Hilarious 80's trash when Hollywood was trying hard to cash in on the martial arts film craze. There are some nostalgic reasons to watch this but the choreography and everything about it is completely terrible. The whole concept of there even being a white ninja is ludicrous enough that this movie will be remembered for its B-movie value

Poorly choreographed fights, and even worse acting, but it doesn't matter...watching this film as an adult is even more fun than as a kid; a lightning fast pace, great stereotypical characters, HILARIOUS unintentional comedy, and it introduced the United States to NINJAS!!!! That is, dudes wearing brightly colored pajamas (some in red or purple!) visible for miles around who do random crazy front flips whenever they're arriving to attack someone. It's funny.

It manages to have two most annoying things that can happen to a B-movie. 1) There is an attractive unclothed female in the story and they never show her boobs. 2) Lots of unviolent violence. There is a high body count, lots of katana/gun/shuriken etc. action but hardly any blood and no gore. Why would I want to watch it then?

Oh, please, Criticker. This is what all action films should strive to be. Just watched this for the first time, and I'd be hard pressed to think of a recent movie I've seen that I found more enjoyable; might be second to only SF: The Movie in my list of dumb action movies that are actually awesome. Action-packed and with hilarious acting and characters. Hell yeah. 08/05-2011

The quintessential 80's movie where a white American is immediately better at being a ninja then the actual ninjas who have been training all this time. Is it good? No, but it is pretty enjoyable.

A surprisingly action-packed film, but not worth watching in entirety, because the terrible acting and ridiculous premise will give you a headache, but Michael Dudikoff sure does put some ninjas in their place. If you stumble upon it on television sometime, watch a few minutes, but no more than fifteen. Crap!

To echo grimsooth, I enjoyed this flick when I was 10. Now I'm trying to figure out if these are truly grown men dressing up as ninjas and whooping each other up. Wow! Definitely something you find in the faded, dusty section of the video store.

This was my favorite movie as a kid. Now I'm not sure why, it's really reaching and generally terrible... but I still have a fondness for it.

There's a reason why you'll see this movie played on your local small-town affiliate station at 2 in the afternoon on a Sunday when your local sports teams are off: They couldn't afford the rights to a good movie.

The director of "Breakin' 2: Electric boogaloo" movies goes for the action flick jugular and hits the wrong person. it does look like he's directed nearly the ENTIRE "Dude (ikoff)" back catalogue
