Sequel to the "classic" American Ninja sees Michael Dudikoff and Steve James tackling a villain named The Lion. The Lion has an army of super ninjas. This would terrify most mortals but not the American Ninja! Not as much fun as the original but still good for some laughs and fist pumps. Dudikoff acts his best, which usually means squinting a lot and looking as though he's trying to figure out complex math equations. James outshines him in this one. He knows he's in crap and has a great deal of fun with it. As with the first movie, it's very low-budget and proudly wears a badge of inauthenticity surrounding anything military or martial arts related.
