R.I.P. Steve James 🙏🏽💪🏽
"You'll find me at the school" are words I live by. Real talk.
Funny you mentioned that David Bradley claimed that Dudikoff was a diva and wanted to be the main American Ninja...because if that's the case I 100% agree with Dudikoff. As a kid I HATED Bradley...especially when he took 5 mins to meditate while fighting the ninjas on the golf course. 10 year old me was like FUCK this GUY...and then lost my shit when Dudikoff appeared on screen with his iconic scowl. This was peak 90s Saturday afternoon movie block.
Facts, we all wanted to see DUDIKOFF
Lol you're funny.
@kyoki86 i wasn't as familiar with him being only 8 when the 4th came out, but wasn't Bradley the guy who thought he was the shit, could kick anyone's ass, but would always complain how he was overlooked in Hollywood.
i never knew what the truth was, Michael Dudikoff was a lesser known name as well, but everybody atleast remembered him from American Ninja and American Ninja 2.
but from my limited memories of Bladley, i thought his acting was horrible.
Two suggestions: The Sonny Chiba street fighter movies from the 70s and Big trouble in little China!
Steven James passed away 1993 age 41 rip.
Does anyone else remember avenging force with Dudikoff and Steve James it's definitely worth a red eye review
sadly Steve James passed from cancer in the middle of the franchise
Funny review, great work! As a kid i really liked Dudikoff as the American Ninja (especially "The Confrontation" with its sweet music & setting) & James of course.
15:54 Hiring Steve James a.k.a. Curtis Jackson won't be that easy, considering that he died in 1993. But hey, we got CGI Tarkin...so nothing is impossible these days.
Been going through your ninja movie reviews. Love them! Two titles that absolutely need to come at some point, both starring Sho Kosugi (the villain in Enter the Ninja), are Pray for Death (also starring James Booth) and Rage of Honor (the main song freaking slaps).
Oooo these sound great. Added!
There's no Kosugi like Sho Kosugi like no Kosugi I know.
Wait!? NO CURTIS JACKSON?! I'm praying for a badass return in AN5!
I wouldnt be surprised that by the time AN4 was announced, Steve James was maybe already diagnosed with cancer. So maybe he already started the treatment, and therefore he couldnt do the role. Just assuming. Anyway, R.I.P Steve James.
@@sasahuzjak2249 I was just going to comment this.
@@supermetroid009 Nice to know ;) Cheers
RedEye Reacts is one of my favorite segments. As my favorite moment, I was torn between the bullet-dodging ninjas and Dudikoff telling the kids to go outside and find "an example of our environment." I mean, could he be more vague? I think not. :P
Haha thank you so much!
I really don't understand why Dudikoff (all American 80s action hero) wasn't snapped up for The Expendables. Or maybe he was and I just never noticed.
6:01 my arms went into the air in a sign of victory and they stayed up for far too long. That is the greatest NInja scene I ever saw and I completely forgot ALL about it till you showed it again. HELL YES
Right?!
Huge fan bro. These keep getting better and better. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Oh my God the "Thus Spake Zarathustra" music callback to 2001 had me dead.
For real I don't understand how this channel has not just exploded. Any day now the algorithm will put the channel in feeds and dude will have 100k overnight like he damn well deserves.
Aww thank you friend!
Michael Dudikoff made some fun movies. I loved him in the 80s...check out Platoon Leader
I can't believe they made 4 American ninja movies. They should remake these movies
They did. Ninja. Starring Scott Adkins.
They made 5 👌
just found out about your channel, and i immediately subscribed! Speaking of David Bradley you should definitely review one of his best movie *HARD JUSTICE*
I am so glad you found the channel! I have never heard of that movie but you better believe it is now on the list. Thank you!
Yessssssssssssss
Steve James RIP. Nearly as good as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
So close...but so far lol
🤣🤣🤣 you should do the Sho Kosugi ninja flicks.
@@michaelmyers3709 Hell yes! I just googled some of those and for sure those are going on my list
Steve James could easily be Jax in Mortal Kombat
I haven't commented in a while been a little busy so I have to catch up. I'm actually starting to watch part 3 this week. But I do have a Dudikoff movie suggestion for you Soldier Boyz, you'll be in for a one lol
Oooh Soldier Boys?! Never heard of this before. Heck yeah I will add it to the list
6:46 Mulgrew basically has a throne. If anyone deserves a throne, it's him.
06:20 The makers obviously watched a lot of Godfrey Ho movies.
Since you mentioned lack of water and Mad Max
could you watch World Gone Wild (1987/88) with Micheal Pare and Adam Ant?
I'll add it to my list
Excellent request!
No! The part where the world bares all by stripping off its atmosphere will kill us all!
"You'll find me at the school" was interestingly the janitor's catchphrase.
Watching these movies in the early to mid 90s made me believe ninjas were going to be a bigger problem than what they were
😂😂😂
Check out 'Power Rangers Ninja Storm' intro - it's hype af
"You pullin a segal on me? Don't do that" lol
"Scarf Mulgrew is an ex British policeman who was jailed by the British for killing several men under interrogation. he's mad, he's a sadist. He hates the British, but most of all, he hates Americans." I first saw this movie when I was 12, that quote was how I learned what the word sadist meant.
The shaking Michael J Fox line was perfect. Never be ashamed of who you are!!! Lol.
Haha thanks friend
Back in the day you could order those bear claws with the full ninja get up out of the back of black belt magazine. Yeah, I’m one of those nerds. You’re great redeye
Amazing how South Africans were involved in The American Ninja series.That gang leader with the Shotgun is a South African actor.
9:45 those are real Mall Ninja accesories for climbing, "Tekagi-Shuko" or just "Shuko"
Michael Dudikoff did David Bradley a favor. This movie pissed me off as a kid.
Steven James died of cancer like a year after this movie came out BTW.
I know :*(
i got ninja claws from the military surplus store.. yeah, i guess the owner tried to cash on the ninja craze.. they even had full ninja suits there but i couldn't afford it. Theres no way you can climb anything using those dumb claws.
7:00 its funny to see the cameramen in the reflection of the super ninjas eye patch :)))
haha great catch!
Has anyone told him that Steve James (a.k.a. Curtis Jackson) is dead? Just checking.
Yea :'(
13:05 "I get older and they stay the same age, yes they do yes, they do"
Oh gawd thank you redeye! I was scrolling around and want finding anything and seeing this is like a welcome and fun spot to park for a while haha
Wasn’t *
5:58 I thought Ric Flair was about to show up
6:00 Please...tell me they really used that soundtrack for that scene. Please....PLEEEEASE!!!! 🥲🥲🥲
I wish! It played in my head though.
I would love to see a remake of American ninja movies today. Don’t think it’ll do well.
You definitely got better at doing reviews. The voice you use now is almost iconic compared to the drool from two years ago.
Sean beats Mulgrew to death in the end. It's weird seeing a guy in his late 30s (Sean) beat a guy in his early 60s (Mulgrew) to death in a movie. Fun fact, the actor who played Mulgrew also wrote the script for this movie and was one of the script writers for American Ninja 2.
"...Mega-dome death dome, which is just out front"
😭
8:58 the net shirt guy shops at the same clothing store as 'Commando' Freddy Mercury.
I've been binge watching this channel for about two days now. Thanks for the entertainment. 😄
Are you pulling a Seagal on me? Hilarious!!!!
Man I am loving this Channel ! , your commentary is the funniest shit ever!
I'm so glad you like it!!
Ninja III: The Domination (1984)
What's Crazy They want Us to Believe The Sulphur Springs People Can Take Out All The Ninjas, But The Delta Force Couldn't, That Makes No Sense!!!!!
Oh!
Your intro. If you see this. Did you get your name for the channel from Mystery Men?
The "ninjas, ninjas, ninjas" thing reminded me of Hank Azaria calling out the Redeyes lol.
Sorry if not had to ask.
I loved America Ninja as a kid and looking back that dude does look like Chris Rock
I been watching these for the 1st time too. Then see your reviews. This movie was so bad I had to turn it off half way through. Then watched the rest the next day.
Michael Dudikoff looked more than 3 years older. The humor was OK but seeing as this was also filmed in South Africa. Whatever reservations he had from the 3rd one went away.
David Bradley fighting was real crisp. The part where he was just using a mask on his face was good.
There is apart where a ninja is in a red mask but black outfit. So the budget showed there.
They could have made it interesting like Michael Dudakoff could have been the eyepatch superninja that was brainwashed. Then fights David bradley mid movie Then they team up.
But anyways the movie cover was the best of the series. Even though it reminds me of the double impact cover.
I completely agree. David Bradley did a real solid job. And I wish we could have seen more of them fight together. If only Dudikoff didn't get a big head and think he was the best thing since sliced bread.
Ooo if he was the super ninja that would have been a great twist.
Krásný Michael Dudikoff
It’s not a hoard of ninjas, more than one ninja is called a gaggle.
For a split second I thought the guy that went SILENCE was the bad guy from Samurai Cop....That would have been amazing....
Great channel, good review...👏
I'll give them credit - they sprang for a lot of extras in the Mad Max gang and put some effort into their costumes/vehicles.
Credit where credits due. It sorta looks like they just borrowed the wardrobe from another movie set. lol
@@RedEyeReviews They were probably just like "Oh thank God, not more ninja costumes!"
Oh you did do American ninja, right on👍👹
What do you call an American Ninja who has covid? Michael Dude-who-coughs. What do you call an American Ninja who is ticklish? Michael Dudewholaughs... Ok, I'll stop.
Aaayoo!
Wait a minute? Red, blue, yellow and black. Where are green and purple ninjas?! Shame on you movie for not being more inclusive with ninja colors.
Purple shows up in American Ninja 5. Don't worry lol
Mortal Kombat wasn't out yet...was it?
@@ImJustSaijan No, Mortal Kombat came out 4 years later.
Will you do the movie “Cage” with Lou Ferrigno?
Lol..Wait is American Ninja 4 taking place in South Africa?.lol.. didn't know we had ninjas here.
LOL, you should check out Kill or Be Killed. It had a geezer by the name of Steve Chase. There was a even more cheesy follow up called Kill and Kill Again. Definitely worth watch. >_
Steve James died, how do you not know that?
I do Now
@@RedEyeReviews Fair enough. I don't know if his cancer had anything to do with his absence but if there's any justice, I'd like to see Michael Jai White play him in a bio pic or something.
I always felt that American Ninja 4 was just left over footage from American Ninja 2 and 3.
Curtis was ill and would of been filming number 2 maybe in pain... Rest in peace 🙏
How did James Booth go from Zulu to Cannon ninja movies? He even wrote Pray for Death.
Fun Fact: David Bradley resented being rescued in this movie.
I realize these Ninja training camps look like ISIS training camps. Like I swear I saw ISIS guys leaping over short stone walls that were on fire.
Ninfestation! Great job, Red-Eye!
You make my life better 👍
This is a strange series. Dunno how this became a game show.
Joe really phoned it in on this one.
First 1 is always the best. 2nd is good. 3rd and 4th are not canon. 5th one is garbage.
Wow so much colourful Ninjas 😶😱😍
Isn't the black agent the same executive from Robocop? hanging around with Miquel Ferrer in that one?
He looks nothing like that guy lmao we really all do look alike to ya'll huh hahaha
@@enterthecringe7552 lol....from the brief clip I saw (while watching at work and with a shoddy memory from films I haven't viewed in over 20 yrs.....yeah I made a bad comparison.). Wasn't meaning to be racist or anything. Apologies. they definitely aren't the same guy as you correctly point out.
@@foxmolnar6258 it's all good man. I wasn't trying to pull you through the ringer or anything or make a point, it was just kinda funny. I knew it was all love on your part too. I don't think you're racist! lol much love!
@@enterthecringe7552 Thanks bud. on the positive side this review led me to watch Robocop last week....lol. Take care and hopefully we run into a review we can discuss down the road.
Steve James died in 1993 bro
I thought it was Chris rock too. I guess they do all look alike.
I thinking stopped watching the ninjas movies after the 2nd one lol did not even know they had a 4th. lol
I'll tell you what gets better than water ninjas ... water ZOMBIE ninjas
Hippie bus..!!!! 😂😂😂
So many ninjas. They need to find some natural predators for that infestation of black suits. Tom Cruise maybe?
Haha why is there glass on this ladder obstacle?
not gonna lie, I kind of liked that eyepatch boss death 😂
Sounds like Hanoi
14:59 😂😂🤣🤣
I so not remember more than the first 2 movies
need some more dark redeye jokes
like 8/1/15 Carini dark
Blackburn shadow was here Hillary Nagasaki d.m.v.
I wonder if the American ninja series felt the need to include Muslims as a joke because only Muslim countries have ninjas.
Thats to violent Hostel franchise facebook
From the second one, it just keeps getting worse.
