There is as much story in "American ninja 2" as in a porn movie . The story is simple – bad guy wants to conquer the world with his army of ninjas . Michael Dudikoff and Steve James must stop him. That's it. It makes the first movie look like "Chinatown" by comparison. At least there was some attempt at story there.The non-fight scenes are short , too short . "AN2" quickly becomes a marathon of non stop fights . If you're in a mood for action movie with lot of action and little of story , this one is for you. For me it was too mind numbing .I've enjoyed the first one for it's trash quality . It was cheesy and full of mistakes , but enjoyable . This sequel lacks the charm of original . The love story was much more believable in the first one. Here it seems like "let's put some romance , because people like it".Michael Dudikoff is in it (he will appear once more in the forth movie). The music is nice , but overused. The chase scene with car and ninja is pure comedy gold. There are some moments that will make you laugh .I give it 2/10 . Still , it's better than third one and the rest of sequels.

This to me is the best out of American Ninja series movies. The story flows much better than the first movie, and everything is better integrated in this movie than the first installment.Another great thing about this movie is that the scenery is beautiful. This really added to its atmosphere.Michael Dudikoff and Steven Jones looked great in the Marine's uniform, and the cast of girls they collected (even as extras) were notches above the other movies from this series.If there's one American Ninja series movie to watch, this one is highly recommended.

Ninja's are elusive, tricky and often found in the middle of nowhere. Michael Dudikoff and Steve James reprise their roles as ninja exterminators in this classic sequel to one of the best black masked franchise's of all times. There's a comfy tropical island with a military base mainly guarded by Marines, but since they keep going missing the United States Government went ahead and employed the best tag team of ninja sweepers out there. You should know what to expect by now, hidden ninja fortress's, super evil bosses, high eyebrows. Watching the Koff and Steve James snuff out the enemy has all the rock and roll you might imagine. There's a scene in the beginning where the duo are being set up, an attack ensues. The Koff is catching arrows and throwing them back, block and punch combos are thrown, and in one scene he brakes a stick in half and throws part of it like a disc at a cliff ninja who folds like a sun chair and falls to his doom. It's action like this that makes the series magical, i only wish they could have kept Dudikoff and James in all of them. Great sequel, great flicks, R.I.P Steve James.

to me,this sequel had a more developed plot line than the first movie.it a fairly preposterous one,but it is semblance of a story nonetheless.and besides,reality doesn't necessarily factor into these movies in a big way,so that's not surprising.there are many more fight sequences in this one as well.and to me,the fight scenes seemed better executed,much more exciting.the acting is no better or worse than in the first one.i actually think as a whole the movie is slightly better due to the improved fight sequences.again you just have to remember that it's not high art you're in for when you sit down to view this film,or it's prequel/sequels.it basically a disposable(but enjoyable)ninety +/-minutes.for me,American Ninja 2: The Confrontation is an 8/10
