Research notes
Easy:
- Astral Video Logo
- DOMOVIDEO warning and logo, medium? difficulty to look at the comments which identify the copyright music as Isao Tomita - Allegro Marcato as well as Isao Tomita - Close Encounters at 0:45
- scrubbed Super Platoon to appropriate moment after credits Super Platoon at 11:02
- recognized 3D model of VHS tape from Mixtape 17, scrubbed National demo to appropriate moment near end National demonstration at 6:29
- Ninja USA is in the Codex and I recognized the costar (temporarily forgot “HEY...good lookin swords” guy is in this and Protector) so scrubbed from beginning [Ninja in the USA at 16:23]
- Ninja the Protector is in the Codex and is fairly easy to recognize because it has "old" Richard Harrison. The "fashion show" scene transitions to Gordon getting some money. Ninja the Protector at 10:31
- I could classify this as "Medium" difficulty because it requires actually listening, ha, when the clip says "This wraps up what's great for handycam camcorders 98", and the first result is Sony 1998 Handycam Camcoder demo tape at 8:55.
- Ninja USA ringside [Ninja in the USA at 55:50]
- King Dark's Wreath Minion hates dogs in Hanuman and the 5 Kamen Riders at 9:34
- Three friends walk into a freeze frame in The Fairy and the Devil at 87:32
- Mom nearly burns down the house in Haunted House Elf at 38:19
- Cheetah woman is back down to size in Legend of the Fist of the North Star at 23:49
- Bat-tracking in Hanuman and the 5 Kamen Riders at 42:37
- Rogue’s gallery in Hanuman and the 5 Kamen Riders at 45:34
- Boy digs up baby ginseng monstrosity in Three Headed Monster at 2:08
- Monks? hunt ginseng in Three Headed Monster at 6:50
- A bridge too far in [Ninja in the USA at 68:48]
- Assault on the compound roof in [Ninja in the USA at 77:17]
Medium:
- Used tilde-A and keyword VHS: VISÃO VIDEO apresenta
- King of Snake scene where adult is juggling Mosler's young friend at the bottom of the stairs. Movie is in the Codex, but on Archive dot org, so it's not easy to "scrub" through on mobile. The clip is near the end since Mosler is about to be killed, so a thumbnail at 4,950 seconds seems similar, and the skip-back button works well with patience. Timecode is 1:22:43, and converting that to seconds is
82*60+43=80*60+2*60+43=4800+120+43=4963. King of Snake at 82:43. - instead of always switching back and forth between scenes and sources, this mixtape decides sometimes to stay inside a source but jump over scenes, sometimes even within the same chapter of the movie. Witness several of the Glasses Guy (but not the "no-good shitheads" moment) scenes from Golden Ninja Warrior strung together:
- glasses smokes then storms gate [Golden Ninja Warrior at 68:41]
- jump forward to more in-gate fighting [Golden Ninja Warrior at 70:28]
- jump forward to tongue defense which leads to forced sideways splits [Golden Ninja Warrior at 71:00]
- Cyber Ninja scene inside white stone death zone. Another Archive dot org only source, and no thumbnails. I could download the DVD ISO and look at the chapters but I’ll just scrub instead. Cyber Ninja at 37:29
- Stuart Smith as Victor asks his friend Roger (and his wife) if he can stay with them for a couple of months. IMDb with those character names leads to The Ultimate Ninja. It's listed in the Codex, but the Archive dot org copy doesn't have good navigable thumbnails. I had already found a YouTube link from mixtape 08, and forgot ha. Scrubbing through leads to The Ultimate Ninja at 11:10. This also reveals that the Bruce Baron "shit!" follows it in the source movie as well as the mixtape.
Hard:
- Filmark movie with lots of Anglo names in credits over military action. No entry in Codex.

- Balcony/roof with scaffolding where man in black t-shirt is tied up, large white sub-title "HONG KONG". Torturer (who is wearing one of the IFD Yellow Jackets of Invincibility) speaks the TITLE DROP. Maybe given that significance someone ID'd the movie in my chat notes, which are organized by broadcast -- time to update the wiki header. Woman higher on roof shoots torturer and then man in black's bonds, freeing him, as well as taking out another baddie in a red-paneled jacket. He joins her and wants her to leave with him, but she tells "Hank" to just go, and that she was ordered to make him fall in love with her. Searching for “Godfrey Ho Hank” eventually led me to IMDb entry for Advent Commando 2: Hunting Express, whose cover very clearly has the mixtape scene in it. It also has the “being attacked from behind while reading a map” scene in it.
Found the full movie! [American Commando 2 Hunting Express at 13:37]. It was under Helena William, who has supplied several other sources, so I could’ve looked there first, but it’s clear Google related searches are not linear.
