Live Action Izuna Drop - Ninja Gaiden's Ryu's Signature Throw in Action!

Without Ryu's signature twirling action, this throw is currently recognized around the world as Ryu's (the ninja hero from the Ninja Gaiden series of games) signature move (as well as one of Lee Rock's variation on it in the manga/anime Naruto), it is overlooked that this nifty throw first appeared in the pages of the 1970's ninja manga Kamui-den.

A recently released Japanese live-action film based on the old manga called "Kamui Gaiden" features the lead character performing the signature throw a couple of times in the film, to predictable results. For those interested in some fun classical ninja entertainment using modern visual FX be sure to check this film out.
