The complete reissue of the classic 60s series continues!

In the 1960s, an 18th century samurai named Shintaro appeared on Australian television screens. With TV in Australia barely ten years old, THE SAMURAI became a surprise hit - thousands of Australian kids tuned in each weekday afternoon at 3:30 to catch Shintaro and his ninja friend Tonbei battle rivals.. Samurai mania swept the nation with children crafting their own weaponry and wreaking havoc in playgrounds and backyards across the nation, while a visit from the show's star Koichi Ose resulted in thousands of fans flocking to greet the Samurai at airports across the country! For many years the complete 128 episodes have remained commercially elusive, but Siren Visual is proud to announce that THE SAMURAI: NINJA TERROR returns to Australia in 2010!

In Japan, 300 years ago, there were two secret societies of people who called themselves ninja. One group was called Iga the other Koga.  They were professional spies and assassins, experts in acrobatics, swordsmanship, judo, karate and hypnotism. The secret scroll of the ninja had three basic rules:

To train your body to endure any hardship.

To forget all your friends and family and keep your real identity secret.

To accept death rather than divulge any of the secret s of the society of ninja.

SEASON SEVEN: NINJA TERROR

The new Lord of Wakayama is in serious danger following the death of the Lord of Kii. Shintaro is sent to the region to investigate the political unrest, but he faces the highly skilled Negoro clan on his way. Poisoned tea, spell-casting and a plot to assassinate a young shogun are all part of NINJA TERROR  and even poor Tombei faces uncertain danger.

Originally aired in Australia in 1965, NINJA TERROR is unique in that Shusaku does not appear!
