Trivia
David Bradley claims that he had lobbied the producers to have his and Michael Dudikoff's characters work in tandem throughout the film, but his efforts were frustrated when Dudikoff agreed to appear only on the condition that his character would save the day on his own, and clearly be shown to be the superior fighter.

Goofs
After an arrow almost hits Sean out of nowhere in the forest, he prepares to do battle with whoever shot it, which turns out to be an entire ninja army. Inexplicably, he decides to slowly prepare his weapons and meditate, in clear and present danger, while they the ninjas hold off on attacking him for no good reason.

Quotes
Joe Armstrong: Sean... you can find me at the school.

Alternate versions
While the TV-version contains several cuts to reduce violence, the 18-rated Video-Release is uncut.

Mongols vs the Ninjas

Michael Dudikoff, although not doing much acting, has more on screen presence in this movie. He's clearly evolved over this series as an actor, and has a leading man charisma to him in this movie.

Unfortunately the series didn't evolve with him, but devolved.

Seen one, seen em all characterizes this fourth installment of the American Ninja series. Producers might lose interest after the first few production, and they're only making it on inertia. Even a big franchise like the JAWS went the same route, so maybe we can't blame the producers too much.

The story is choppy, and doesn't flow smoothly. Trying to find a meaning in a movie like this is a futile effort, but I wished they kept producing the movie in a nicer looking locations as they did in part 2 of this series.
