Commando Ninja is a 2018 English-language French martial arts action comedy film written and directed by Benjamin Combes. It pays homage to 1980s action films such as Commando, The Terminator, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Predator, and American Ninja. The film stars Eric Carlesi, Philippe Allier, Stéphane Asensio, Olivier Dobremel, Anaëlle Rincent, and Charlotte Poncin.

Production

In 2016 Benjamin Combes wrote the script for Commando Ninja and spent US$5,000 on producing and shooting footage with his friends. Combes was heavily inspired by his two favorite childhood films: Commando and American Ninja, as well as the 2011 film Drive and the 2013 video game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

After doing a small casting call on a local Facebook group, Combes discovered bodybuilder Eric Carlesi and film memorabilia collector Philippe Allier and cast them as John Hunter and Leeroy Hopkins, respectively. In addition, he cast his former film schoolteacher Olivier Dobremel and Stéphane Asensio, Combes brought in his niece Anaëlle Rincent for the role of John's daughter Jenny.

Commando Ninja was shot in Montpellier, France from 2016 to 2018. In contrast to Kung Fury, which relied on using a digital sound stage, the film used real sets and practical special effects. The stunts were choreographed by Antony Cinturino. The kidnapping scene was shot at Combes' aunt's house, as it had similar architecture to American houses and the attic had 1980s carpeting.

The Val Verde assault scene was shot at Asensio's stepfather's winemaking villa in southern France. Filming the scene took three years, as the crew could only shoot during the summer and the vegetation in the background changed constantly. Because of this, Combes had to digitally alter the backgrounds shot during the fall to match those shot in the summer.

For the international version, all of the characters were dubbed over by English-speaking voice actors through the website VoiceBunny.com, except Charlotte Poncin and Thyra Hann Phonephet, who speak fluent English. Asensio also recorded his English lines during the pizza delivery scene.
