The Action Addicts

Ep89 - American Ninja 2 (1987) with Angel G Brophy


Listen Later

This week on Action Addicts, we’re diving head-first into one of the wildest, most gloriously unhinged entries in the Cannon Films canon: American Ninja 2: The Confrontation. Michael Dudikoff and Steve James return as Armstrong and Jackson, the coolest duo to ever punch their way through an island full of ninjas. We’re talking shadowy crime lords, genetically engineered super-ninjas, beach-bar brawls, shirtless heroics, and that unmistakable Cannon energy that feels like action movie comfort food.

We unpack the film’s over-the-top plot, the unmatched chemistry between Dudikoff and James, the escalation from straightforward martial arts to full-on comic-book sci-fi madness, and why this sequel has become a cult favourite for fans who want their action bold, bonkers, and blissfully sincere. Expect talk of weapon-clashing set-pieces, 80s charm, and the simple joy of watching Jackson wipe the floor with entire rooms of bad guys.


We also go incredibly off topic so bare with us...
