Warning: Spoilers
Brothers Johnny, and Adam, grow up care-free in California as adopted sons of Marine veteran Mac, and friends of Iggy. Colonel Chi's military reign of terror culminates in their tiny birth-land, island state Patu San, off the Viet Nam coast.

Former royal guards officer Zatch summon the brothers to return and restore the pacific monarchy, because they are the sons of the murdered king, whom Mac took in exile for safety.

They are joined on the adventurous journey by a Californian police detective whose attention was drawn by the ninja team that failed, thanks to Zatch, to murder the brothers in Mac's home.....

I can really honestly understand why some people would think that this is a great film, it was made twenty years ago, and if I saw this when I were fifteen, I'd probably say the same thing.

I didn't, I'm thirty five and saw this last week, but it was because I had to see it, because the poster was fantastic in 1993.

Bottom line is, the film isn't very good, the leads are pretty bright and breezy and Schineider looks odd, but it rolls along at a steady pace without bothering anybody or any brain.

As for Nielsen, he really didn't need to be in this, probably just in it to attract the Naked Gun audience.

If you saw it back in the day, I envy you a little, because I missed it and so did the inner child in me.
