Scene of the Week: Beach Brawl
On May 1, 1987… the wait was finally over, Michael Dudikoff was back as the “American Ninja” Joe Armstrong in American Ninja 2: The Confrontation!
Considered by many fans of the franchise to be a superior movie to the original, American Ninja 2: The Confrontation was an example of Cannon at their very best. The sequel continued the adventures of Armstrong and his BFF Curtis Jackson (Steve James) as the duo investigated the disappearances of United States Marines on a remote Caribbean Island.
In this week’s Scene of the Week, Joe Armstrong, Curtis Jackson and their new Marine buddies are looking for some fun in the sun, but instead they get some trouble in paradise when their day at the beach turns into a beach brawl with ninjas! This scene packs a lot of Cannon awesomeness in just under six minutes as a Body Glove wetsuit clad Michael Dudikoff and a shirtless Steve James fight for the lives while the musical styling of George S. Clinton plays. Watch all the way to the end to witness an over the top (or in this case over the edge) escape you could only find in a Cannon film.
