NINJA 2!
3 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Casey Bowman has taken over the Koga ninja dojo and married Namiko Takeda, who is due to give birth to their first child. Well, was, as this movie fridges her and she dies when muggers - who attacked Casey earlier in the day - murder her. After her funeral, a former student named Nakabara (Kane Kosugi) gives him the offer of moving to Thailand, but Casey is trying to figure out his own path. That path starts by finding the muggers and killing them.

Casey ends up going to Bangkok, where he meets with Nakabara and begins training with him. But death follows and it's revealed that Casey's teacher - and Namiko's father - Sensei Takeda once was one of the top three students with Nakabara's father and Isamu, who was killed by Takeda in his ascension to being the top ninja. Now, Isamu's son Goro has become the leader of a drug cartel and may have been the one to kill Namiko. Of course Casey is being fooled and used as a weapon, which means that the two men are going to have to fight to the death.

Directed by Isaac Florentine and written by Boaz Davidson, this movie gave me such great happiness, as if Cannon had never gone away. This would be the movie that they would be making, all action, minimal story and even a wacky cab driver.
