The film concerns a near future when the World Health Organization prohibits globally on all human cloning. However a discovery creates genetically engineered. Nova Corporation hires to Madsen (Sam Bottoms), a tough bounty hunter with bad liver. He sets off in pursuit Takeru (Funaki), a perfect ninja clone with extraordinary strength and agility. He has been created by a scientist named Dr Oh(Pat Morita), Madsen must destroy Oh's lab about replication of enhanced human beings and any clones and the killer Ninja. But the laboratory explodes and Tareku on the loose. Madsen is helped by the lovely Dr. Foster (Alexandra Kemp) and taking on another Doctor who is developing the Alpha phase project containing 256 live specimen failed prototypes with physical deformation and mental incapacitation. The Doctor creates a new perfect killing machine, as disposal required, a teen named Kismet, a miraculous advance in slickness and intelligence. Meanwhile, a gunrunner (Fred Williamson) hands over Madsen weapons and Ninja arms such as Shuriken and Katana.
The picture is a low budget actioner with suspense, spectacular fights, and crude violence. The movie displays nice choreographic struggles with punches and kicks and sensational bounds and leaps by the killer Ninja. Wooden acting by Sam Bottoms, an actor whose career began splendidly (Apocalypse now, Bronco Billy) but failed, continuing with television movies; plus, Alexandra Kemp, a German actress playing several B films (Sumuru, Dracula 3000, Space travesty), furthermore Noriyuki Pat (Pat Morita of Karate Kid, recently deceased), Fred Williamson, a Blaxploitation King and a child played Taylor Lautner. The motion picture was regularly directed by Yokoyama, an usual stunts coordinator and habitual director of Power Rangers episodes. Rating: Mediocre but some moments result to be entertaining.
