An American Ninja? There's no such thing.

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's review, in honor of International Ninja Day, I sit down to discuss the 1980s cult classic American Ninja starrring Michael Dudikoff. In the review, I talk about the work of director Sam Firstenberg and fight choreographer Mike Stone, look at the growth of Dudikoff as a martial artist, and I give my hot take on 80s action films. I also talk a lot about what is an actual ninja vs the way ninjas are typically portrayed, and how that symbolizes our biger issue with replacing actual history with the stories we want to tell ourselves.
