Review of American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987) by Brendan N — 27 Dec 2012

Dudikoff returns with a sequel that bears little resemblance to the original. The beach scene was humorous which takes any seriousness away from a film that is so bent on seriousness. The overall scientific plot is absurd and the kidnapping of soldiers is laughable.

The film doesn't quite have the energy to keep the plot line moving and the acting hasn't improved. The series continues a downward spiral from here which is a shame because as kids we all loved the series.

I had to track this series down which I'm sadly beginning to regret. Cannon really didn't make a lot of great films but at least they made films for the audience.
