Occupying a space somewhere below the space between Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and the tackiest Hong Kong martial arts "thriller" you've ever seen, the body of work produced by the crack team of Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai with the word "Ninja" in the title is an under-recognised source of ephemeral fun. The Ho-Lai formula is simple: take one martial arts flick made by someone else, film some new footage of Western actors in silly ninja costumes and splice the two together with a new script and some connecting shots such as characters from the different films talking on the telephone. This recipe has given us a couple of great cinematic moments (ninja vs watermelon! ninjas on rollerskates!) as well as many hours of unwatchable mediocrity.
Anyway, as you haven't seen all of these (I've seen six, I think) feel free to vote for your favourite title.
