Joining Joe Armstrong (Michael Dudikoff) is Curtis Jackson ( Steve James) who, like Joe, is promoted to the Army Rangers and sent on a mission to the Caribbean in search of missing Marines. Quicker than you can say déjà vu, Joe and Curtis are battling scientifically-engineered Super Ninjas in an attempt to bring down a dreaded drug lord known as The Lion (Gary Conway).
American Ninja 2 is a lively sequel to the excellent American Ninja that has wall to wall action - exciting fight scenes courtesy of Mike Stone's choreography and endless inventive and OTT sequences. The story as well as the plot is simple, yet it's quite eyegrabbing and fun. It's not meant to be taken seriously and viewers who haven't lost the child in them would appreciate it. Michael Dudikoff and Steve James shine with their chemistry, with one being quiet and contemplative and the other (Steve James) being loud and gagging for a fight.
