Course not, just trying to get a bite

Tbh though, I've only ever watched it once when I was a kid, I remember enjoying it back then

I've never seen it.

Is it a good action film that still stands up today like Commando, Blood Sport etc or a nostalgia piece?

Then I took the bait! Well done sir, well done

American Ninja 2 is a better movie imo, but the first movie is still first class Cannon entertainment.

Calum has posted about getting the American Ninja films, on Facebook. A quick peruse of the Hollywood Classics site reveals that they handle home entertainment distribution of American Ninja 1-4. American Ninja 5 (and terrible btw), is still controlled by Warners.

I have only seen number 4, and it was bonkers in a very good way.

You have to see number 2. It has the greatest wtf moment ever committed to film. They used a stand-in for Dudikoff in one scene where he walks out of an office, and the guy walks past camera and stares right into it. It's just crazy!

I remember the first time i saw the turn around stunt man i kept rewinding it to see were my eyes playing tricks on me. In all fairness he turned around pretty fast so a trained professional was needed to prevent injury or even worse.
