Remembered another series I was lucky ( ? ) enough to be gifted with. As a rule of thumb, it's always good to avoid a film with "ninja" in the title, they tend to be low on every redeeming quality including budget, aiming to make monies by luring in the slow-witted and excitable by use of the "ninja" tag. This series could be a poster child for that sentiment. Ninja Dragon, Golden Ninja Warrior and Ninja Terminator are just the three I was given, there's more by the people involved. They're not just bad, not even just so bad you feel inclined to watch them again to check if you're remembeing it correctly, "surely they can't be as bad as I remember... oh".
They have an extra thing going for them to push down on their dire quality to maybe make it bob back to the top, the way they're cut. It seemed at the time as if a wealthy aging man had decided "I want to play a hero" and plucked a little known Hong Kong film to hack about and insert himself into. There's clearly two unrelated films going on with these. Occasionaly a tenuous connection is made by a phone call set up between the two. One has regular folk going about regular shady activities, the other has this aging chap in pyjama like ninja outfits rolling and posing with a katana. I felt sorry for him, in a pity way, that someone could be so pathetic a soul as to feel a need to do that and be satisfied that was done right. I imagined a corporate man with more money than sense going through a mid-life crisis, proudly doling out copies of these flicks to folk in his work arena and behind his back being regarded as a laughing stock.
Turns out that ain't the case, the actor did some regular flavour of dire ninja flicks for a firm that then went on to use clips of him in further films he knew nothing about. Still shocking. Ignoring the ethics, that they thought that process would enhance a film rather than render it into something expletives should be used to describe, madness.

Why is she wearing high heels?

The redeeming grace of the American Ninja movies is the appearance of Steve James.
Though some of his most entertaining work was in this movie:

Hell no.
Watch The Heath Ledger "Casanova", equally as good a movie for putting her talents on display.

She's a very attractive woman with two main Faults:
Smoking

So let me get this wrong:
She's going to fire two automatic weapons simultaneously with a wide foot stance and in high heels. She's not going to brace against the kickback, not going to at least compensate by staggering her feet, and in typical John Woo fashion is going to aim both of her automatic weapons at seperate targets in a "spray, pray, and fall flat on your ass" fashion. Assuming the waif that is Ms. Miller can keep her firearms trained even remotely close to her target we still have to wonder why she's wearing skin-tight black leather (a completely bone-headed outfit to wear if you're going to exert yourself) and high-heels that are in no way helpful when running, especially if there is debris or uneven terrain.
She's a pretty woman. And I understand that some artistic license will be taken to make a woman more attractive in an action flick. But really, a pretty woman wielding a shotgun properly in combat boots is still pretty, and doesn't look comically incompetent at the same time. If you're going to see an action flick for the pretty women in provocative outfits while wielding firearms why not spare yourself the trouble and go to the interwebs where there are plenty of pretty women with guns?

Hollywood allows for fashion errors only when it comes to selling movies to geeks who will happily dribble over the image of a Tightly Leather Clad Woman brandishing Two pistols.
Besides take a look at the size of that belt buckle, just think of the damage that'll do when she sits down.
