American Ninja and its first sequel made him into a legit, international star follow-ups such as the immensely entertaining Avenging Force and River of Death were further showcases for his talents as an actor and stuntman. Here we had an actor with Ryan Gosling’s good looks and arguably better acting skills, but unfortunately worse judgment when it came to selecting projects. It’s really not fair that Dudikoff isn’t universally revered as one the ‘80s biggest action stars he came out of the same school of low-budget action filmmaking – the beloved, defunct Cannon Group – that turned Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme into movie stars, but for whatever reason isn’t held in the same light. If there were justice in this world, Michael Dudikoff would be an Expendable.
