and 2B I just pulled the trigger and added MGM Plus to my prime account so look like there's a lot of good movies on the action movies so I'll have to put it to some use.

It's directed by Sam Furstenberg written by James Booth and the stars the great Michael Dutnikoff as Captain Matt Hunter All right really quick I first of all I never seen this movie I was doing some research And listening to other reviews

And they said this was supposed to be Invasion USA 2 Yeah Chuck Norris passed on it And then I think it was Israel When this came out They called it American Ninja 2 and then all the other American Ninja movies they kept changing the

titles and everything so American Ninja 2 for us was American Ninja 3 over there so and I was it was crazy I guess um they wanted Chuck Norris to be American ninja but he said that he wouldn't do it because he didn't want to his face covered the whole time but i mean michael dutnikoff man we had a mask on what once maybe twice if that uh so but chuck norris had other movies uh planned for him especially in the 80s he he was he was killing it in the 80s but also kung fu joe steve james teacher teacher that's leary richards um john p ryan has Professor Elliott

Glastonbury. For those you that... He was a teacher from when we did a class of 1999. He was in that? He was the teacher that spanked the shit out that kid.

That's right. And for those of you that did listen to Eastside's 31 Days of Horror, he was in two of the It's Alive movies. Oh man. Yeah, I think I told you.

I'm going to pull the trigger and buy that box set. Also, this stars James Booth, is Adam Brown, or as, I guess, Admin Brown, I don't know. Mark Alamo, I think that's his name, and a bunch of other people in this. But, Brian, when was the first time you had seen Avenging Force? The first time I seen this was when I was a kid, and I had. seen it since then this this is basically if feels like a first time watch because i only remember bits and pieces mostly i remember michael dutnikov in it i probably thought this was an american ninja movie when i was a kid because it had him and uh steve a steve james and uh not

not my favorite of michael dutikov it's cool and everything there there's some love moments and the the Fighting isn't up to par with what you see from him in American Ninja, but it's cool to see him in there doing things and teaming up with Steve James again. Steve James always finds a way to take off his shirt in his fight scenes. But I will say the villains in this are top notch because they make, they make sure you hate these people. Like I said, I had never seen this before. I remember seeing it on the shells at the video store.

I mean, pretty much next to all the American Ninja movies. And Michael Dutnikov, yeah, he and All-Star, as well as Steve Jones. So I was like, okay, let's do it. We got to give what the listeners want. So it was on Tubey as well, but I just didn't feel like sitting through ads. I usually don't care, but. I did look on MGM plus I was like I said man there's a lot of other good movies on here

so it was only like a couple more dollars so I said all right so I why not throw it on there but I assume there's not a widescreen version of this film because it was a little square yeah I don't even think there's a Blu-ray of this unless it was DVD I don't

no no no there is that uh is it canola lober or whatever go cano lober yeah i think they put one out i think i could be wrong um so yeah i mean i watched the movie and i was like all right i mean it was what it was i mean it had its action and cheesiness and i mean mid-80s you can't go wrong and of course canon when you see that logo in the beginning you know shit's about to get real and it got really real in this movie because Canon don't give a fuck and just

everybody and anybody will get it. I was like, God damn, what kind of movie is this? Yeah, other than Michael Dutnikoff, the only other thing I remember was the scene where he has the kid and they fall off

the roof. Oh, we'll get to that. I was like, damn. mean these 80s 80s is the best that that's my childhood um but i was like do they just go into the uh the wardrobe and just ah this looks cool this looks cool here throw this on because i was like what are these guys wearing i mean the what's his name what is marty graham mask is uh we had the the gimp yeah the gimp yeah the gimp and

some ninja with a kabuki mask on and the other guy, no, he's just like a hat and a little scarf over his face. They didn't have enough wardrobe for him. I guess not. They say, hey man, just wear what you got at home and show up on the set. But that crazy Mardi Gras mask, I was like, really? What's happening here? Shout out to his stunt devil. with the obvious wig on at the end oh man that took me out i mean this movie i mean it's quick and to the point

it's it's what it was barely hour and 40 something minutes um and yeah i mean at the beginning of the film really kind of don't know what's going on we see these guys running through the bayou for their lives and then here comes the ninja guy with the kabuki mask and his katana sword and at this point we don't know why these guys are being chased so and they end up catching these two guys and killing them and yeah we still don't know like well what's going on here this kind of reminded me of um what was that movie with iced tea when they were hunting oh surviving the game we did that didn't we we need we need to did it uh we might have did it for horror returns i think you came on yeah i don't i don't remember we've done so many different movies

let's get that spreadsheet done yeah i don't i don't remember half the stuff we did so yeah so these guys are running through the the bayou and they're obviously hurt because they're bleeding and beat up and we start to see all these different characters uh the guy with a little jungle hat and a little camouflage scarf over his face and the ninja guy and the guys that are running for their lives they kind of just like stopped because one of them's really hurt and then the dude with the camouflage scarf comes jumping out and starts beating the hell out of them and he flips over that guy for no reason yeah that's the way you make an entrance man you know just don't just come in you got to come in with some style and do a a ninja flip over

those two they beat him up really quick and then they start hauling ass running through the bayou then here comes the gimp he shows up and like i said these guys just grabbed anything and and everything they could because i don't know what kind of weapon he had well he looks like he should be out of Mad Max. Yeah, he should be either on a motorcycle or riding on the back of someone's car

or or um no, we haven't done that movie yet so I'll hold off on that one. Any of the crazy post-apocalyptic 80s films that they made a billion

of. I mean, everything had to do with nuclear war in the 80s. and yeah you'll picture this guy hooting and hollering he's got a little gimp mask on um some kind of leather bondage uh gear he's shirtless and he's got these things on his arms i don't know some kind of arm guards and and then he got some i don't know some crazy weapon that looks like a spear but opens up and it's got two little blades and

I don't know obviously they hear this looks good put this on and go out there and start fighting and for these guys again we don't know who they are at this point but there's supposedly some crazy special

killing force and these guys can't fight for shit I mean no they can't these are like those guys that just get hyped up and pumped up think they can go out and hunt people so obviously these other two dudes

that they're chasing they pick the good the good prey so so these guys are probably ex-military or something and this is why they choose them

to be a part of this game I mean at this point we don't know why but later we find out that these people are are forced into this and these guys are just rich white ring nut jobs that uh just do it for the killing and all of that so yeah that gimp guy kills uh the first dude and kind of gets him up against a tree and it stabs them and then here comes this other dude with the crazy eyes wide shut mask he's hiding in a tree smoking his pipe and the other guy got away and he goes he's running and then

he jumps out of the tree and starts chasing him and this is all during the day it's like nice and sunny and you can't really hide anywhere so he kind of runs up and he sees uh something off in the distance some kind of like uh civilization type things kind of a factory or something yeah and he sees rows in cars so he goes running or trying to get to it but then all of a sudden and here comes the the Mardi Gras dude. He springs out of the water, has a

I don't know, wire or something, wraps it around that guy's neck and then starts choking him. But then he starts screaming some crazy yell. I'm like, what the hell's going on?

So it kind of signals all the other guys that, yeah i got the last dude and he's dead and whatever these did they like bet on one another i think they i think they were bidding i think i remember something about 50,000 uh yeah yeah that he's telling him but yeah you guys owe me 50,000 um the main guy who you guys he's been in a ton of movies so you know who he is and then there's the

gimp or no the the ninja guy he's another dude that's been in a ton of things he's always a bad guy um I think he's James Booth he's been in all kinds of stuff

is that him? Let me see no no no no um Mark is that Almino he plays Charlie Laval Mark Alamino he's been in all kinds of things

Total Recall Tango and Cash and other crazy A lot of TV shows and Best of the 80s I mean if you guys see his face and you know he is you go okay I've seen this guy in something so yeah so these guys are like yeah

cool evil is punished or whatever and then we're introduced to Michael Dutnikoff Captain Matt Hunter he lives out in the country somewhere on his his family's ranch him and his sister and his grandfather so I don't know if they ever mentioned like what happened to his family I mean there was a lot of in between the action stuff trying to I guess character development I think they said

they were murdered yeah probably by someone so but yeah his sister Sarah she's what 12 maybe yeah

was her voice ADR the whole time I think so I don't think it was hers um he had that badass GMC truck though yeah we'll get to that later on when they spring it in action

so they're on their way to I guess New Orleans where he meets up with Kung Fu Joe and his family what was Kung Fu's name Larry Richards yeah his kid one of his kids is dribbling a soccer ball and the other one's playing football by himself yeah like they told kids do something when we say action yeah and uh put your uh karate geese on for what who knows

well obviously they were training kung fu joe larry richards he's running for uh the u.s senate so i mean these guys obviously uh war buddies or ninja buddies um so they're they go there and they're going to hang out with him they're going to go on the onto a float Martie Grah. They do, I mean, before they go, I mean, he's only Kung Fu Joe Amai's. He is, they're talking about

there's people that are threatening them. Yeah, the pentangle. Yeah, the basically you're not white, you're black, and some other choice words we won't say.

Yeah, there's a, there's a lot of it in this movie yeah there was so basically telling them that you're black and you can't run for Senate so man there's a lot of Yahoo's out there today's that still think this way

so but he's like eff it you know what I'm Kung Fu Joe I don't give a fuck I'm still gonna do it and fuck them we're we're gonna win this race that's exactly how he said it too yeah so they get to the Mardi Gras. Everyone's having a good time.

Have you ever been to Mardi Gras? I've never been to New Louisiana. Me neither. We've got to talk to Lance. About that. It seems like he goes every year. And anyway, so everyone's having a good time. What's his name? Larry Jones. Is that what I said? Steve James. Oh, yeah.

Larry Richards? Yeah. He is What's going on in my internet? He's on the float Him, his wife, and his two sons Matt, he is on the float behind him

With his dad and his sister And they're throwing beads and Wait, this is grandfather. Oh, his grandfather. Yeah. Waving to the crowd and everything. But his ninja senses must be tingling because he's really looking around and just kind of well he knows that there's people

after him and that don't want um uh i don't want larry to run for senate so and larry's not really paying attention he's clearly looking at these two guys that aren't even playing the instruments yeah because we get uh two ladies with strollers they kind of roll up and they're like right in the front and they're screaming and having a good time and then some little Mardi Gras band stands in front of them and yeah they're just there I mean you can clearly see that they're dancing around holding their instruments but you could see that they're not playing so Matt he sees the guys because he notices like they're there and dancing but they're not really playing

he tells his dad like hey man keep an eye or his dad his grandpa keep an eye on sarah i'm gonna go up to the front of the float so he goes up and then we see that the the band guys they're kind of really looking and looking suspicious matt sees them uh doing what they're doing and then all of a sudden they uh whoa excuse me they uh pull out their weapons there's a little oozy's and they're not oozy's those little Mac 10s or whatever they pull them out out of the strollers and then they just start to open

fire on the float Larry he grabs his family and kind of pushes his wife and one of his sons he's got two sons one of them get shot

I mean good little actor because he sells it really good he falls back the one he uses as a shield Yeah There's a lot of stunt action during this scene Because these guys are just firing in every direction And people in the background are getting hit

Guys are falling off balconies Because they get shot They even shoot the tractor driver That's pulling all the floats Larry and Matt They kind of spring into action They're just really trying to get Larry's family

out of the way. I mean, just trying to hide them. Then there's another guy. Some guy in like a crazy little hat. He is up in the balcony watching them. While all these band guys are just opening fire on everybody. Cops are coming. Security guards are coming. They're all

getting shot. Are you talking about the guy that looks like he's does someone's accounting? Yeah. Matt springs into action. He starts kicking ass. Larry also kung fu joe he springs into action he starts whooping ass as well i don't know how he's kicking

ass in this tight ass suit uh that he's wearing like not tight tight tight as in tight looking as in tight fitting uh both of them matt is out there and his uh cowboy boots his cowboy boots and tight wranglers and he's kicking ass as well and his little sports coat stealing guns away from these guys and shooting them uh kung fu joe is beating that hell out of the other guys one of the dudes uh the assassins he gets on he steals a police motorcycle and he starts hauling ass

towards him but then Matt blasts him good stunt though he shoots him twice in a chest and then he errs I don't know steps on the break for some reason and he flips over the handlebars so that accounting guy he's up on the roof he's shooting at them

and just pulling the trigger not even aiming so Matt he returns fire Kung Fu Jo goes running over Matt jumps up onto the floor climbs up onto the roof and starts chasing him they kind of have a little shootout but nothing

really but that that guy in the little hat he kind of gets away so but Larry is back down on the ground and he sees his son his son the one that got shot he

doesn't make it so he ends up dying right there on the street so the mom and uh larry are just like man and the other son they're kind of like uh well we need to do something so now that the these guys know that the people that are threatened them mean business they're kind of like oh man well let let's get out of here so but the the dude that was running with the hat on an accountant looking guy he he escapes and then he calls whoever the higher-ups that they didn't get the job done

and then we get a scene this reminds me of all this shit that these Yahoo's today are all the propaganda nonsense that they're spewing all right-wing idiots um

these guys they're what do you call these um I don't know fighters with uh kendo sticks i don't know but it's really strange

there are all this america pro america this but they're doing the exhibition with japanese culture yeah see these guys don't know what they can't keep make up their minds

on the shit that they like so um and these are the dudes that are doing the exhibition they're a part of the pantangle killers that we saw earlier. It's the guy with the bandana and the gimp. Yeah.

So the leader of the well, I don't think, I think he's the leader of this group. I don't know, he's not the leader of the, the whole organization. Because it seemed like this organization was much, much bigger. Yeah, this is like a chapter, like the New Orleans,

Louisiana chapter. or something. Yeah, this is Professor Elliot Glastonbury. Marty girl mask. Yeah, he goes into this whole fucking just

crazy hatred. If you're not white, you don't belong in America type of speech. Because, I mean, a lot of the stuff he was saying, man, is like what these Yahoo's are saying today here. Like, there's all

these immigrants coming over the border and doing this and the blacks are destroying the neighborhood with drugs and all this other shit he was spewing this is the part that's like like i said i've never seen this before this is the part that made me mad because i'm like these obviously these guys will still think i mean these people today think were thinking this way back then but they were they were quiet about it now today for some reason we all know why it's just giving these idiots a voice

and they're all just spewing with all the shit that they want but yeah this guy they start saying all kinds of shit basically let's let's make the the white race pure and kick out everyone that's not white

out of the country he says all kinds of the shit but that's basically what he's saying yeah he uses words yeah we can't use on here. Yeah. And he gets everyone all charged up and they start doing some

kind of yo, yo, or whatever and they're pumping their fists. They're basically doing a Nazi sign. Yeah. Like a version of it. Yeah. Holy kid punching their fists in their right hand in the air. Instead of doing the salute, they're just pumping their

fists, but we all know what they're doing. So we're in the hospital they do find out um yeah his his son didn't make it uh your wife's all right she's they're just checking her over and the other son is just sad that his brother's uh gone so they decide to uh you know what

we need to get out of Dodge because they go back to uh Larry's house and it is no N-words in city hall there's swastkas painted on the house and everything and I'm like damn and again I mean this this shit still happens today this was 86 and I'm sure it was going on way before this this 2025 and we see this all over the place man so um Matt he's kind of like you know what um we're gonna get out of here i'm gonna call my uh i get was it were they CIA is that what they were yeah he's like retired but he still has connections so he made a phone call and you know

where they got to say like the code words and numbers yeah then they patched them through and they were already investigating the pantangle they already had information on them yeah and they wanted matt to go undercover uh into the organization but he's like hell no i ain't going in there so but they do kind of he kind of they come up with the idea you know what um we didn't get uh larry and his family and we're going to go out to our uh our farmhouse out in the country so they're kind of like all right so they load up and they pack up the family but they give them uh some secret service detail look man these guys are going to come with you and hopefully everybody will be all right

back at the pentangle they realize that yeah that look man we we got to get them we got to get the the black guy and they had pictures oh no the guy with that the hat he was taking pictures of all the action at the parade and they find out who matt is so yeah i think they said they've been keeping an eye on him yeah they wanted to recruit him yeah he was um they were they they got their

their government information so obviously there's someone in there but we never say but they yeah they the guy that was there in the hat he does tell them look like this guy was doing this and for some i don't know who was taking pictures he got all these action poses of

of matt so they're like all right man we're gonna we're gonna get this guy and he's gonna be our next uh game so they're like all right but they're all right we're gonna go out there we're gonna find him and then we're gonna kill everyone else so they move back or they go out to the to the farmhouse and uh no no no before they get to the farmhouse yeah you skipped over the the truck scene yeah um they're getting ready to go they uh get um larry's family in a helicopter and they they basically fly them to the ranch and uh we'll be we'll be but we'll be we'll be there shortly so and this is all fresh from the parade because uh larry still has blood uh on his clothes and

everything he just gets down to a tank tie Yeah. So they're like, all right, they're gearing up for war. So they get in Matt's fresh-ass truck, and they're hauling ass down the road, and they're getting ready for action. Oh, excuse me. So they kind of go, I assume, to the area where they think or were they just driving around, hoping that these guys will come find them. Because they end up going, I don't know, some seedy part of it. town and then these uh they kind of get boxed in by a school bus and two other cars and a garbage truck yeah it kind of shows you how connected these guys are yeah using like city vehicles to

like barricade them in and the the dude with the hat well he doesn't have his hat anymore he he shows up and he's all smiles and he's got carloads of uh goons with them so they start shooting at them so they're like get on and he's like hold on he fucking rah throws it in reverse and this is when the awesome truck scene comes into play uh i love these old trucks let's say i mean don't get me wrong i love my truck now but these old ass 80s trucks these lifted trucks that fucking drive over everything as uh they get into a car chase they're chasing after the truck and there's

two cars and I guess that bus but I don't know but they're wherever they are they're in some backside old beat-up neighborhood in the like the industrial area of her and for some reason there's all these

construction workers out there digging holes and everything so everyone's chasing after the truck Kung Fu Joe Larry, yeah, he got down to his wife beater so he can show those muscles. And yeah,

they're hauling ass down the road in that truck. And this is a lifted truck, man. These is one of those ones, man. You can just serve hella hard. No seatbelts, nothing. Well, I think these were during the lap the lap seatbelt days. But yeah, man, he's fucking flooring that truck

hauling ass down the road. There's one of those bridges, those draw bridges. a boat was coming so the guy starts to lift up the bridge and then they're like fucking wah and just haul ass onto the bridge

as it starts going up and then they fucking just jump that truck um that that fucking I'm watching this that shit's gone man those fucking axles would have snapped and everything but he makes the jump those other two cars go flying

uh jumping it as well they look like they pop their tires and crash and everything but uh yeah they cut to another scene with brand new cars yeah they're all it has down the road they get to some kind of uh i don't know like an old shipyard or something so they're hauling ass through there and those guys are chasing them and then they kind of stop and then everyone gets out with their guns and they're like all right come on let's get them so larry and matt jump out of their truck and they start climbing up onto one of those old

there's like an old abandoned ship yard type of thing all rusty and everything man stab yourself or slice yourself on something you're going to need tetanus shots so and they don't have any weapons there's just the only weapons they got are their fists and their feet

so they're running around those guys I mean, they basically lured them there so they can take them out. So these guys, none of these guys can shoot. I mean, they're just firing their weapons, pistols and shotguns and just not even doing any kind of damage. And a couple of guys have some little automatic rifles. So Matt and Larry are just kind of just running and hiding. And these guys with the guns are looking after him. So, Larry is the first one that springs into action.

Yeah, curse, of course. The shirt comes off. He comes swinging. It has to come off. He comes with shit. If I look like that, I didn't wear no shirt either. He comes in, swinging in on the rope, and he swings into action, starts kicking ass, hand to hand, flying the fist, back hands, kicks, takes out the first two.

dudes another guy comes running up shooting at him uh matt he's running up the bullet he did matt's running around up top and he's trying to hide from these guys there's guys walking around machine guns and he's creeping around uh behind things uh there's some guys that are up really high and uh he climbs up there i don't know how you can be quiet in them boots especially on steel so they see him and they start shooting at him he starts running and doing ninja roles and some jim kata moves on on some stuff have we ever we haven't done that yet have we no what we need to ah jim kata anyway we'll get to that eventually so uh they get up to the the very very well the guys with the guns to get up to the very top

um um uh the jelary's up there so he don't know how he got up there so quick but he got up there yeah he was like down on the bottom floor so he springs into action kicks the gun out of that guy's hand starts whooping his ass

uh matt climbs up to the top as well and there's another dude up there that obviously can't hear uh standing there with a machine gun or much less he don't even sense uh that matt's right behind him and Matt's got

a steel pipe and boom knocks the gun out of his hand hits him in the gut Larry's still whooping ass on the roof beating the shit out of this guy and he drops him

and then Matt is up there still fighting with the dude hits him in the pipe he falls down kicks him in the side and ah he falls off does the classic leg folded back on the ground pose

so that guy's dead uh they see each other both give each other the thumbs up so they point out that there's another dude climbing up so matt goes and he goes after him larry goes to look for uh someone else to beat up this guy comes up with uh with his little machine gun he's looking around he gets to the top of the roof doesn't see anybody except for the dude um no no no yeah he sees the guy that fell with a crazy leg all bent up. Matt sees one of the dudes that's like way up top. He goes up there to try to get him.

The guy that came up onto the platform walks over to one of his buddies that are laying there dead. He goes up to try and like, I don't know, just maybe if he had a, see if he had a pulse. But then Larry, he's like hiding under the platform. He reaches up, grabs that guy, pulls him off, and he, ah! I don't know how far of a drop that is, but he falls into the water. I'd rather be that guy, because I'm sure he's not dead. He probably just swam away. But Matt crawls way up, I don't know, what's the big crane or something?

He crawls up to the top, makes a little noise with his belt. The guy sticks his head down, and Matt wraps his belt around his neck and broke his neck. neck somehow so that guy's dead uh larry kind of climbs back up to the platform and he sees that there's somebody uh climbing up the the little scaffold trying to get matt so he runs over there to uh try to distract him and he yells out hey matt and then he finds a little uh little sub machine gun he fires at the dude uh that's close to matt but that guy spins around he has a shotgun and he fires and hits

Larry in the arm. I don't know how he shot him with a shotgun from that distance. Oh no man. It would have been that thing just spreads. He might have got hit by a pellet or two, but no, not this. So

Larry kind of falls down. Matt springs into action. He grabs a rope. No, he puts his belt over this cable and then it just kind of ninja slides into it and boots that guy with the shotgun in the face and then he goes falling off uh the scaffold and lands on a mat because we see it flip up into into frame so uh matt goes rushing over to to larry and he uh he took a little shot

uh to the arm but he was ah i'm all right uh let's uh get back to work the dude that uh the little accountant guy he's like the last man standing so why did they leave him alive because mad just like is like yelling stuff at him and he's like shooting random shots at the ground and in the air well he basically tells him like look man you better go tell your your bosses that they ain't shit and to uh leave us alone or uh what he say they'll be biting off more than they can chew and the

accountant guys is he's yelling at them basically tell them to fuck off we're going to come get you later and he says you and your negro friend the other guys was using the other word with a hard

R or so so Matt's just like yeah he's just firing at the ground just basically scaring them but Larry's telling him like look Matt man you you don't need to be getting involved in this

basically it's too late bro you're my buddy this is my fight too so they go back to Larry's uh Matt's Ranch

Secret Service is there Grandpa's there basically everyone's all right we're all here so let's live our lives and kind of get some nice scenes of them riding horses and living their lives out on the farm.

Matt is telling his sister, Sarah, is like, look, man, me and your uncle, we need to go away for a while, so just stay here with Grandpa and Larry's family and you guys got protection here, so you guys will be okay. We go back to the Pantangle crew and that accountant guy's telling them, that they got away and he's telling he's telling them like look man those guys are telling me to tell you guys you guys need to lay off and uh get get out of here but he's not having it the the main guy they're all kind of like ah well fuck them man we'll get them but the little accounting dudes all scared so but they know who they are you know obviously they know who

who Larry is and they know who Matt is so all right now we just need to find find them and then we can do our business so

who does who takes these pictures for them because they're looking at pictures of Matt and it is clearly Michael Duda calls head shots

that his agent had or something I don't know I assume they knew someone from in some someone in the government that they had all these

headshot pictures, these modeling pictures of him. The little accountant dude he's like because they're like what's that guy's name Glastonbury the main guy,

the Mardi Gras, eyes wide shut mask dude. He pulls out his gun and he's like loading it. And the other guy's kind of like dude, come on, just this is,

Give me a break. Don't do it. And then he's like, hell no. So he blasts her little accountant dude. He shoots him in the stomach and then he falls down and he's crying. And they're like, all right. He's dead. So fuck him.

Let's go. So we're back at the barn. The farm. Matt and Larry are kind of like, all right, man. We're going to gear up and go. um how did they know where he was i mean i just again i just must assume somebody on the inside is given the the pantango guy's info yeah because like i said they mentioned that they've been watching him for a while because they wanted to recruit matt so i'm assuming they had like

his location and everything so gladdenberry and his crew the gimp the ninja and the other dude they're um they don't have all their get-up on they got their little army green fatigues on their their black beanie's uh like those ski masks so they're kind of like all right man they they kind of scooped out the place they got night vision so they could see so uh grandpa's in in the kitchen playing cards with everyone so these guys are kind of all right man they're gonna kind of

just hang out and then the uh pantangle guys are outside and one of them's got a crossbow and shoots one of the secret service guys in the neck so he's dead

I was just trying to eat some soup yeah uh one of the other dudes one of the bad guys breaks out like a little rocket launcher it shoots in a little a little bomb into the house and

that blows up another guy's throwing maltoff cock the hells in the house uh matt kind of springs into action uh one of the other dudes he goes up to the house he's got a bag uh gas can and he starts dumping in gas uh into the house he lice that up another dude throws a grenade in that blows up matt and sarah upstairs and sarah's screaming so matt goes to grab her to help her out i'm like why was her door locked well i guess maybe he told her to lock it so he breaks in there because uh one of one of them threw a ball or a maltop cocktail in her room so it's on fire in there he gets his sister gets her out larry springs into action uh wakes up uh his wife and uh they're like

all right come on let's just get everyone out of the house so they get him outside of out of the forgot his kid yeah his son his other son is still in the house his son jeff so larry goes running back into the house to go get him and the whole house is in in flames so uh before matt can go in or uh larry can go in kung fu joe he's about to go back in the house he gets hit in the back uh with the crossbow he gets shot in the back too yeah he gets shot in the back with the with the arrow and so he makes it up to the attic where um his son is so he's like all right come on come on let's go matt's trying to go into the house but the the fire is uh set the the stairs are on fire and they kind of fall but matt does his little ninja climb he crawls up there he gets up to the attic where uh larry and his uh jeff his little son And Larry is telling him, he gives his son to Matt and tells him like, hey, man, just don't let my son die.

So he's like, come on, get out of here. And then Matt or Larry just falls off the first floor and just lands on the bottom floor and he's dead. So Matt is like, fuck. So he, the whole place is on fire. So he runs up to what the roof? The attic. Larry's wife and Sarah, Matt's sister, are outside, and the Pantangle guys, they come up. One of them grabbed Sarah, and then they start pointing their guns at, I don't remember her name, but...

Larry's wife. Larry's wife. And they're like, she's like, she's too noisy. Shut her up. so one of the dudes she like spits on him first but then he just guns her up we don't see it

we just hearing it so we know that they kill her so Matt is up in the attic still trying to get Jeff out of the house he gets to one of the windows and kicks it out and he climbs up the bad guys are all outside they got Matt's sister Sarah

she's all tied up and and uh the they start telling them that we're the the pantango hunting fraternity so basically like look we know who you are come down here but i'm trying to let me see all right so they let's them know who they are well they already know who they were so he's kind of like all right man bring him down down So he's got his crossbow. He shoots Matt in the leg.

This is a crazy fucking scene. If you guys haven't seen this, this clip is probably on YouTube, but oh my God. They shoot him in the leg. He's like pretty much on one of the highest parts of the house. And he hits Matt in the leg. Matt falls holding Jeff he

from that ledge he falls to the the awning of the house lands right on top of Jeff and then they both flip off the house and onto the crowd Jeff is clearly

a dummy yeah this is not supposed to be funny but if you guys see it man And then they put the sound effects And Jeff saying, oh, oh, yeah. So they walk up to Matt and they put a blade to his throat.

And then one of the other dudes walks up to little Jeff and just pumps in two slugs into him and kills him. I was like, God damn, and they were just killing kids left and right in this. So they grabbed Matt and they're telling them like, look, man, you need to meet us at wherever, somewhere in the bayou and goes, we got your sister. And if you don't come, we're going to kill her and or do all kinds of stuff to her. So I advise you to show up. Basically, they want him to participate in their game. Yeah.

So they told him where to go. and if you don't show up we're gonna have our way with your sister so they kind of knock him out and then he wakes up the house is pretty much burned down Jeff was laying there dead and he's like

he's got the arrow in his leg and he pulls that out and then he hobbles I don't know I assume he went and called someone because um geez the I don't know

CIA or FBI or whoever they all show up and they're bagging up all the bodies and everything and they're like hey man

what are we going to do but um they're like well they already know who did it so back at their headquarters they're kind of like all right man

we need we need to do something and Matt is kind of like it's all right man he didn't tell them where he was going right no they they couldn't find him they were searching the grounds and they said they got all the bodies one of these bodies could be his and they was like the main military guy or CIA guy was like no we need to search the grounds he's not here oh right so yeah so basically all right well we don't know what to do maybe we'll just wait for him to call or show up

out uh in the bayou somewhere matt is lurking around and he hears oh he goes to where the those dudes told him to show up so he gets there and there's big old party going on like there's a band play and I guess the Cajun, all the Cajun food and the...

Is this Pentango party? I guess. I mean, this is what I picture these Yahoo's doing. But the food looks good. Those, what do you call that

when they just put all the crawdads and... Seafood boil? Yeah. Yeah, it looked like that. Ah, crawfish. Is it crawfish? Crafish?

I don't know. know what you call that first time that I went to brother Lance in Houston I went to someplace by his house and I was the first time I ever had it and I remember they came out with a big bull and there was newspaper on the table

and they just dumped it on that and said here have at it I was like how do you eat this they had to show me how to twist the tail and suck the head yeah I was like wait what I mean you break it all open there's like barely a little bit of meat in there but yeah it's good but yeah i don't want to put all that work into getting that a little amount of meat yeah because i would they said yeah it's five pounds i was thinking damn five pounds i meant that's a lot

but not really once you break it all open and for those you that have had it you guys know But anyway, Matt kind of just walks in into the party. I assume everybody knew who he was because no one's really like, oh, my God, it's American Ninja or whatever. So he kind of strolls in. Obviously, this is days later, and his leg is all healed up because he ain't limping or anything. Yeah, he heals mighty quick because that arrow went straight through his leg. Yeah, and he just tore it out too. so he walks up to the middle of the party

and then these little good old boys with shotguns and beer and everything kind of come up to him and trying to give him some moonshine or something because they got the little glass jars here and take a drink and they grab him and kind of take him to I guess to get ready to where we're going and he's also looking around for his sister they take him to this

I don't know some shack looking thing two story shack he looks up into the window and he sees someone up there but he doesn't really know what's going on and there's all these other Yahoo sitting on the porch with shotguns and everything he tries to go in the house but they like spring uh their guns on to them

they start talking I don't know what language they speak down there they speak like French or something I guess I don't know it just said foreign I have subtitles.

I just said foreign language on the bottom. So we see the pantangled guys. They're all upstairs and they're like, all right, well, he made it. So let's gear up and get ready for this. Matt is still looking around for his sister. He sees somebody that he thinks his sister. He walks up on tour and turns out to be someone else, but not his sister, Sarah. So he starts walking around.

I mean, they're obviously just letting him. walk around they're not they don't like have him prisoner or anything but he starts to notice uh the ladies of the evening dancing around with these guys and walking around so he kind of walks over to where i guess the the whorehouse is and then this this dude comes down and drag and uh he's like yeah he's kind of like well what can i help you goes well i'm looking for this little girl that's 12 years old and then that guy starts going ooh 12 year old

you're a bad boy and all this I'm like goddamn Cannon he got no chill I went all the way with this one yeah so he kind of takes them into the room

and he looks in there and he sees his sister and there's another lady putting makeup all over a sister she's got a heavy makeup all over her face but he's kind of like are you okay I mean did they hurt you she's like no I was just scared waiting for you

so that uh lady guy comes back up and he pulls his wig off and then he's like what where are you going he starts talking shit and the mat grabs him and throws him out the window and he goes crashing into the water so that come on let's go so he walks out with his sister and guys are like holding their guns on him

the Pantangle guys kind of come out out in the balcony and they're looking at him and Matt's trying to just leave but I think these guys are just kind of guiding them like go this way, go that way so him and his sister kind of get in the water and they're basically like here we're going to give you a head start

so they start they start swimming and uh just going in the bayou somewhere so those other guys they load up the gimp he got his gimp gear on and everything and they start uh pulling out their weapons a guy pulls out his katinosaur gets in his little ninja gear the other dude puts his little camo mask on uh the gimp gimp's up and uh marty grog got his stuff is that like the only mask they had. Here, man, I'll take this one. It's all they had in Wardroom. At least the

ninja looking dude had somewhat of a cool mask and the Gip mask. I'd rather been the other guy with a little camouflage bandana over my mouth and a little fishing hat that he's wearing. So they gear up

and they get into a little boat and they go looking for Matt and his sister. Matt has his sister on on his back and he's just running just trying to get out of Dodge and they kind of like all right there we go and then it starts raining of course

so Matt is running for his life with his sister these guys are running through the rain and the swamp looking for him other little half-ass research I guess they're out in

the wild and you don't know what's in that water I guess Dutikov got some kind of a skin infection from whatever was in the water and everything so him and his sister they kind of find

this little I don't like a well or something because it's words somewhat dry out of the rain so he's telling him like look hey just stay here we'll be okay we'll wait until morning and then we'll

get out of here um uh it's morning time and they both kind of fell asleep but then Matt hears something so he kind of wakes up and then tells the sister like look just just stay here I'll be back so Matt goes outside and it's still raining and he sees uh one of the dudes it's the um the ninja looking guy he gets a rock those it under the water and then that guy turns around he sees Matt and so he goes running after him I when you got those type of masks

your vision is limited. I would have took that shit off and and it's raining. So they go out out into the swamp. Matt is running. He's got no weapons or anything. And that guy's got his sword. So they kind of

make it out out little ways and then all of a sudden they spring into action. The ninja guy's walking up. Matt comes around a tree with a stick. Hits him in the face. A perfect stick. Yeah. a strong enough stick that a sword can't even go through because i'm sure this guy's swinging that

sword as hard as he can but uh he's no match for the american ninja and like i said man they're they're out in the elements so they're falling in this dirty-ass water and you don't know what's in there so they're fighting he gets uh matt gets close enough to this ninja guy and grabs his other sword that he has so now both of them have have swords and they're fighting but then the ninja you kicks Matt in the face his sword goes flying into the water

and then Matt kicks that guy his sword goes falling in the water so now they go hand to hand start doing the ninja kicks the ninja guy gives him a quick front roundhouse Matt gives him a front kick they both fall down they get up they're kicking throwing fists and Matt's just

getting kind of getting worked for a little bit but he's also getting his work in but he's mainly getting his ass kicked right here so the ninja guy gets matt to his knees matt kind of grabs him flips him over and that guy falls and there's a branch or something sticking up out of the water and that dude flips right on top of it goes through his back and comes out of his out of his stomach and so he's dead kind of goes over and feels around for I guess other weapons but he's got nothing so he leaves that guy there laying there dead in water and he goes back do you go back to his sister is that yeah he went to go look for her so yeah he goes back in there to that little place where he had

his sister at but she's not in there so and then we see the gimp he springs into action because Matt walks outside that little thing that he's in he's calling his sister We see Gimp lurking around the bushes behind him. And he's got, I don't know what, he's got some kind of little knife things or whatever. He jumps down on to Matt, tackles him. They go ninja rolling down the hill into the water. And then they start fighting. Those little things that he had that he was going to stab him with or whether he must have dropped them when they went rolling down the hill.

Because now they're just fighting each other. Gimp is pushing Matt underwater trying to drown him Oh, that wasn't a mad dude of Carl And Michael Dudacov So

Yeah I mean they're They're fighting in the mud And they're really beating the shit out of each other Dropping Fists back and forth On him fucking Matt Is just getting his ass whooped

Plus he's tired He just was fighting that of the ninja dude That guy Gimp gives him AA he falls into the water and yeah that ain't him that's taken most of the gives him another a falls in the water these wigs look terrible so um matt gets him uh in a headlock but then that guy picks him back up gives him a back breaker ah he falls into the water his wig almost falls off is that when he falls on that log yeah he does a body press boom throws him onto that

and he's uh he gets up and the gimp is just whooping that ass so he picks him up the guy has him over his shoulder brings him over to the to the bank and then power bombs him onto it uh the gimp dude takes off his mask and he starts head button Matt and matches ah he's laying there he puts his his boot on Matt's neck and then that guy pulls out this big ass giant fucking sword knife he's about to come down and stab Matt but Matt

kicks him in the balls and must have kicked him pretty hard because that guy's holding him Matt springs back into action starts giving him a body blows hits him in the jaw and then boom hits him in the throat he falls down no he needs him in the chest

and then he falls down and he's like you son of a bitch where's my sister where is she And that guy just spits in his face and then punches Matt and then starts to crawl away. So Matt runs and gets up, grabs the crossbow. That guy grabs his knife like he's going to throw it at him, but then Matt shoots him in the chest. And then that guy's, uh, uh, ah, ah, he says gasping for air. And then he falls down right onto his chest.

And I'm sure that arrow went in more. So that guy's dead. we see Sarah she's calling Matt so he goes over to her and she's like wow where did you go when I went looking for you he told you to stay there didn't even listen

all right now we got the guy with the fishing hat and the camouflage bandana he's he's got a shotgun I think or no he's got this shotgun so

Matt is running and Sarah's like I can't keep up with you and he's like all right all right here and just get on my back so she jumps on his back and they start just running through the the bayou so that guy he sees them and then he starts shooting at him and like I said earlier canons got no chill because that guy's shoes and boom hits his sister like in the in the shoulder and they fall into the water so she she got hit so it's like fuck so he picks his sister up and kind of puts her uh behind this tree to be safe to be safe because that guy's just shooting and shooting he looks pretty far ain't no way those shotgun blasts are going that far so but she's kind of she's kind of bleeding so he kind of puts something over it and then he goes

out to go fight that guy. So that guy's pumping shots at Matt and Matt is just ducking and dive and dodging behind trees and that guy's shooting. And I don't know how much shells that this shotgun holds

but... Unlimited. He finally runs out. He pulls out a grenade off his vest, throws it at Matt and blows up right by Matt and Matt goes flying it into the water. So that guy, he sees them.

And here comes Mardi Gras guy. He's lurking around as well. But that dude in the fishing hat, he rolls up on Matt because Matt is laying there, knocked out in the water. So he tells Matt, sorry about that, because, but Matt was playing possum. So he springs into action. Oh, geez, that's what he says. He must be playing possum on me, because, and they start going in their rest of him.

wrestling around. He slams Matt into the tree. Matt, he starts running at Matt again. Matt jumps out of the way and he goes slamming into the tree. And that guy kicks Matt. He falls back into the water. Matt must be hella tired. He backs heading him. Matt's giving him his best. Start giving him body blows. That guy starts stomping Matt in the back. Matt's giving him more body blows. He throws that dude into the water. He gives Matt a boot. And then that, that guy pulls out a knife and then Matt is just trying to duck and he's just swinging his knife at him. He swings at him. He grabs the knife hand, gives him some shots and a kick and then they fall into the water. That dude gets on top of Matt and he's trying to stab him with it. Matt

grabs that guy in the face, reverses him, throws him in the water, still trying to get that knife out of his hand. He pulls the knife out of that guy's hand and then he just brings it down and stabs that dude right that pretty boy right into the chest he was smiling when he was dying so he's dead he pulls out his wallet

and looks at him and he sees a picture that that guys have of all the dudes that were trying to kill him I took all that money he had a few hundred dollars bills in his pocket

or his wallet so he grabs his sister and he starts going back through the bayou and he sees uh i don't know what i don't know what that is over there but he sees cars driving by it's uh the same little setup where those dudes in the beginning saw so they figured ah we're saved let's try to get over there so matt kind of says the same thing all right let's go but then uh the mighty grail mask guy what the hell was his name uh elliott glastonbury he's like the owner of the Glassenberry industries or whatever

anyway so he springs into action he's got a um like a wire and he kind of wraps it around Matt's neck and and starts choking him um did Matt have like a oh he had that knife yeah he had it on his waist

yeah he got because he got stabbed in the way so he pulls it out of him he stabs uh Glassenberry and that he's ah he's screaming and like crawls away Matt got Sarah and they kind of swim across

to the other side and Glastonbury gets he gets away so we're back at I don't know CIA headquarters yeah Matt Matt carried his sister

out of way to CIA headquarters yeah where were they at and if they were that close why didn't they come help Well, I guess they didn't know where it was. So he said, all right, well, here's my sister. Take care of her.

And if she dies, I'm holding everybody in this room responsible. And luckily, there were some doctors and EMTs right out in the hall. Yeah, right outside the door. So they came in. So he basically tells them, look, who they are and who names and all, he tells them everybody's names, because he saw that picture and then obviously he knew them all so they start yelling at him and whoever the the main guy is starts yelling at look man you need to tell us everything you know and everyone that's involved or you're going to go down too and he basically tells them

look man I ain't telling you guys shit you guys can tell the community to stick it where the the sun don't shine. I don't know who wrote this script, but all right. It's so mad just leaves. And we're back at this mansion where the Glassenberry guy is. And he's got a whole other fresh crop of, of what are they called?

Pantangle dudes. Yeah. So, and they're having this big fancy dinner. he obviously I don't know got back to where he was supposed to go and he got stabbed so

must have healed him up too because he's all fresh dressed and everything but his little servant or whatever comes up and says yeah there's somebody's here and there's a note for you

so he looks at it he opens it up and it's that picture that Matt took out of that pretty boy guy's wallet and it's got red exes over the guys that he killed in a circle around uh glass andberry's head so he's kind of telling him like oh okay because he told him that there was someone here for him so he goes into i don't know it's steady or whatever a mat is standing there and he's all beat up and bloody still obviously he must have dried up because he's still wearing the

same clothes that he was fighting it he's not even wet anymore and that's a white shirt man that thing would have been black from all that muddy-ass water he was rolling around in and getting stabbed and everything and again what's in the wood you don't know what's in that water he's probably got all kinds of infections swimming around in him now so uh galattenbury takes him upstairs into his i don't know if it was war room or something weapons room yeah he's got swords and axes and crossbows And he's telling him, like, yeah, like, basically still trying to get him to join the Pantangle. But Matt's telling him, like, look, man, fuck you.

The Pantangle's over with once I deal with you. But he's just like, all right, man. You know what we got to do. So basically, grab a weapon and let's do this. So Matt grabs a, was that a spear that he grabbed? and the the the

the the glasenberry he grabs a spear as well and I mean shout out to the stunt man that plays glisenberry but that that wig is terrible

shout out to his wig yeah you couldn't find some older gentlemen with gray hair that could do all this so there again there's weapons all over this room uh gladzenberry loses his

his little spear because he throws that at and then he's got one of those um like those sticks with a metal ball on it on a chain and he's swinging it at Matt and Matt's got a shield uh he

he runs at him Matt flips him over on the shield he falls on the ground and Matt picks up a little a little Sinbad sword or whatever so he starts twirling it around uh Glastonbury pulls out a big old

I don't know some kind of sword and they have a slow-ass sword fight. It's like not even, they're like barely swinging it hard enough. But Matt kicks him. He falls down the stairs. Matt jumps down, grabs him off the stairs, throws him onto the ground. He gets up and they go to hand-to-hand. They start swinging at each other.

Matt's just dropping bombs. That old guy is kicking his ass. And shout out to the stuntman with a bad wig. And then the Glastonbury. pulls out a, what was that like brass knuckles with little spikes on it? It's a wire thing. Oh, okay.

Because yeah, he pulls that out, he knocks Matt down and then he digs in his other pocket, pulls out that wire, wraps it around Matt's neck, and then he just starts turning and turning. It looked like they were strangling Michael Dutacar

for real. Yeah, man, because he's got his fingers under it, but man, he's, you must be able to hold his breath good because that guy is just squeezing it as tight as he could and Matt's face is turning blue but he shoves Glastonbury up against the wall and he's just throwing him back and forth still I mean he would have passed out by now but he's American ninja so Matt's getting ready to pass out he looks over to his left and he sees this this statue

I assume it's metal and it's the statue was holding like some kind of spear so he spins and gets Glastonbury

and throws him into it and it stabs him right through the chest and comes out of his back and then he kind of loosens up and let's go of that wire and Matt starts to breathe again

and then that guy's does a crazy yell who pushes himself off of that blade or that little spear and then he just falls with this crazy look in his face and you could see the little thing under his shirt

with probably full of blood or whatever so he falls and he's dead and then he kind of walks out of the house we go to the hospital where his sister is and she's okay I'm sure they took the little bullet out or whatever got hit

pride to give her all kinds of tetanus and search her, give her all kinds of drugs for who knows what was in that water. So I guess the CIA guys were there and they're telling Matt

congratulations for ending the pantangle but he but he's telling because they're telling them that look you probably killed the main guys in there

but he starts telling them that basically that's more out there yeah there's more out there and then he starts asking that guy questions like look who who told them that the Richards family was at my barn

so there's someone on your on your on your side letting them know but because that guy's like well what are you saying and he's like I'm not saying anything because I'm just letting you know that there's someone in on the inside that's doing dirt

and I'm going to find them and that's pretty much the end of the movie because he walks towards the camera and we get those classic 80 freeze shots avenging force a Golan Globus production.

There was never a part two to this, was there? I don't think so. But that is a vengeance force. It's goofy. It's 80s, but I mean, these type of movies were coming out left and right. And Michael Dutnikov is one of the legends

the kings of the 80s. But, only the first American Ninja was in a theater, right? Because I remember the other ones went straight to VHS. I think so. So, but this one,

I, again, I saw the box, but I never rented it. And if it came on, like, up all night or something, I just never really paid attention to it. But I enjoyed this movie. I thought it was cool. The best of the 80s,

Canon Greatness Yeah So but Yeah This is a good one I got If you got MGM

Plus It's streaming on there As well as Tobe And How many American Ninja movies did we do Two

Just the first two Yeah And there's what Four Five? Oh there's five Yeah All right

I see four is on here Is this are all the rest of them on there? I know three and four, which that's what's next for us. American Ninja 3 Blood Hunt. I think this is the one

without Michael Dutnikov. Oh. Wait, what the hell is this? Oh, man, I lost it. Damn, I was scrolling and I saw three.

stars David Bradley Shit. I lost it. That was a movie that sounded good. Oh, here it is. Soldier Boys. Oh, you ain't seen that one? No. It's got Michael Dutnikov, a cane for menace

to society. Damn. He takes the baddest of the bad out of juvenile and takes them into over Vietnam

or somewhere to do a special mission oh that sounds good yeah you know what we'll do that next yeah I mean I'm watching the trailer

it looks cool basically if they if they survive the mission then they get paroled at a juby like band of the hand yeah except they're putting them in
