The deadliest art of the Orient is now in the hands of an American.

Joe Armstrong, an orphaned drifter with 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 the base colonel's daughter.

Director Sam Firstenberg stages the numerous action scenes well, but engenders little interest in the non-story.

钻石山 3.00/5.00

看之前我怀疑美国和忍者能有什么联系,没想到编剧编的还挺是那么回事,会忍术的日本二战老兵教了一个美国孤儿,挺合理哈哈

Ridiculous 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.
