American Ninja Page #2

Synopsis: Joe Armstrong, an orphaned drifter will little respect for much other than martial arts, finds himself on an American Army base in The Philippines after a judge gives him a choice of enlistment or prison. On one of his first missions driving a convoy, his platoon is attacked by a group of rebels who try to steal the weapons the platoon is transporting and kidnap Patricia, the base colonel's daughter, who happens to be along for the ride. Joe rescues Patricia and gets her safely back to the base, but everyone else in the platoon is killed, leading his superiors to conclude that Joe is guilty of cowardice, collaboration or simple incompetence. At the same time, the rebel leader vows revenge against the serviceman who disrupted his plans, and sends an army of ninjas to assassinate him and bring back Patricia. If he wants to survive and save the girl, Joe's going to have to draw on every last ounce of his training.

No, sir.

Good.

Because I've got half a mind

to throw you under the stockade.

Just what in the hell were you

tryin' to prove out there?

Nothing, sir.

We've got a touchy situation

with these rebels.

We're under standing orders

not to provoke any incidents.

There was nothing in

that convoy worth protecting.

Now we've got four

dead men on our hands.

There's gonna be an investigation.

You're gonna be court-martialled

and I can't help ya.

Get outta my sight.

- Do you have his record, Sergeant?

- Yes, sir.

- Well, let's hear it.

- Yes, sir.

Date of birth:
Unknown.

Parents:
Unknown.

Next of kin:
Unknown.

A construction crew found him

on an island six years ago...

...knocked unconscious by an explosion

to blast a road through the jungle.

Brought back to the United States

with total amnesia.

In and out of foster homes. Hell, he's

got more last names than I could count.

Here it is. I knew it.

Aged 16, in reform school

for almost killing a man.

- That's correct, sir.

- Six months ago he got in trouble again.

Judge gave him a choice:

Enlist or go to jail.

Confine him to base

till we finish the investigation.

- Yes, sir.

- And keep him away from Patricia.

Yes, sir.

All right, men. I know our morale is low,

so now let's just go hit the showers, OK?

That's him, man. There's that

bastard I was telling you about.

Let's go.

Hey, Joe Hero. Did you

make out with the princess?

Did she put out a little bit

to thank you for saving her life?

Let's get outta here. This place stinks.

Four bodies to impress a girl.

Was a heavy price, wasn't it?

Wasn't it?

- Bienvenido.

- Hola, amigo Ortega.

- Welcome to the Ortega estate.

- Thank you very much.

- Welcome. Pasen, por favor.

- Mm, no est mal.

- Hi.

- Janette.

- Enchant.

- Juliette.

Very nice to meet you.

Qu cosas ms lindas

tienes aqu en tu palacio.

Pero, es espeluznante

todo esto, verdad?

Everything that you see

here... it all belongs to me.

We are totally autonomous here.

We grow our own food, train our staff...

...and store our product

until the right buyers...

...such as yourselves, can take delivery.

Very impressive.

This way.

This is Shinyuki. He's responsible for the

beautiful landscape you see around you.

I found him when I bought the estate.

He was hiding in the jungle...

...in uniform, a Japanese soldier, who was

unaware for years that the war was over.

He never says a word. Well, hardly ever.

But as you can see, he is truly an artist.

Ah, very impressive.

This is my private army.

In addition to ensuring safe acquisition

and delivery of the merchandise...

...each member of my special duty staff

here is specially trained to...
