Of all the martial arts film that emerged in the 1980’s, one of the most iconic was American Ninja. Its star Michael Dudikoff suddenly became they most imitated action heroes in play grounds across the world! Why Hollywood won't cast him anymore?

I watched American Ninja so many times back in the 80's as a kid. I still have the original VHS and Blurays. Classic! R.I.P Steve James.

Steve James's passed away I was SHOCKED to learn Steve had passed. He is another UNDERRATED actor R.I.P. Steve James's you'll NEVER EVER be forgotten mate 🌸🌱🌸

Dudikoff and Cynthia Rothrock should have been in Expendables. They were both highly underrated action stars and deserve their due.

@ModernBarbarian187 4 месяца назад

I met Michael Dudikoff some years back, a very nice guy. I asked about The Expendables, and he said he was willing but needed the fans to push for it. Stallone and the producers should tap more people who might not have been as big of stars but are remembered and entertained us.

@joesinegal8167 Год назад

Michael Dudikoff Is One Cool And Talented Guy! I Met Him A Few Years Back At Costco At The Rolling Hills Shipping Center In Torrance, California. We Talked For About An Hour And I Asked Him What He Was Working On And He Said That: "Hollywood Wouldn't Cast Him Anymore, Because They Said He Was Too Old"!!! It's A Sad Day When Hollywood Cuts Someone's Career Short Based On Age! Michael Dudikoff Is A Great Guy And If He Ever Reads This Thread, I Hope He Remembers Our Conversation And Knows That He Still Has A Huge Fan Base And Is Loved And Remembered! ✌️

Still love Michael Dudikoffs timeless b-movies and low budget classics until today. Watched the American Ninja with my 10 years old son yesterday and he is directly addicted to it.

@KevinMcMullen. Год назад

Loved American Ninja 1 and 2 when I was a kid.

@mactahvince-lm8sn 6 месяцев назад

This guy was a big part of my childhood. My Dad introduced American Ninja to me when i was 4. Watched it everytime as a kid. Now as a young adult, still watch it🔥. My younger brother loves it too. Never gets old, Timeless Classic. Dudikoff you legend.

@glennjthompson332 Год назад

YES!😃 "Make It Happen"!😁 Michael Dudikoff is a winner for me!🤨

@VikingAF1111 Год назад

Expendables 4 hell ya. American ninja two of my favourite ninja movies when I was a boy. Dudikoff, for sure, needs to be on screen with the rest of our childhood iconic heroes, and their ilk.

@louisokorodudu3754 11 месяцев назад

Glad to see this dude looks peaceful and happy.......

@NationalistAF Год назад

Dudikoff in Expendables 4 . i would love that. American Ninja❤❤

@SteveWoodsGsy Год назад

My childhood hero Mr Dudikoff! I still know every word to the American Ninja movies! They are still good today!! 🥰

@powerbadpowerbad Год назад

AMEN,I loved his films back in the day. LOL.Good memories.

@mrbungle7586 Год назад

I'd forgotten about him. Always liked him and glad to see his still doing well.

@JeffCarvajal Год назад

It would be great if Stallone brings Dudikoff on the train franchise of the Expendables!!!

@tsepheletseka5115 Год назад

Fun Fact: American Ninja 4 was shot mostly in my home country, Lesotho. It would be great to see him a future installment of The Expandables, preferably as the main villain.

@chocodiledundee1 Год назад

OMG this dude got totally deleted from my memory maybe for 25 years or so , absolutely 80’s-90’s legendary icon I can’t believe I’ve forgotten Michael, yes expendables 4 for sure

@mlong9475 Год назад

I remember fondly growing up watching the 1st and 2nd American Ninja movies. Him and Steve made a dynamic duo and really made the first two movies more enjoyable than the rest. The movies after that were all down hill.

@00ghostcobra Год назад

I love seeing vids like this and finding out what happened to guys like Dudikoff, Rathrock and others that I watched in the 80's and 90's.. Man I am getting old...lol. R.I.P. Steve James

@NewfieAsianKid Год назад

I used to watch American Ninja so many times as a teenager and is one of my favorite franchise. I didn't like part 3 though how they changed actors with David Bradley although he was a legit martial artist. He didn't had that similar mysterious presence compared to Dudikoff's character how he had amnesia from the bomb explosion.

@SteveWoodsGsy Год назад

I will honour the code father

@diegogatti7397 Год назад

a clean face for a good guy, loved him as action hero back in the '90s, happy about hes fine and still around 👍

@Agent.Wadsworth Год назад

Glad to see that he didnt fade away into obscurity. But he managed to marry & start a family late in life. He lives a comfortable,chill, upper middle class life as a house flipper & family man. Hope his kids pick up martial arts too.

@jairunet 4 месяца назад

Its crazy how actors can inspire and influence your life, 30 years later I was still targeting moving to Japan, now I been living in Tokyo for more than 10 years 🙏 thank you Michael!

@MrMrmusashi Год назад

Would love to see him in the next Expandable series if that ever happened.

@danyaelpedro4 Год назад

All to this point, yes, actors from the 1900s have been forgotten and this could be a once in a lifetime and I haven't seen his films in a while.😂😊😅😊

@LucyFair_33 Год назад

I Remember Having The Entire Franchise On A VHS

@JediRouge Год назад

I remembered IMDB used to be the only way I ever got info about him amd for the longest time felt like no one knew him. Glad nowadays I can either go one RU-vid or Tiktok to hear what all he does.

@bayjustin3885 Год назад

Glad to see he’s winning ! ❤

@bernardwilliams4071 Год назад

I have the birthday as him i always thought that was cool 😂 love the American ninja franchise and avenging force

@jaredharris1970 Год назад

When the American ninja came out I wanted to be a ninja lol I was disappointed when I found out that wasn’t a real job lol

@marvellousmusic4336 Год назад

I loved all these films, especially the first one and how they did not know he was a Ninjit-su and he helped them from attacking ninjas, there's an American ninja 5 with Pat Morita.

@AGC828 2 года назад

So many films we neer heard of. :) At least he's had a lot of work. All the power to him. He could have faded away with no reall work or any movie roles of any kind. Did like his American Ninja films. :) Good entertainment value.

Always forget he was in tron. What an absolute legend

@gamhananalanka Год назад

Black Belt magazine articles said serious martial artist movie watchers immediately dislike American Ninja since they easily detected that Michael Dudikoff just like Wesley Snipes is not a real practitioner of any martial arts form. He just learned it as a full grown adult and it is obvious in the way he carried the moves.

@mullcrumthesage6303 Год назад

Certifiable bad ass Ninja.

@troglodytezero1697 Год назад

The first American Ninja is one of my favorites. He had the look but no Martial artist experience. It reminds me of Netflix's Iron Fist show, and how to do it correctly and how to do it incorrectly. It's all about the Writing & Directing.

@mirzafatic1663 Год назад

He learned Brasilian Jiu Jitsu and another art. His movements are amazing 👏 😊

Michael was actually vary popular in Europe in general..not just Russia. I remember watching American ninja as a kid.Just like David Haselhoff was popular in Germany...because he was German decent.Same thing goes for Michael and Russians

@michaelsmiley15 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately like so many action stars they just stop doing movies I'm not sure but I think he spent some time teaching I think there comes a point when so many of these stars age out because the movies are not popular anymore

@charlietoole8707 Год назад

Loved Steve James 😎

@troglodytezero1697 Год назад

The ending detailed information got stockery. Didn't realize he was in so much.

@jasonkeaton5140 Год назад

Damn he did pretty good for himself I know he does jiujitus avidly. Cool stuff

@blindthief 2 месяца назад

To me he was the 80's version of Guile from Street Fighter. I like Michael way more than Van Damme and Seagal.

@ryan4572 Год назад

That would be awesome to see him on expendables

@pmf026 2 месяца назад

He'd be great as Guile... in Joey Ansah' Street Fighter:World Warrior (cancelled, unfortunately)

@jaredharris1970 Год назад

My favorite American ninja scene was when he put the bucket over his head and kicked those fellow soldiers ass lol

@brucemyers1823 Год назад

Always wondered what happened to him. 😮

@DragonLee777 Год назад

The Expendables 4 yes in a ninja character role for sure

Does anyone think that the rise in fame of Jean Claude Vandamn affected his career especially that JCV is a real athlete?

@shadowlesswarrior Год назад

In the 80s was some kind movie trend of some random white guy being trained by some mystical Asian master like karate kid, bloodsport, kickboxer, American Ninja to name a few..
