American Ninja 4: The Annihilation

Am I crazy or does the guy getting married look and act a lot like Chris Rock ? F'ing strange. Anyways... this series has never made any sense to me but for some reason I've watched all the movies till the end. Maybe I just like ninjas or maybe I'm just trying to figure out if they made these movies bad on purpose or did someone with a bunch of money one day just say "Hey, I think I want to make some ninja movies" , called up some chums in the business and bam, this was born. I'd probably keep watching these series if they kept going on forever just for a distraction to keep my mind from dark places :}

I have always been a fan of the "American Ninja" movies ever since I was a kid. I have seen three of them. This one I miss because I didn't know Cannon Films did a 4th "American Ninja" film. Well this one features the two heroes of the "American Ninja" film series: Joe Armstrong (Michael Dudikoff) & Sean Davidson (David Bradley) minus Curtis Jackson (Steve James). In this adventure, former karate champion Sean, now a CIA agent, was sent to the African forest to rescue four Delta Force commandos from ninjas. When Sean, his partner & a cute, beautiful American nurse were captured by a madman who want to start World War 3 with a nuclear bomb, the CIA have no choice but to persuade retired Army Ranger Joe Armstrong, now a teacher, to rescues them. Of course, Joe went after he learn that Sean was captured and they were going to executed him & the Americans. As always, Joe Armstrong saves the day using his martial arts skills and him & Sean prevent a nuclear Armageddon from happening. The movie ends when Joe says goodbye to Sean & his allies and went back to the school but not before he told Sean "you can find me in the school"."American Ninja 4: The Annihilation" is great action movie and the perfect conclusion to Joe Armstrong story arc. This is a must-have for all die hard "American Ninja" fans.

Here are only a few reasons why this movie surpasses even Plan 9 as the worst movie ever made.1. Every cliche in the book has been written in. Like the soldier coming to the retired American Ninja at his Peace Corps classroom to ask for his help in rescuing the other American Ninja where the retired ninja responds "I told you the last time, it was the last time." BAM!2. All the bad ninjas are COLORCODED! Don't know which ninja is more skilled than the others? Well, they're all wearing prime colors and you know which one is the boss because he's got an eyepatch.3. The American Ninja enlists the help of some kind of retro-80's junkyard gang to take on the bad ninjas like something out of Mad Max.4. Lastly we have scenes like the recently un-retired ninja fashioning a new sword. One scene he's got what looks like a led pipe and an grinder and in the next he's got a perfectly polished sword. The best scene however, is where the American Ninja, wearing a t-shirt and jeans is about to attack the bad ninja castle when he jumps into a convenient hole in the ground and immediately jumps back out in full black ninja gear. OH WAIT! I forgot about the scene when he catches a crossbow arrow in his teeth and stabs the guy next to him with it while it's still in his mouth.Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this movie. Nothing like a good chuckle and no brain cells required. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good bathos.

Michael Dudikoff doesn't appear in this movie until the second half. The beginning start out with this black actor getting married and they get a call in the middle of the service that they have to leave. So they go to see what is happening in this country. They stop at their boss's office and watch a video of American men that got captured. They were tortured and killed. So he and his partner get over there and they do all this fighting and a woman helps them hind, but they all get captured. This is when Michael comes in. This is where they find him living the quiet life teaching in some country. They come and ask him to help. It shows him thinking about, but he does go. He takes on all of the bad guys and of course he kills all of them. In the end it shows him walking off back to his life that he had. I would of thought that the ending would of been the black guy getting married again with all of them there at the wedding, but they didn't.

Good movie

Michael Dudikoff and David Bradley shine in this fun 90's action film. James Booth is a great villain in this as well. This film keeps the legacy of the American Ninja franchise going. It mixes international intrigue and ninja action. It delivered what I expected from it. If you are a fan of this genre, then you will be happy.

Joe and Sean in one movie is cool. However this movie doesn't have the action or stunts of the first and second film. It's still better than American ninja 3.

This is a great movie, Great Ninja Action with David Bradley and Michael they should have done another movie after this one.

Me gustaría dirigirme a la distribuidora que ha puesto a la venta esta película, ya que no se dónde dirigirme para agradecerles el trabajo realizado. Entiendo que al igual que ésta y otros muchos otros títulos como la "La Noche De Halloween", la "Noche De Halloween 2", "El Guerrero Americano 1,2,3 y 4, "Cyborg", "La Venganza Del Ninja", "Ninja 3 La Dominación", "Noche De Miedo 1 y 2", "The Quest" han sido realizados por la misma distribuidora independiente. Me da exactamente igual si es un Blu Ray R, sin prensar, como he leído en alguna otra opinión. Son los grandes título con los que crecí de niño y que hoy día no existen para su compra. Quería agradecerles el trabajo realizado ya que ninguna otra distribuidora se había encargado de traerlas a España en Blu Ray y en algún caso de las citadas anteriormente, ni tan siquiera en DVD. No me gustaría que terminaran aquí este trabajo ya que existen otros clásicos ochenteros/noventeros que no pueden faltar en una videoteca, del tipo "Al Final De La Escalera", "El Ente", "Congo", "La Justicia Del Ninja", "Mentes Peligrosas", "Aterriza Como Puedas", "No Matarás Al Vecino", "Esta Casa Es Una Ruina", "Critters 1-4", "Delta Force 2", "Sin Escape", "Buscando Justicia", "Perseguido, Presa De La Secta", "Ghost Ship", "Volcano"... que parecen olvidadadas y que bien merecen un Blu Ray en nuestro país y no se han editado todavía además de ser imposible encontrarlas en ediciones extranjeras con Castellano. Volviendo a este Blu Ray, contiene Castellano, y está fenomenal. Un saludo.

Non-stop action movie. My husband will watch over and over again. So Good!
