Reception
In 2011, UGO Networks featured the film on their list of 25 Hot Ninja Girls, calling it "just an excuse for hot women to do martial arts".[2] Filmdienst described it as a ”a cheap, completely trashy action comedy in which scantily clad women wield samurai swords”.[3] In his review of the film, Christopher Armstead wrote, ”despite the ripe fertile ground for campy fun it held was ultimately a fairly large disappointment”.[4]
