American Ninja

American Ninja is a 1985 film produced by Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus's Cannon Films. Like most other films produced by that studio, American Ninja was a low-budget action film. It stars Michael Dudikoff in the title role, with Steve James as the black side-kick in the first three movies, and it was directed by Sam Firstenberg, who specialized in this genre in the 80s. The film grossed $10,499,694 at the domestic box office, spawning a competently-made but less successful sequel, American Ninja 2: The Confrontation in 1987. Three more commercially and critically unsuccessful sequels would follow with another lead actor, David Bradley. Dudikoff returned for a short cameo role in the fourth film in this franchise. The fifth and final film in the American Ninja franchise disregarded the series continuity and was a direct-to-video release.
