Re-Enter the 'New York Ninja'

In 1984, a martial arts movie star named John is targeted by a deadly ninja clan. He must use his skills to protect his family and fight back against the assassins. The film was famously unfinished and rediscovered decades later, with new footage shot to complete the story.
