American Ninja Page #3

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.

...help you with any problems

you may encounter with the opposition.

The results are quite efficient and final.

Black Star Ninja is the only top-ranking

ninjutsu sensei outside Japan.

Believe me when I tell you this man

is deeply honoured to die at his hands.

This way, please.

You have an excellent inventory.

It's all straight from the factory.

I don't deal in used equipment.

You'll find only the best here.

But items which are most valuable

to us, you still don't have.

Do you think you can

comply with our needs?

I'm expecting the final items

in the next few days.

If we can agree on a price, it can be

included in the next shipment.

Tres miliones, para todo.

There are other buyers also interested.

Bastante completo el equipo.

Podemos pagar cuatro millones.

- Cash on delivery.

- But of course.

It's a pleasure doing business with you,

my friend, and you, pleasure.

- Pleasure.

- And now for some champagne.

(soldiers chant)

Hey!

So you're the new driver, huh?

I hear you think yourself to be

some kind of a tough guy.

A karate boy.

- Hey, I'm talkin' to you, hero.

- He thinks he's a real bad-ass, Jackson.

I think you should

teach him a lesson there, ace.

- Bad-ass?

- Mm-hm.

You know, every place you go, there's

someone who thinks he's a bad-ass.

- Then there are those few who are.

- He ain't one of 'em.

Are you some kind of

a bad-ass, karate boy?

Because from what I heard,

you didn't act like one the other day.

And we lost some good

friends because of it, huh?

We like to know where a person stands.

We pride ourselves on teamwork here.

We left all the glory boys back in Vietnam.

Because glory boys like you get people

killed. You understand what I'm sayin'?

Yeah, you understand what I'm sayin'.

So let's go, bad-ass.

Let's see what kind

of stuff you're made out of.

- Don't push it.

- Good.

Very good. I've touched somethin'.

Let's go.

I'm talkin' to you, Mr Hero.

OK. All right, let's do it.

Come on, baby. Come on, fight me.

Who the f*** are you? Come here!

Come on, fight me, man.

(soldiers) Whoa!

Shut up!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Hey! We don't stop

till one of us goes down.

Now. Let's go.

What are you gonna do

with that hose? Play with yourself?

Show me what you do.

Jackson, get up.

Here. Go and get him with this.

- You damn right I'll get him.

- Yeah! Yeah!

- What's this?

- Mess him up now.

- What is this?

- He can't even see you.

All right, all right, all right.

(groans)

Hey.

I'm Jackson.

Joe.

Curtis Jackson is man enough

to admit when he's wrong.

- Joe's all right, right?

- Right.

Ain't this a b*tch? I've been instructing

martial arts in the army for many years...
