Dudikoff and Cynthia Rothrock should have been in Expendables. They were both highly underrated action stars and deserve their due.
Michael Dudikoff Is One Cool And Talented Guy! I Met Him A Few Years Back At Costco At The Rolling Hills Shipping Center In Torrance, California.
We Talked For About An Hour And I Asked Him What He Was Working On And He Said That: "Hollywood Wouldn't Cast Him Anymore, Because They Said He Was Too Old"!!!
It's A Sad Day When Hollywood Cuts Someone's Career Short Based On Age! Michael Dudikoff Is A Great Guy And If He Ever Reads This Thread, I Hope He Remembers Our Conversation And Knows That He Still Has A Huge Fan Base And Is Loved And Remembered! ✌️
I met Michael Dudikoff some years back, a very nice guy. I asked about The Expendables, and he said he was willing but needed the fans to push for it. Stallone and the producers should tap more people who might not have been as big of stars but are remembered and entertained us.
Steve James's passed away I was SHOCKED to learn Steve had passed. He is another UNDERRATED actor R.I.P. Steve James's you'll NEVER EVER be forgotten mate 🌸🌱🌸
Glad to see this dude looks peaceful and happy.......
Still love Michael Dudikoffs timeless b-movies and low budget classics until today. Watched the American Ninja with my 10 years old son yesterday and he is directly addicted to it.
YES!😃 "Make It Happen"!😁 Michael Dudikoff is a winner for me!🤨
This guy was a big part of my childhood. My Dad introduced American Ninja to me when i was 4. Watched it everytime as a kid. Now as a young adult, still watch it🔥. My younger brother loves it too. Never gets old, Timeless Classic. Dudikoff you legend.
Dudikoff in Expendables 4 . i would love that. American Ninja❤❤
Expendables 4 hell ya. American ninja two of my favourite ninja movies when I was a boy. Dudikoff, for sure, needs to be on screen with the rest of our childhood iconic heroes, and their ilk.
Loved American Ninja 1 and 2 when I was a kid.
I'd forgotten about him. Always liked him and glad to see his still doing well.
It would be great if Stallone brings Dudikoff on the train franchise of the Expendables!!!
My childhood hero Mr Dudikoff! I still know every word to the American Ninja movies! They are still good today!! 🥰
AMEN,I loved his films back in the day. LOL.Good memories.
Fun Fact: American Ninja 4 was shot mostly in my home country, Lesotho.
It would be great to see him a future installment of The Expandables, preferably as the main villain.
Its crazy how actors can inspire and influence your life, 30 years later I was still targeting moving to Japan, now I been living in Tokyo for more than 10 years 🙏 thank you Michael!
I love seeing vids like this and finding out what happened to guys like Dudikoff, Rathrock and others that I watched in the 80's and 90's.. Man I am getting old...lol. R.I.P. Steve James
I loved the Cobra TV series, I wish they would of made another season or 2..
I remember fondly growing up watching the 1st and 2nd American Ninja movies. Him and Steve made a dynamic duo and really made the first two movies more enjoyable than the rest. The movies after that were all down hill.
I used to watch American Ninja so many times as a teenager and is one of my favorite franchise. I didn't like part 3 though how they changed actors with David Bradley although he was a legit martial artist. He didn't had that similar mysterious presence compared to Dudikoff's character how he had amnesia from the bomb explosion.
I will honour the code father
OMG this dude got totally deleted from my memory maybe for 25 years or so , absolutely 80’s-90’s legendary icon I can’t believe I’ve forgotten Michael, yes expendables 4 for sure
a clean face for a good guy, loved him as action hero back in the '90s, happy about hes fine and still around 👍
I remembered IMDB used to be the only way I ever got info about him amd for the longest time felt like no one knew him. Glad nowadays I can either go one UA-cam or Tiktok to hear what all he does.
American Ninja was Absolutely Awesome and I remember watching in the theater.
Glad to see that he didnt fade away into obscurity. But he managed to marry & start a family late in life. He lives a comfortable,chill, upper middle class life as a house flipper & family man. Hope his kids pick up martial arts too.
Much love from Poland. An icon of action cinema for sure. And wicked handsome even when pushing 70.
Michael d. Is one of my favorite action hero.
Hell yea Michael Dudikoff was one of my childhood heroes
Him & Franco Nero made me wanna be a ninja when I was a youth
When the American ninja came out I wanted to be a ninja lol I was disappointed when I found out that wasn’t a real job lol
OMG. He was one of my early crushes from American Ninja. I thought he was perfection at such a young age. He looks amazing still.
He was my hero growing up.
He's one of my Childhood hero's! I met him 4 years ago on a comic con in the Amsterdam Rai in Holland! I have a njce picture with him!🤩💯👍💪
@Lesley Hulshoff he looks like my instructor, its scary how much they look alike and is name,Michael too
@Lesley Hulshoff did Michael not like david?he seemed to not get along with his partners
he should be on the expendables why not..
In my opinion he was one of the best action actors and martial arts of the years the movie american ninja is a classic even
In a expandable i definitly would like it!
VHS FOREVER!!!
Glad to see he’s winning ! ❤
All to this point, yes, actors from the 1900s have been forgotten and this could be a once in a lifetime and I haven't seen his films in a while.😂😊😅😊
I miss movies like this so much. Everything is so dark now. You never see optimistic pro America action movies anymore. These movies were childhood favorites of mine.
Most realistic star
I Remember Having The Entire Franchise On A VHS
I have the birthday as him i always thought that was cool 😂 love the American ninja franchise and avenging force
I didnt know this guy was such a good guy , thank you for the American Ninja, for the great memories
Would love to see him in the next Expandable series if that ever happened.
I loved all these films, especially the first one and how they did not know he was a Ninjit-su and he helped them from attacking ninjas, there's an American ninja 5 with Pat Morita.
These videos are the best, good job. Love waiting to the last 3 seconds to see the advertised topic. What happened to them or more correctly,,,,, this is your life.
So many films we neer heard of. :) At least he's had a lot of work. All the power to him. He could have faded away with no reall work or any movie roles of any kind. Did like his American Ninja films. :) Good entertainment value.
Oh He'll Yeah! American Ninra vs Rocky vs Drago vs Terminator vs Transportor. LETS GO!
Beautiful life, awesome I wish can be millionaire like him soon
Always forget he was in tron. What an absolute legend
The first American Ninja is one of my favorites. He had the look but no Martial artist experience. It reminds me of Netflix's Iron Fist show, and how to do it correctly and how to do it incorrectly. It's all about the Writing & Directing.
He learned Brasilian Jiu Jitsu and another art. His movements are amazing 👏 😊
Sam firstenberg directed all the ninja movies in the 80🥷🥷 along with sho kosugi
The Scott Adkins of that time
Certifiable bad ass Ninja.
i would love to see a new America Ninja movie.
as a kid i watched these american ninja movies over and over,,so amazing
I have tromendous respect for you Michael Dudikoff by Steve Irungu Jermaine
Yes, he should be in it!
Definitely should be in the next expendables
You are legend sir
MD is my only fave H-actor, coz he's a complete package, a versatile actor.
Would have loved him to have done a buddy cop action comedy with Roddy Piper in the nineties.
I was a fan of michael and cynthia loved them . Cynthia was a great Martial Artist ,sad she was pushed on side movies .Remember I watched it on VHS , had to make a resevation in the shop 😊
A new American ninja would be dope.🤠❤
I remember this guy. And the ol cobra deadeye
Yes! Oh yes, it would be fun to see him in The Expendables. 👍
Acho ele lindo sempre assisti seus filmes
Platoon leader was A list grade movie IMO.
This dude is a goat.
I love MD❤❤❤
I loved The Shooter i dont get why People dont like this Western Masterpiece
Michael was actually vary popular in Europe in general..not just Russia.
I remember watching American ninja as a kid.Just like David Haselhoff was popular in Germany...because he was German decent.Same thing goes for Michael and Russians
He doing great 👍 👌 👏
avanging force is probably hes best movie. american ninja 2 was good also
i hope he is come back to big movie in Expendebles 4!!
Smart guy, cool guy ... Best wishes !
Hell yeah. He should have BEEN on there.
Michael dudikoff would be great in expandables if he will do it
DUDIKOFF LEGENDAIRE ACTEUR
Se olvidó decir que antes de American Ninja, Trabajo junto a Tom Hanks en Despedida de Soltero,
today his movies are cheesy but back then I loved them
My favorite American ninja scene was when he put the bucket over his head and kicked those fellow soldiers ass lol
Black Belt magazine articles said serious martial artist movie watchers immediately dislike American Ninja since they easily detected that Michael Dudikoff just like Wesley Snipes is not a real practitioner of any martial arts form. He just learned it as a full grown adult and it is obvious in the way he carried the moves.
Damn he did pretty good for himself
I know he does jiujitus avidly. Cool stuff
I love American ninja if he appears in the expendables that would be cool good luck Michael see you in the movies
The ending detailed information got stockery. Didn't realize he was in so much.
Unfortunately like so many action stars they just stop doing movies
I'm not sure but I think he spent some time teaching
I think there comes a point when so many of these stars age out because the movies are not popular anymore
I want my heroes back. what happened to the industry
I like him
The Expendables 4 yes in a ninja character role for sure
That would be awesome to see him on expendables
He should be definitely part of the Expendables Cast
I still watched American ninja on tubi.
Bachelor party was my introduction to him then I saw American ninja.
“Dynamic action movies” 🤣😂🤣 I’m going to start using that
im from redondo beach. i did not know
Legend
I have all the American Ninjas on Blu Ray.
Always wondered what happened to him. 😮
Loved Steve James 😎
he looks like Argentinian
actor, Michael Brown from
netflix series"the marked ❤️"
american badass💪💪🤘🤘💙💙
