As one of the many ''Film/GodfreyHoNinjaMovies'', Shadow Killers Tiger Force combines two genres that nobody thought would go together - Ninjas and [[GirlsBehindBars Women in Prison]]. Completed in 1986, this movie took scenes from ''Girls in a Tiger's Cage'', an Asian movie set in World War II and combined it with new ninja footage about Lady Ninja. Many young women vanish without a trace, so Lady Ninja (Cora Bentley) takes action and enters the prison camp to find Sylvia. Sylvia (among other female prisoners) has to do slave labor and is set to be sold to a high bidder in the middle East. Lady Ninja is determined to save her from the camp and has to engage in a crazy Ninja fight with Big Bad Davis at the end.

* ThirdActStupidity: Mr. Davis accuses Lady Ninja of destroying his "empire" to force her into the final fight. While all that she has done is freeing two of he women, Davis still has his camp and probably hundreds of women, he completely abandons his camp and faces off Lady Ninja.
* UnstoppableMailman: By the middle of the movie the prison inmates happen to receive mail. How women who were kidnapped by the evil Black Ninjas would receive mail is up to the viewers interpretation. Later on, Lady Ninja herself becomes this trope, as she brings Sylvia's (very primitive) letter to her father (Mr. Bentley).

!!The film provides examples of:
* ActionGirl: Lady Ninja is just as competent with fighting as her male antagonists.
* AnachronismStew: The source material is WWII-based, the ninja scenes are clearly 80s, this never seems to fit together.
* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Bad guy Mr. Wing needs a blood transfusion and his blood type is given as "Rhesus negative" (nothing more)
* BellyDancer: In one of the strangest scenes of the movie, Lady Ninja does a seductive belly dance to irritate Davis. She finally uses [[spoiler: her belt to cut his head off, but this doesn't work out, as his head just gets back to its initial place]].

* CatFight: Happens when Sylvia first enters her prison cell.
* CrazyPrepared: Mr. Bentley (Sylvia's father) and his sidekick were smart enough to bring a rocket launcher to the endfight with Davis.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Invokes and exploited by lady ninja twice. First time she distracts Mr. Wing so the other prisoners burn him with hot tar, the other time the delivery man so that she can escape the camp in what seems to be the soup.
* FailedASpotCheck: Lady Ninja and some of her fellow prisoners fight a guarding ninja and try to bury him alive. They only use some shovels and conclude that this will be enough to hide him forever.
* GirlsBehindBars: Lady Ninja infiltrates a camp of imprisoned women. There's no lesbianism but some cat fights.
