SunnyHello Nice effects though.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Michael Ledo On the plus side, the soundtrack is by George Clinton which gives the film that "Miami Vice" feel. On the remote island nation of Blackbeard Island U.S. Marines who guard the embassy are disappearing...being kidnapped by ninjas who dress all in black and never stand out. Two Rangers are called in to replace the marines and find out what is going on, Curtis Jackson (Steve James) and Joe Armstrong (Michael Dudikoff) who contrary to his anme fights with his feet.The movie is 80's corny. The fight scenes are over choreographed and done to music that makes the fighting "light" in nature. No one owns a gun so they all fight ninja style. I enjoyed the film as a campy look at the 1980's. As a stand alone film, it is passe.No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Harriet Deltubbo This film is worthy of all the hopes you have. I really wanted to like this film. Ain't no such thing as too much Michael Dudikoff, baby! The real centerpiece of the film is its acting, mainly that of Dudikoff. This is a story about a place most people might not be able to conceive. All the characters struggle against a system that has perpetuated falsehoods. Against this backdrop, our ninja hero must fight on in a sequel that is on par with the original. Great performances help to enhance this amazing story of ninja warfare and violence. I give it a rating of 7 out of 10 because it's flawed but good.

Woodyanders Joe Armstrong (the likable Michael Dudikoff) and Curtis Jackson (the equally engaging Steve James) battle a legion of genetically engineered ninja assassins on a Caribbean island. Director Sam Firstenberg, working from a blithely inane script by Gary Conway and James Booth, relates the delightfully ludicrous story at a swift pace, makes the most out of the exotic locale, and stages the wall-to-wall action set pieces with rip-roaring brio. James and Dudikoff make for a charming duo, Conway snarls it up with wicked aplomb as nefarious drug lord Leo "The Lion" Burke, and the fetching Michelle Botes provides plenty of spark (and tasty eye candy) as the foxy'n'feisty Alicia Sanborn. Moreover, the gut-busting array of hopelessly incompetent ninjas (they run around in broad daylight clad in hilariously conspicuous black garb!), continuity gaffes galore, and an inspired sense of giddy absurdity further enhance the infectiously campy merriment. Gideon Porath's slick score gives the picture a pleasing glossy look. George S. Clinton's bouncy score hits the stirring spot. Good cheesy fun.

FlashCallahan Plotwise, this film hasn't really got much going for it. Dudikoff and James become involved with some problems when a few marines in Bermuda shorts get kidnapped by......ninjas.Someones dad has been kidnapped too, because the bad guy in the white suit wants to create the perfect specimen. And he must be dangerous, because one of his henchmen has a lazy eye, and kills other ninjas for a laugh.The guy with the lazy eye is the toughest ninja because on the beach, he stands on a rock and makes threatening hand gestures to Dudikoff.The second installment of the series isn't very good, but is made watchable thanks tho Steve James. Besides from his awesome hair, he spouts out one-liners and is the person in the film who can do that thing where lots of people jumps on him and he can throw them all off at once and get them to sound like someone has just got a strike bowling.Dudikoff doesn't fare as well though. he spends the majority of the film pouting, but you know he is the American ninja because he gently slides a sword across a bad guy and they die.It's typical 80's fodder from Cannon, so you know what to expect.Light on plotSilly fight scenessillier bad guyand even sillier music which plays when ever there is an impending fight scene.It's forgettable stuff, but worth watching if your a fan of the franchise.
