Ninjas, ninjas, ninjas everywhere!

Welcome back to another edition of Adam's Reviews!! **queue in intro music**

Today's movie review is American Ninja 2: The Confrontation (1987), where there are ninjas literally everywhere!! Ninjas on the beach, ninjas at bars, ninjas, ninjas!! One thing this flick has taught me is that ninjas are just like you and me and should be respected. But seriously, lame but cool as fight scenes in this flick where Michael Dudikoff and Steve James return as Joe and Jackson to another exotic island location where they investigate the disappearance of American marine soldiers. Soon they find out that a millionaire and his science doctor bloke is trying to cook up some super soldiers in the science lab, with the intention of selling clone-ninjas to other villains. If you are an action junkie who like it over the top then this film is for you, ninja fights on a beach, ninja bar fights, ninja car chases, ninja explosions, and an awesome ninja sword fight towards the end of the film. This film is focused on better action sequences rather than pure stunt work. Jackson's does more action scenes here and who doesn't love 80's cheesey lines. Obviously the story structure is lacking but who cares, look into this film and the franchise if you want to laugh and pretend that you can be a ninja one day 6.2/10
