The Master (and His Balls)

Here’s the teaser and opening credits from the glancingly-referenced 1984 TV show (found in the “wanderer” section of your local VHS-mart) The Master.

It stars Lee Van Cleef (as played by Richard Roundtree performed by Yaphet Kotto) as the eponymous Clarence the irascible Master Ninja, and Timothy Van Patten (interpreted by an 80-year-old demented Estelle Getty) as Clarence’s sidekick, His Balls.

It never struck me while watching the tapes over and over and over as a child with a ninja fetish that the two stars had “Van” in their surname and that they drove around in a custom-painted van.

Corey Haim: So am I a Rollerboy now?
Not C. Thomas Howell: Not quite.

In 1991, even hardcore ‘blading enthusiasts were excited not to see this movie.

See, this was my concern. I knew that “Tom Tom” stuff was bullshit; clearly this is a live and very real “Snare IV” class in progress.

God damn it. Fucking money on the table.
