When we originally wrote about the upcoming fantastic-looking spoof NORWEGIAN NINJA, the idea was for Dark Sky Films to release it at the end of June. Obviously, June has come and gone and no NORWEGIAN NINJA! Hopefully you didn’t spend too much time contemplating your potentially awful life without NORWEGIAN NINJA in it, because we’ve just gotten a sweet update on the flick’s impending DVD release – which comes on AUGUST 30th!
With that, we have the full details on the special features you can expect:
– 3 Deleted Scenes
– 6 Bonus Scenes
– 6 Featurettes Including Interview with actor Mads Ousal, writer-director Thomas Capplen Malling, and producer Eric Vogel
– Music Video
– Trailer

If you have no idea what the hell I’ve been talking about, read NORWEGIAN NINJA‘s synopsis and then give the trailer a look. You won’t regret it.
In 1984, high-ranking Norwegian diplomat Arne Treholt was tried and convicted of acting as a spy on behalf of the Soviet Union. But what if the courts got it wrong? What if the case against him was a sham? What if – dare we consider – Treholt was not a spy at all but a patriot of the highest order and the leader of a secret ninja force created by King Olav? A ninja force locked in a secret battle against all who would challenge Norwegian sovereignty?
A fictionalized account of the most notorious political scandal in Norwegian history, NORWEGIAN NINJA is a deliciously tongue-in-cheek spoof of the Cold War spy movie, with added ninja action. Blending historical events and actual newsreel footage of the Treholt affair with his own less-than-historical elements, debuting writer-director Thomas Cappelen Malling (a contributor to the upcoming horror anthology The ABCs of Death) creates a film that wryly questions just how truthful the truth really is. And then sends a ninja to punch the truth in the face.
