Have you seen my childhood?

I certainly did. These few days of reading CHUD has really brought a tear to my eye. They are reviewing DVDs of my fave childhood movies. When you are hyperactive boy growing, B-grade ninja flicks are a prequiste, sorta like a rite of passage.



When I saw the review of American Ninja 4 and 5, I was overwhelmed by a sense of nostalgia. Dun fucken laugh. Perhaps, other than Max, I'm the only one who can remember that Michael Dudikoff was the lead in the 1st American Ninja flick. Yeshhh, I watched all of them, except for the 5th one. I was that hardcore to the core.

It fucken kick ass man...


Ah... the infamous water bucket scene.


One thing I never got as a kid was: why the baddie's mask reveal his nose while all the rest of the ninjas had their noses hidden under the mask. Why? Why?!? This question is still burning me up inside after all these years!!!

Here's the plot summary:

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.

Who the fuck are we kidding? What plot?

I should get my grubby hands on this. Hmmmm. I saw the Masters Of The Universe DVD a few years back at Gramophone. Yeshhh, Dolph "I got my ass whooped by Rocky" Lungren as He-Man. I didn't get it cause I didn't have a DVD player back then. Goddamn! I think I will go search for it!



You know you should get it cuz it starred a pre-fame Courtney Coz. Yessshhh, even before Misfits of Science.
