Chuck Norris delivers another high-energy low-blow to cinema with this naughty ninja tale.
Plot: Sakura, a childhood friend of Chuck's, runs a user pays terrorist training camp for international militants, the I.R.A, Arab terrorists and the like, teaching them the way of the ninja. When Chuck's gym buddy, A.J, heads for the camp Chuck follows - and confronts Sakura. Action follows.
The first half creeps along as various women try to hook Chuck into doing something about the terrorists. His posturing and moralising is punctuated by action set-pieces, air-punches, and an internal monologue that tries to explain the abysmal plot (presumably an afterthought during the edit). Look out for Chuck's golden, late seventies hair and that creepy blonde moustache. If you can get past the first half, the climax scene is good and has a very solid man-on-fire scene.
Budget: $?
Gross: $18,971,000
Fun Fact: Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) makes an appearance.
