjas wear pastels; though to be fair, I may be confusing them with another hyphenated “Duran”. Fisher’s are plaid.

Mr. Braineater, you have just been the cause of me laughing a mouthful of hot chocolate all over my keyboard. Suddenly, millions of horrible puns are filling my mind, which, for humanitarian reasons, I will keep to myself
El Santo:
“conceal the evidence of their assassinations by turning the victims into teppanyaki”
now that is definitely a movie I’d pay to see…
