New York Ninja (2021) Directed By: John Liu, Kurtis Spieler Starring (The Voices of): Don Wilson, Michael Berryman, Linnea Quigley, some other kung fu fuckers New York Ninja is a movie that was originally shot in 1984, but for whatever reason was lost... Until 2021, that is. Vinegar Syndrome found this movie, and hired an editor to painstakingly go through 8-9 hours of film to cut together a cohesive (kinda) story and hired voice actors to play the parts, since the original film lacked sound. IMDB describes the movie as: "Originally shot in 1984 and not finished until 2021, New York Ninja is about a sound technician for a news station (John Liu) who becomes a vigilante ninja in New York City after his pregnant wife is murdered."

John Liu, New York State senator (D 11, Queens), chair of the NYC Education Committee, shares his reaction to the news that Mayor Adams has been indicted.

We're back from an extended break to give you a real treat. New York Ninja (2021) has everything. A ninja. A roller skating ninja. A radioactive serial killer. Cynthia Rothrock (as a voice). And helicopters. In 1984, John Liu had a dream: to make a movie about a New York ninja. He shot 6-8 hours of footage, but his distribution company went bankrupt so the entire movie was scrapped. Cut to 2020. The new hotshot b-movie home video distributor Vinegar Syndrome unearths these reels with no script, storyboard, or audio track. They get to work basically reimagining the entire plot and restoring the footage. What we have here is a reimagining of what would have been an 80s film, cut, dubbed, and scored in the 2020s. John Liu (John Liu) is a non-ninja New Yorker whose pregnant wife is killed by one of the many roving violence gangs of 1980s New York. In his grief, he becomes a New York Ninja and starts throwing smoke bombs and shurikens at the gangs. It turns out the gangs (but not all of the gangs, some just like to go around smashing cars and murdering orphans) are behind a wide-sweeping human trafficking operation, led by the Plutonium Killer, a former CIA agent with radioactive powers, and hypnotism powers, and shapeshifting powers. He puts young women under a spell and then murders them, which seems like it would cut into his human trafficking bottom line, but I guess we all need hobbies. New York Ninja flips around the city beating up street punks and having guns pulled on him numerous times. Can he save the day and defeat the baddies? Assuming John Liu shot that footage before pulling the plug, the answer is yes.

Cooper and Nolan are back for another season and trying not to blow it when they cover the winner of this year's audience poll - NINJA IN THE CLAWS OF THE CIA! In this seldom-seen early 80s disasterpiece, legendary martial artist John Liu takes on not one but TWO starring roles in a movie that he also wrote and directed, which according to the guys is about 3 jobs too many.  And as if being hilariously overdubbed, frantically edited, and featuring random scenes that are entirely in Spanish wasn't ridiculous enough, there's also a subplot where the main character has to avoid seduction that launches this movie into truly unbelievable territory.  So don't try to hold out any longer; this very special SEASON PREMIERE episode (featuring a beer from Muskoka Brewery) is loaded up and ready to burst!

John Hammond has picked some classics in the past, and this week is no exception. And when we say classics, we mean movies that fit into the category of 'so bad they're good'. Originally shot in 1984, New York Ninja was never released after the distribution company went bust. But Vinegar Syndrome picked up the film, which had no audio or script to it, restored it digitally and added some serious B-Movie voice talent! Originally directed, written and starring John Liu, this one was "Re-Directed" by Kurtis M. Spieler and has the voices of Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Michael Berryman, Cynthia Rothrock, Linnea Quigley, Vince Murdocco, Matt Mitler, Leon Isaac Kennedy, and Ginger Lynn Allen.

THIS WEEK: Gone With The Pope (2010), Grizzly II: Revenge (2020), and New York Ninja (2021)We have plenty of stories of dusty 35mm film reels rescued from obscurity and finally given the reverence and restoration they deserve. It's far rarer when a film that was never completed is rescued and reconstructed. This week, we're looking at three unique approaches to film reconstruction. From Bob Murawski's slick editing and commitment to director Duke Mitchell's vision, to a three-decade-long journey ultimately resulting in a head-spinning horror sequel, and even a full "re-directing" and re-dubbed version of an unreleased John Liu oddity.

雖然「做環保人人有責」這句口號每個人都琅琅上口，但這一集，台大教授、同時深度鑽研氣候變遷和減碳政策的劉仲恩教授告訴我們，永續光從個人出發是不夠的，我們必須意識到這是一場全社會的轉型。聽起來好像遙不可及，但劉教授以社會學的角度，帶我們深入淺出地了解這場事關全球的「減碳比賽」。CAREhER 從去年開始密切關注永續議題，透過各領域的專家帶領，我們也發現許多轉變，最終都需要由終端消費者帶動，藉以影響企業和國家政策。而我們也相信，身為企業領導者、主管和領域佼佼者的妳，有更大的影響力來推動企業轉型！ 【 在這集聽她和他說 】環境問題不是科技問題，而是社會議題商業模式的典範轉移：ESG 核心化氣候變遷：以前的「環保人士議題」到現在的「政治籌碼」永續由企業自行發起的新治理模式減碳比賽，在減什麼？當好人 ≠ 做環保，避免道德式勒索才能達到真正的永續企業轉型增強競爭力的機會：「循環經濟」【閱讀這集】https://careher.net/ep96-ntu-johnliu-sustainability/ 【成為 CAREhER 會員】https://linktr.ee/clubcareher 【贊助支持 CAREhER】https://pay.firstory.me/user/careher 喜歡 CAREhER 精心製作的原生內容嗎 ? 留言讓我們知道妳的想法：https://open.firstory.me/story/cl3th46jc06hg01090pr6dum2?m=comment Powered by Firstory Hosting

Interview: Jason sits down with Brad Henderson and director Kurtis Spieler to chat about one of the most unique film projects in film history. In 1984 Director and martial artist John Liu set out to make his ultimate ninja movie. The project was abandoned during production resulting in all original sound materials, scripts, and treatments going missing. Kurtis Spieler painstakingly reconstructed and completed the film for Vinegar Syndrome. Spieler cast genre movie superstars Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Michael Berryman, and Cynthia Rothrock as the leads and enlisted Voyag3r to create an era-perfect original score.  Brad and Kurtis take you behind the scenes of Vinegar Syndrome, genre movie preservation, the New York Ninja construction process, and so much more!

Hosted by Atossa Soltani, Founder and Executive Director of Amazon Watch, among the most effective groups in the world conserving the Amazon and its peoples. Learn about the struggles to preserve some of the last large-scale vibrant ecosystems on Earth, crucial to the diversity of life on our planet, the climate and to our own species' survival. Kris Tompkins describes the remarkable work she and her husband Doug Tompkins, Co-Founder of Esprit, are doing as conservation philanthropists and practitioners to create national parks that protect and restore wildlands and biodiversity, inspire care for the natural world, and generate healthy economic opportunities for communities in Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. John Liu shows how understanding the true value of ecological functions including hydrological cycles, climate regulation and soil fertility reveals an astonishing cost-benefit ratio that points to both the ecological and economic imperative of large-scale ecological restoration worldwide, such as he has demonstrated in China and Rwanda. Marina Silva will describe what can and must be done to protect the forests and peoples of the Amazon while alleviating poverty. With: Kris Tompkins, conservationist, former CEO of Patagonia, who since 1993 has worked with her husband Doug Tompkins to create large wilderness conservation areas in Chile and Argentina; John D. Liu, international filmmaker, conservationist and ecological restorationist; Marina Silva, Brazilian environmental leader.

Just like our bodies, nature has a profound capacity for healing and self-repair. Filmmaker-turned-ecological-restorer John Liu shifted from documenting China's massive environmental and societal upheavals to filming a groundbreaking, large-scale ecosystem restoration cum local economic renewal. Prioritizing nature's ecological functions above producing goods and services, the groundbreaking work is spreading to other nations, with Liu as a global ambassador of dramatic ecosystem restoration wonders.

Last week we participated in a panel discussion during the Regenerative Communities Summit where we talked about how Crisis can be a Catalyst for Transformation.  This episode features a recording of the second half of that event. We've decided to omit the presentations that were delivered by each panelist, so there are a few times when you'll hear references to what was presented earlier. If you would like to watch the entire event, you can access the recording by registering for the summit at TransitionUS.org. The speakers in this episode have been addressing the challenges, crises, and disasters we're currently facing while finding new and innovative ways to not only respond but to open new opportunities and to use the times we are living in as a way to build better, more resilient communities. Featured Speakers: Jul Bystrova, co-founder of the Inner Resilience Network and Director of the Eomega/Era of Care project John Liu, catalyzed the creation of The Ecosystem Restoration Camps movement which has grown to nearly 50 camps in 6 continents Elaine Miller-Karas, Co-Founder and Director of Innovation of the Trauma Resource Institute and author of the book, “Building Resilience to Trauma: the Trauma and Community Resiliency Models” (2015). Bob Stilger, founder of NewStories and author of the book, “AfterNow: When We Cannot See the Future, Where Do We Begin?” Episode credits: Host and executive producer: Tom Llewellyn Series producer: Robert Raymond Theme Music: “Meet you on the other side” by Cultivate Beats The Response from Shareable.net, is a documentary film, book, and podcast series exploring how communities are building collective resilience in the wake of disasters.
