The Japanese movie Kairyu daikessen (Ultimate Dragon Battle, I think it would translate as, more or less) has several other titles (according to the Internet Movie Database): The Magic Serpent, Froggo and Droggo, Grand Duel in Magic, Les monstres de l'apocalypse and, my favorite, Ninja Apocalypse.

If I had seen this movie twenty-five years ago or so, it would have changed my life. It begins and ends with scenes of combined ninja action and giant monster battles. In between is a lot of flying around, snakes turning into people, scrolls turning into snakes, explosions, throwing stars, giant magic glowing things and tons of other stuff.

It's perfect for an afternoon when you've taken both cold and allergy medicines.
