Movie Reviews of American Ninja
Movie Review: "He possess great skill !!!"
Summary: 4 Stars
"American Ninja" is one of my favourite 80's actioners produced by the unforgettable Golan-Globus team of "Delta Force" fame.
Though the body count is not massive, there are definitely some stirring scenes, in particular the truck hijack by the black-star ninja and the final confrontation with throwing stars, lasers, mini-bullet firing gloves etc. etc.
Dudikoff is a decent actor, mute most of the time, while the colonel's daughter is just fun.
The reunion with his childhood ninja mentor is high level (unintentional) comedy, "Ninjaish" dialogue galore.
Overall, a solid action film that should be frequently watched and appreciated.
Movie Review: A Good Example of 80s Action Movies!
Summary: 4 Stars
some maybe find this movie an old fashioned, but I'm an 80s action movies fan. I Suck Rambo trilogy, Watched "Big trouble in little china" more than 20 times and still watching the Predator occationally. This is not an old fashioned but a classic 80s action! and a good one, most of us have our best memories from that decade, and these movies help us to remember our childhood and our interests. In 80s, We used to watch G.I.JOE which should probably rated as "R" by these days standards. War and fight was the most important part of our lives in 80s. I bought this movie and many 80s actions and I'll buy any new releases of that good time actions!Movie Review: THIS WAS A GOOD MOVIE, SCREW WHAT THEM CRITICS SAID!
Summary: 4 Stars
IN THIS CULT CLASSIC, AN ARMY RECRUIT [MICHAEL DUDIKOFF] MUST STOP THE ARMY FROM DOING A MAJOR WEAPONS DEAL WITH SOME RICH BAD GUYS. THOUGH THERE REALLY ISN'T MUCH TO THE MARTIAL ARTS THAT'S DISPLAYED HERE, IT'S STILL A FUN MOVIE TO WATCH, DESPITE THE BAD THINGS THAT ALL THE CRITICS HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS MOVIE AND ITS SEQUELS, I'LL ADMIT IT, I REALLY ENJOYED THIS MOVIE. SCREW WHAT ALL THE CRITICS SAY, GO PICK UP THIS MOVIE NOW. MICHAEL DUDIKOFF AND STEVE JAMES HAVE AMAZING CHEMISTRY. FOLLOWED BY FOUR SEQUELS.Movie Review: Now THIS brings back the memories . . ..
Summary: 4 Stars
As a child of the eighties, I got caught up in some of the "fads" of the time. The ninja movie was a genre that shined in that decade, and I loved it. This movie was our attempt to capitalize on the genre without having to use a real ninja (like Sho Kasugi) to play the lead. The movie was good, though, with Steve James thrown in for comedy support. The plot was rather basic and the main villain, Senor Ortega, was supposed to be Spanish, but was played by a French actor, complete with accent.Movie Review: Somewhat Above-Average Reagan-Era Action
Summary: 4 Stars
The hero's lack of emotion is reminiscent of the lead character in 1984's black action flick "The Last Dragon" (American Ninja is a much better movie). Soap opera veteran Don Stewart ("The Guiding Light") is pretty good as the lead bad guy "Ortega." This movie usually rises above its modest roots and never lets the pace slow very much. If you like it, check out 1991's "The Perfect Weapon" with real-life martial artist Jeff Speakman.
