New York Ninja is a 2021 American action film written, directed by and starring John Liu. Liu plays a vigilante ninja in New York City who seeks revenge after his wife is murdered. New York Ninja was shot in 1984, but was not completed until 2021, when its footage was discovered and restored by the film preservation and home video distributor Vinegar Syndrome. New York Ninja was filmed in New York City, and was shelved after its original distribution company went bankrupt. The abandoned footage was eventually acquired by Vinegar Syndrome; without audio, storyboards, or scripts, it was reconstructed by a new director, Kurtis M. Spieler. Dubbed dialogue was recorded by actors including Don Wilson, Michael Berryman, Cynthia Rothrock, Linnea Quigley, Vince Murdocco, Matt Mitler, Leon Isaac Kennedy, and Ginger Lynn Allen. Spieler commissioned the Detroit band Voyag3r to create the score. It received positive reviews.
