Not the best !, Oct 13 2009
For me, the best are the first and second one. In this 4th the actors do not consider in it, it's pity.

Only for martial arts fans, Aug 26 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: American Ninja 4 (VHS Tape)
Obviously, American Ninja films were made for action and, more especially, martial arts fans. I wouldn't go as far as to say the film SUCKED, as a few reviewers put it (reading those reviews, makes me think WHY on earth these people even bother to watch a film like this one). Sure, the film is pure B-series (like all the other parts) and undoubtfully lacks the magic of the first American Ninja with Dudikoff and Steve James. But the martial arts coreography from David Bradley, as one reviewer puts it, is superb, especially the forest scenes and when he fights all the ninjas once he's been captured. However, one change it does make from the first film is a lead actor who can actually fight and is a real martial artist. David Bradley probably can't act, but I wouldn't give Dukikoff an Oscar either. The idea of pairing the two for the film was quite attractive, although i agree with the opinion that it was ridiculous to not even get them together until the last 15 min of the movie. I also have to give other reviewers the comical opinions on the other supporting actors (silly kid, useless sidekick, weird woman) but hey, it's a B-movie.

Amrican Ninja 4 : A Revolution in Cinema, Feb 26 2004
If i was asked to sum up this movie in one word, I think I could.....SUCKY!!! As if it wasn't bad enough that some morons in black jumpsuits can take out a platoon of armed soldiers, the ninja train in garbage!!! They fall off of a balance beam into broken glass???? come on! But seriously the movie would have been much beter if the american ninja went phsyco and killed the nerdy kid and the black side kick guy. If they make another sequal the writer should be strung up. The only reason i gave it 5 stars is because it gave me my new favorite quote...ehem "This isn't a game.....THOSE WERE NINJA!!!!".
