Just stumbled upon another one I used to watch when I was a kid that I had completely forgotten about
:
The Master
Lee Van Cleef as a ninja!

John Peter Macallister, was a Korean veteran who after serving, decided to live in Japan, and while there, he studied Ninjitsu and became a Ninja. 30 years later he learned that he has a daughter, so left, to find her. But apparently, he can't leave the sect that he is with, cause it means that he is now marked for death. He manages to escape and upon arriving in the States, he meets Max Keller, a drifter who has a penchant for getting involved with other people's problems and helping them out if he can. Max and Macallister hook up with Max helping him find his daughter, and Macallister teaching him the ways of the ninja. At the same evading Okasa, one of Macallister's students who is now sworn to kill him.

Ran from Jan - Aug '84. I think I caught a rerun on some channel a few years ago and I guess it was pretty cheesy, but I turned 10 in July of '84, so I guess it would've been right up my alley. I don't think I knew who Lee Van Cleef was at the time and didn't realize until years later that he was the bad guy from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
