Joe Armstrong, an orphaned drifter will little respect for much other than martial arts, finds himself on an American Army base in The Philippines after a judge gives him a choice of enlistment or prison. On one of his first missions driving a convoy, his platoon is attacked by a group of rebels who try to steal the weapons the platoon is transporting and kidnap Patricia, the base colonel's daughter, who happens to be along for the ride. Joe rescues Patricia and gets her safely back to the base, but everyone else in the platoon is killed, leading his superiors to conclude that Joe is guilty of cowardice, collaboration or simple incompetence. At the same time, the rebel leader vows revenge against the serviceman who disrupted his plans, and sends an army of ninjas to assassinate him and bring back Patricia. If he wants to survive and save the girl, Joe's going to have to draw on every last ounce of his training.

| Washington PostRichard HarringtonRidiculous scripting and frequently comical budget limitations make this film a mostly awful trip to Bruce Lee Land, though the fight scenes, choreographed by Mike Stone, a karate champion and former partner of Chuck Norris, are spectacular and not as silly as the usual Hong Kong product. For fans of the genre only. |

| User ReviewMatthew GA cult classic. This movie has tons of action and a good story. |
| User ReviewRichard Honly gets a 5 'cos it's a childhood favorite. love this movie. |
| User ReviewMike DIt's like watching G.I.JOE with real people. And I'm totally biased so I shouldn't even be rating this. I've had an insane love for this movie since 1985. Ninjas are just so fucking cool! And this one has red, blue and yellow ninjas training in their secret base. Pure awesomeness! And what other movie could you see a ninja blow up a potted plant with a laser fired out of his glove? That alone earns five stars. |
