A little too long for what I want out of this and it’s a lot of repetitious sequences but they aren’t without their charms. Funny to think about how our rogue military action stars went from fighting ninjas and shit to the realistic stuff we have now

Pretty enjoyable action flick. Dudikoff was hiliariously bad - He has the same expression the entire film: no matter if someone died, someone said "I Love You" or "It's a boy!".

When I was 10, ninjas were my shit. Now...I just don't know. But Steve James will always be pretty damn cool. The climactic battle is a thing of beauty. I was especially impressed with how they incorporated the ninja obstacle course into the final fight between Joe and the Black Star Ninja.

A franchise designed for the eight year olds of the 80's. It's awful right down to the core, but it's the kind of gratuitous awfulness that children and drunkards don't seem to notice, hence the multiple sequels.

The end battle is fantastic (especially the escalating weapons of the evil ninja), the rest is a little slow but mostly charming. There is too little forward momentum as the main character leaves the base returns and leaves and returns again. The fight choreography is clunky much of the time, but the energy at the end makes up for it.

Obviously even worse than I've rated it in terms of any legitimate artistic merit whatsoever, but there's very clear so-bad-it's-good cheese value here. The terrible acting and dialogue and corny action scenes and American military macho vibe and insanely 80s musical score make for a shit movie that's fun and easy to sit through. Oh and Judie Aronson is super hot, though unlike in Friday the 13th 4 her boobs sadly remain private throughout the film's duration.

During the 80's, just as slasher movies overran the horror genre, "ninja" movies sprouted like weeds in an attempt to cash in on the popularity of 80's action and martial arts films. Proof being an entire franchise of "American Ninja" movies. Unfortunately the lead action star, Michael Dudikoff, is a black hole of charisma, but if you can completely turn your brain off to any part of the script, the movie has enough fun ninja action schlock to enjoy.

Some of the martial arts fighting is kind of entertaining, but it spends so much of its time with the garbage plot and equally useless sideplots. Combine that with bad acting and the bad well outweighs the good.
