Also worth mentioning is that when Super Ninja throws his grappling hook he clearly misses the truck, he’s several feet off and too low. But in the next scene the grappling hook is just dropped into the truck. Also, for some reason that gas plant blows up just a split second before the truck crashes into it.
they should study this movie in every school. Dudikoff not an MAtist? You could have fooled me because I recognize some of his moves. I believe he must have been trained.
when i found out that there was 5 american ninjas i started collecting them i had to special order 2 and 3 but my favorite scene has to be in american ninja 4 when the gang is atacking the ninja base there is a dude running around with a 50 cal machine gun which is a prop cuz that gun wieghs 80 lbs
I noticed when that stunt double exited the office too. I have always wanted to know waht was up with that... I cant imagine any senarios to actualy do that. Unless it was a way to make the audiance laugh or the actual take was mees up. I dont know ots just a real amiture mistake.
You forgot to add that during the back allway fight scene; just after the part where your talking about Joe's enormous package. Joe dislocates a curly blond long haired guy's arm; he's the guy with the military pants on. The same guy opens up the next fight scene with amazing dexterity; although he does seem to be protecting his left arm. He couldn't win with 2 arms... why fight with 1?
that super ninja as he calls it was actually a super ninja,if you had watched the movie you would have known that the main bad guy makes ninja's that are stronger and faster than a normal superhuman being...
awesome movie, one of the few that acrually make ninjas look cool, love the sound track too, awesome, but yeh i did notice that what you were talkin about at 1:12, just watching it the other day, man i just love this movie and the actors especially the American Ninja
The American ninja movies are the shit. Steve James is the F-ing man, its to bad he died in real life. American Ninja 4 is outstanding, Ninjas in Africa poping up out of the water like alligators and shit. You got to watch it to belive it. They are better now then they were back then because now they're funny as hell and thats all I can ask for. My whole household gets together to watch these movies.
Hehe you know i could do a review about "Commando" with its flaws but its pointless.. its was 80s and it was cool i leave it at that. I enjoyed these growing up it was a part of culture
This review is pointless, you got to understand it was the 80s. Who bloody cares! it was a great movie (entertainment) then and all young people enjoyed it who were into ninja craze back then. It's no use taking the piss out of it now. Bit too late - dont you think?....
At 0:58 the voice for comments tell "stuntduble". So where is the "stunt" in the office of the chief????? Hi Hi hi... Is a double... not a stuntduble...
I actually saw this movie in the theater back in 5th grade and just thought it was the coolest movie in the world. I even wrote a report about it when asked to write "my favorite movie" report. This movie rocks!
American Ninja 2 is a laugh riot. Every single aspect of it is amateur. Those "ninjas" could get their butts kicked by kids. The plot is silly. It is also very obvious they didn't have time to make several takes of a scene,pretty much like Ed Wood did.
I just watched American Ninja V actually. Fuck the haters, American Ninja kicks ass. Especially Mr. Dudikoff, the original American ninja and 13 time UFC heavyweight champ.
Too funny mate! I loved the American Ninja (part 1) and part 2 to some extent when I was a kid . . . and you know what . . . I noticed the same things back then as well!!
you asshole, man! this is an american classic. hopw can you make fun of this picture and call dudikoff's fake penis and things he put in his sweat pants to look more impresive on film?
I love these movies. They are painful to watch but still fun. Although American Ninja is no Ice Pirates. I dare you to make fun of that! Oh wait. Nevermind.
When did Steve James die? Dudikoff was better in higher budget films like the Ringmaster and Bachlor Party. He even played in a Lifetime thriller with the excellent actress Susan Loochie as an abusive partner.
i love those soundtrack of the film, anybody knows the female artist which is played in beggers bar when dudikoff joins it the first time. or anybody knows where to get the complete film soundtrack ???
I loooooved this movie as a kid. But watching when it about 15 years later,I have to say that even with my love for cheesy 80's movies like Enter the Ninja,this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.I still love Kickboxer even though there's no kickboxing in it,Bloodsport even though his training should have put him in hospital,and America Ninja 1 even though the main ninja used lasers.But the acting in part 2 was so bad it's painful to watch now, especially by the girl.
lol idiot, you werent suppose to wathc this movie at this particular age and in tmodern times, you were suppose to watch it when it came out, then it was the shit, lol what an idiot, you think you are some mastermind of movie flaws? hahahaha
I saw this film when I was 13, around the time when it first came out and even then I spotted all the flaws in it, YOU must of been an idiot if you missed any of them.
This was a cheap production. What are you expecting? Watch it purely for entertainment purposes. But, Dudikoff despite his lack of real MA training, showcased a good charisma as a ninja.
Also worth mentioning is that when Super Ninja throws his grappling hook he clearly misses the truck, he’s several feet off and too low. But in the next scene the grappling hook is just dropped into the truck. Also, for some reason that gas plant blows up just a split second before the truck crashes into it.

Either:
1. You were looking at his package yourself and used "your girlfriend" in the review to hide that fact, or
2. Your girlfriend really did notice, which should tell you something about what's important to her....
