The second installment of the "American Ninja" series isn't very good, but is made watchable thanks tho Steve James. Besides from his awesome hair, he spouts out one-liners and is the person in the film who can do that thing where lots of people jumps on him and he can throw them all off at once and get them to sound like someone has just got a strike bowling. The premise is pure comic book and this may be a Cannon movie, but the production values seem pretty good and I think non-martial artist Dudikoff's fighting is a bit better than it was in the jokey original.
This isn't actually a bad effort for a film of this genre. I know the acting is shocking, the script is full of gaping holes and the plot is bordering on farcial. A mad bloke has built a lab on a tropical island (why not) to grow his own super ninjas from American soldiers, so the American Government send more American soldiers to try to stop him. The movie itself is 80's corny. As a stand alone film, it is passe.
