I am shocked that this was in the bottom 100,I agree it is a good kid flick not as good as the 3 ninjas series but still decent,It should at least be a 5

I grew up with Parts 1-4 on VHS and watched them many times in the 90's, I heard this was unrelated and a bad movie so I never watched it till today, and it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it'd be, sure it's cheesy 90's nonsense aimed at young teenagers but it was mildly entertaining, the fight scenes were better than most of the one's in the other 4 movies too. Plus Anne Dupont is decent to look at. It's probably been helped and hindered by being made part of the series in name only (it was originally called 'American Dragons' I believe) but most of us are smart enough to not hold that against it. In some countries Avenging Force was American Ninja 2 and the rest all had to slide down a number, that's a far more confusing series. Hell, Avenging Force is a non sequel, sequel to Invasion USA, part of the B-movie charm & history, all these dubiously titled or linked sequels.
