American Fighter (1985)
Joe Armstrong ist ein ruhiger GI, hinter dem ein großes Geheimnis steckt: perfekt beherrscht er die Kampfkunst der japanischen Ninjas - der geheimnisvollen Schattenkrieger, in deren Händen alles zu einer gefährlichen Waffe wird. Wer ihm die todbringenden Techniken und Taktiken der Ninja lehrte, ist Joe aufgrund einer Gedächtnistrübung nicht bekannt. Ein Rätsel aber, das sich löst, als Joe durch sein entschlossenes Eingreifen ein betrügerisches Waffengeschäft zwischen seinem Vorgesetzten Colonel Hickock und dem Mafia-Boss Ortega zunichte macht. Denn bei diesem Überfall begegnet Joe erstmals einem schwarzen Ninja, für den Töten zum Geschäft wurde. Ein schmutziges Geschäft, dem Joe mit allen Möglichkeiten der Ninja-Kampfkunst entgegentritt...
