If you decapitate a ninja with a boomerang, he just ain’t dead

In the 1966 Toei fantasy flick The Magic Serpent, the hero Ikazuchi-Maru is ambushed by a gang of boomerang-wielding ninjas (who are way more dangerous than hula-hoop-wielding ninjas).

The dastards succeed in decapitating our hero, but he's got one last stupid ninjutsu up his sleeve. Also, witness the most ignominious death of a ninja henchman ever committed to celluloid.
