In this episode, we dive into the 1980s craze for martial arts and ninjas that swept through movies, TV shows, cartoons, and toy aisles. From the rise of black-clad warriors in cult classics to the karate boom sparked by Hollywood hits, we explore how Eastern fighting styles became a Western pop culture obsession—and why America just couldn’t get enough of throwing stars, headbands, and slow-motion roundhouse kicks.
