Oh, man, I just caught...

...the tail end of American Ninja 5.


  I'm pretty sure there was a lot of awesome badness on display, especially since the ninjas in the movie were more than likely Venezuelan walk-ons in ninja outfits.






I'm pretty sure 1993 was a difficult time for Pat Morita in regards to finding work since the Karate Kid franchise went out with a loud thud. He seems to be moving slowly in the one scene I was able to catch him in at the end. I had went to get the kids some pizza and forgot about this being on Encore Action. Yes, I had actually planned on watching this.

It is kind of a double edge sword, Morita gains rightful fame for his Mr. Miyagi, yet the typecasting would place him in a difficult position. David Bradley was in American Ninja III causing Marjoe Gortner to piss his pants (check out the very end, the ass of his pants is wet; sorry, irresistible stupid joke) and opposite Dudikoff in American Ninja IV, shining examples of bad extras in ninja costumes totally designed to jump into a scene only seconds later kicked or flipped into oblivion.
