American Ninja 2: The Confrontation

Sam Firstenberg is no stranger to B-movie fans.  One of his first directorial efforts was a personal favorite of mine, "Revenge of the Ninja".  Thankfully, he continued that streak and only took a short break from that genre to film one of the masterpieces of American cinema with "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo".  "American Ninja" was next on his plate, and he took an up and coming actor in Michael Dudikoff and made him a B-movie star.  Today I take a look at the sequel - American Ninja 2: The Confrontation!
