During the scene where there was a guy doing the weapons forms in a White Ninjia outfit who is he?And whats his name?

Have no idea. Might have to watch the credits carefully next time I watch it, see if it's there. But I've always wondered myself because he's amazing.

If I remember correctly, the person who performed in the White Ninja outfit was Wayne Nguyen. I was doing karate in Houston at the time the movie came out, and a lot of people in Houston's martial arts community were involved in the movie as stunt people and extras (i.e. my sensei was the ninja who broke through the wall during the helicopter dream scene). Wayne Nguyen was a black belt, and I often saw him perform the same nunchuck routine in the movie at martial arts tournaments. You can also see Wayne Nguyen out of uniform in the gym scene as one of the Asian guys bullying Jonathan Brandis' character.

What did Smantha Lloyd do in the movie then? She's listed as Female Ninja, but I only remember the white ninja in the movie..

Did you not watch the movie? That was Jonathan Brandis. He always does his own stunts. Err, I mean did. That guy was a beast!

the guy in the white ninja suit with the chucks is my husband Wayne Nguyen. For some reason they didn't put his name on the credits, not sure why because everyone remembers sidekicks for his scene. You can check him out at waynenguyen.com

Your husband was a legend in that movie! I was wondering who that was for 20 years, and finally got my answer! Thank you. I think he was so good that he made the rest of the movie look like child's play. Plus I believe he preformed better then Norris. Why hasn't the studios picked Wayne Nguyen up for his own action film?! It's ridiculous that he isn't in more films.
