Here’s some information about the film:
Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan (April 14, 2024) – A seven-year passion project has finally been completed. Our goofy parody comedy “Killer Kabbage” had its final render and has been submitted to several film festivals to begin its journey through the circuit. What began as a short film back in 2011 has had a rebirth into a feature-length film running a whopping 94 minutes! This was a collaboration of creative minds with a dedication to deliver an entertaining and funny adventure for the audience to experience.
With Hollywood rehashing and rebooting, it’s very rare when something original seeps through the cracks of the corporate industry. Although, wouldn’t this be considered a reboot of the existing short film from 13 years ago even though nobody watched it? Oh crap, we’ve already been sucked into the Hollywood reboot whirlpool!
Voyag3r completed a badass score that helped drive this picture from the dreaded post-production phase right into completion. I’ve always told my peers, music can either make or break a movie. And it’s their excellent music that definitely helps make this movie.
Animastor Studios, location in India, used their wonderful CGI talents to help bring this film from a micro-budget YouTube video to a passable Tubi movie experience. They took my very detailed ideas and brought them to life.
Finally, I couldn’t have done this without the cast and crew. They put just as much passion and energy into this film as I have with my countless late night hours in front of the computer editing. You guys rock.
There is no official release date yet, as the film festival circuit may or may not find us a distributor. After it’s run, I will have a pretty good idea on release. I will also be announcing dates and locations when festivals select the film to be shown at their venue.
Thank you all again. 2024 will see the rise of the Killer Kabbage.
-Michael A. Dotson

But the tenants living in his building are always in need of him for something. Fix this, replace that, unblock this toilet. However, when the power goes out in the building the culprit is not a blown fuse or faulty wiring it is two of the tenants who have opened a portal to hell in the basement of the building. If Jack doesn’t close the portal and stop Great Cthulhu rising from his watery tomb city then the entire building, no, the entire world will go down the pan. – Mark A Wood

The Original Motion Picture to New York Ninja, by Voyag3r, was recorded, mixed and mastered by Steve Greene here at the Battle Chamber and was released on Digital, CD, Cassette and Vinyl by Mondo/Deathwaltz. The film was completed and released by Vinegar Syndrome and edited and re-directed by Kurtis Spieler.
Here is what the New York Times had to say about New York Ninja:The 1984 kung fu film was shot, but it wasn’t completed. Now, with a new director and newly recorded dialogue, the film sees the light of day.
The names of most of the original cast and crew are lost to time, and Spieler said Vinegar Syndrome tried to find Liu but wasn’t able to. This gave Spieler the chance to start fresh with the audio, commissioning a synth-heavy retro score by the Detroit band Voyag3r and fielding a murderer’s row of genre-film stalwarts to dub the actors.

About the Film New York Ninja
Originally directed by and starring martial arts actor John Liu (The Secret Rivals, Invincible Armor) in his only American production, New York Ninja was filmed entirely on 35mm in 1984, but the project was abandoned during production resulting in all original sound materials being lost over time. 35 years later, Vinegar Syndrome acquired the original unedited camera negative and painstakingly constructed and completed the film. Enlisting the voice talents of genre favorites: Don “The Dragon” Wilson (Bloodfist, Whatever It Takes), Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead, Nightmare Sisters), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes, Auntie Lee’s Meat Pies), Vince Murdocco (Night Hunter, LA Wars), Matt Mitler (The Mutilator, Battle for the Lost Planet), Leon Isaac Kennedy (Lone Wolf McQuade, Penitentiary), Ginger Lynn Allen (The Devil’s Rejects, Vice Academy), and Cynthia Rothrock (China O’Brien, Martial Law) Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is extremely proud to present this truly one of kind film experience. Restored in 4K from the original camera elements, New York Ninja is finally available in all of its ridiculous over-the-top glory for the first time ever after spending nearly four decades in film obscurity.
Directed by: John Liu and Kurtis Spieler 2021 / 93 min / 1.85:1 / English 2.0 Stereo
