Review of American Ninja (1985) by Ta M — 19 Dec 2013
Stationed in the Philippines, 18-year-old U.S. Army private Joe Armstrong (Michael Dudikoff) is escorting a supply convoy when it is ambushed by rebels - one of whom he recognizes as a Black Ninja warrior. Instinctively Joe defends himself using the esoteric martial art of Ninjitsu - an ability that puts him under suspicion by his commander and fellow soldiers. Alone in his fight against corruption, the boy finally discovers the secret of his mysterious past - a secret that pits him against the evil Black Start Ninja in the ultimate martial arts battle.
Also stars Steve James, Judie Aronson, Guich Koock, John Fujioka, Don Stewart, John LaMotta, Tadashi Yamashita and Phil Brock.
Directed by Sam Firstenberg.
