I can't remember this 80s Kung-Fu Movie back in the day.. help!?

Question

I just remember this dude(or was it two) he had to go through different color of ninjas that complemented their surroundings. He had to go through(if I remember correctly) a group of Blue, Red, Brown, Green (maybe more?) ninjas. I remember the brown ninjas were "Earth Ninjas", they hid underneath the soil and grabbed intruders underground and killed them. I remember the main character, he went on stilts and used that to kill them. Then I remember either the Blue ninjas or the Green were under-water ninjas. They would jump out of the swamp or lake looking thing and kill intruders. PLEASE help me find or tell me the title of this movie. I want to get it bad....

Answer 1

That was Shao Lin Super Ninja.

Or at least that was the name it went under when I saw it.

A group of Chineese martial artists challenges another group and defeats them.

The second group's leader hires a Japanese swordsman to fight and he is also defeated. But he leaves a note saying that his friend who is a ninja master will come to avenge his death.

The ninjas, who are masters of the 5 elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Wood, and Metal/ Gold) arrive and kill almost all the good guys.

One member escapes who goes in search of a Chineese master and expert in the 5 Ninja elements.

The survivor returns with another group (Chineese ninja experts) and avenges his comrades.

Hope that helps.
