Brandon Lee should of been the new American Ninja


Hey do you think it would been cool if Brandon Lee was the Star of American Ninja 3 Blood Hunt instead of David Bradley i think it would of been alot better if they had gotten Brandon Lee to be New American Ninja instead of David Bradley.

Steve James should really have been the star from beginning.

He carried the series from the start. Dudikoff's acting, enthusiasm and physical skills lagged behind James in the first 2 films. Now that Dudikoff wasn't in this movie; the lead should have went to Steve James period. Why bring in a low skill new face as the lead? I believe they didn't want a Black lead and wanted to keep the "All American Ninja" White no matter what. Too bad.

Steve looks uninterested (I don't blame him) in this one and that's untimately why it's so bad. Dudicoff's appearance would not have helped. Steve James made the American Ninja movies watchable.

I totally agree with Brandon Lee as the new star.....although I think Bradley did a pretty decent job coming into the franchise on the third outing. He had the body, the looks and decent martial arts skills (don't think his acting was too bad and don't care anyway it's a ninja movie). If it was just Brandon Lee and Steve James it would have rocked, but we get an additional third sidekick who can barely fight and then a female ninja to weaken the whole 'buddy-movie' thing even further.
