"American Ninja 2" or "Steve James is the BEST Ninja"

[tacticslion]

Taking my mind of of genuine senseless violence by watching fake senseless violence.

That's all I'm sayin', really. (specifically just letting it go until about 0:43:00)

Need more proof? (from earlier in the movie, go to about 0:21:04)

The awesome doesn't stop. (from later, go to 1:20:01 and skip to here until about 1:21:36, though the best ninja attack in existence attack has to be the "stay down" attack)

Dude is suave with "teh ladies", moves with more grace than anyone else in the movie, can blend in in social situations or combat with ease, doesn't need a gun outside of a one-off shield to prevent a dirty gang-up sneak-attack, and is built like a truck.

The. Best. Ninja.

Also this guy, is the best too. Just look at what the man goes through for his job. and he can only be defeated by ramming him into a building and blowing him up! Now that's a dedicated guy! Still, he's not as much the best as Steve James, but definitely still the best.

I'm not saying Michael Dudikoff is lame or anything, he's actually pretty sweet. He's just overshadowed by an even better ninja in that movie and I think we all need to agree with that.

My one problem is with the female lead. Seriously woman, you had a gun, or at least the opportunity to have one at, like, fifty bajillion different times (or perhaps three), why did you never use it?!

Oh, that, and the dad blew himself up for no reason. Like, at all. The man nearly cured cancer and decided to kill himself because "oops, I made sub-par evil ninjas instead under medical suppression and threats against my daughters life".

ANYway.
