American Ninja 2: The Confrontation

American Ninja 2: The Confrontation sends two U.S. Army Rangers, Sergeant Joe Armstrong and Sergeant Curtis Jackson, to a Caribbean island to look into the disappearance of a group of marines. Their investigation quickly puts them up against a criminal known as The Lion, who has been abducting soldiers and turning them into ninja warriors through genetic engineering. With help from Alicia Sanborn, the daughter of a local scientist who has also been taken, the two men set out to dismantle the operation and free the captives. The film is a sequel to American Ninja, released two years earlier, and again pairs Michael Dudikoff as Armstrong with Steve James as Jackson.
