Ninja III: The Domination is a 1984 American martial arts action horror film directed by Sam Firstenberg,[1] and stars Sho Kosugi, Lucinda Dickey, Jordan Bennett, and James Hong. It is the third film in Cannon Films' Ninja Trilogy anthology series, the first being Enter the Ninja, and the second being Revenge of the Ninja. Like the previous films in the series, it has also garnered a cult following.

Plot

Christie (Dickey), a telephone linewoman and aerobics instructor[1], is possessed by the evil spirit of a fallen ninja when coming to his aid. The spirit uses her body to carry out his revenge on the police officers who killed him. One of them is Billy (Bennett), who catches Christie's eye yet cannot explain her preoccupation with Japanese culture nor help her with her sudden blackouts. Out of options, they turn to a Japanese exorcist (Hong), who manages to summon the ninja within her. The exorcist reveals he cannot force the spirit out of Christie, but that "only a ninja can destroy a ninja". Christie and Billy are forced to seek the aid of Yamada (Kosugi), a ninja hunting the assassin within her for killing his people. The three force the ninja out in a dangerous gambit that results in the spirit repossessing his own dead body and fighting Yamada to the true end, finally freeing all three of the curse of the ninja.
