American Ninja Page #6

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.

who think they can make a fool out of me.

They don't know I've been a sergeant

in this man's army before they were born.

Even before they were

sent to reform schools.

I understand you like

to do extra duties, do you?

- Uh, no, sir.

- No?

I heard yesterday you volunteered

to do some, didn't ya?

Well, don't worry, Charley.

I won't deny you that privilege.

You could keep doin' 'em

till I said you had enough.

And that's gonna be

a long time from now.

And as for you, hero...

...you believe my orders

can be ignored, right?

You don't like the hard work.

You'd rather be drivin' around town, right?

Well, I'll have you drivin', all right.

Report to the motor pool.

Sergeant Rinaldo told me to report here.

There's an assignment for me.

That one goes over to the warehouse

on the dock. You know where it is?

Thanks, I'll find it.

Hey, this warehouse five?

Where is everyone?

(sounds horn)

Ooh!

(rice falling)

(thud)

Go!

Come on.

Pasa. Let's go.

It's here. Let's go and see it, ah?

Open it.

Ah, magnifique.

Just beautiful.

Goes on the shipment the morning

after tomorrow with everything else, ah?

Hey, you!

What was that?

Someone is in here. Lock

the door so he can't get away.

Everyone, look around you.

Wait a minute.

(speaks Japanese)

The ninja will take care of it.

Hey! Hold it!

Outside.

(gunshots)

Two of you, round the back, now!

- Is that the American?

- Yes.

We must stop him.

Come, this way. Come. Hurry.

- Who are you?

- You will know when the time is right.

- Our paths will meet again.

- Whaddaya mean?

Your karma and mine,

they are connected.

Go.

Telephone. Get me the sergeant.

(phone rings)

- Rinaldo here.

- He escaped the trap. I don't know how.

The ambush was perfect. And

listen to me, Sergeant. He was here.

He's seen the missile.

He knows too much and I want him dead.

I don't care how you do it.

The plan must proceed as programmed.

Don't worry about it, Victor.

He'll be taken care of.

Hold it right there, soldier.

You're under arrest.

I have to see the colonel.

My truck was hijacked.

My order is to place you under arrest.

You can tell your story to the duty officer.

Take him away.

Sir. I'm sorry to bother you, but

I believe a mistake has been made.

What is it, Corporal?

A man was picked up for being AWOL. I

may be able to explain the circumstances.

There's been one arrest today

and it was no mistake.

Unless you want to

question a direct order.

No, I don't. But could you

tell me the charges, sir?

Very serious. It has to do

with stealing military equipment.

- Expensive military equipment.

- Stealing military equipment?

I warned you not to involve

yourself with the man, Corporal.
