What happens

Commando Ninja is a 2018 English-language French martial arts action comedy film written and directed by Benjamin Combes.

The film stars Eric Carlesi, Philippe Allier, Stéphane Asensio, Olivier Dobremel, Anaëlle Rincent, and Charlotte Poncin. The film was crowdfunded through Kickstarter in 2018. It raised €31,953, which was more than double its original goal of €15,000.
