To make one thing very clear at the beginning: he does gets his vengeance at the end but he's definitely no ninja. He does carry that black suit around along with shurikens and some other lethal shit but all his stuff gets confiscated by police when he gets arrested quite early in the movie. So maybe only that kimono gives him ninja powers, we will never know. In this flick he practices just some kind of jiujitsu (I think) and even at that he is not very good as he gets his ass kicked often.
Story is simple. Our hero is stranger on the flashy motorbike who comes into this hillbilly town full of racial prejudices, dirty law enforcement is connected with the bad guys, sheriff's daughter falls for our hero and one of the bad guys falls for her, our hero stands up against the bad guys, he eventually wins and gets the girl.All that said, it is surprising that story is not totally trivial because it has some interesting twists and our ninja does get his ass kicked a bit.
One little thing I've found interesting and somehow amusing is that leading actress Janet Pawlak is not typical blond good looking bimbo who was almost mandatory companion to main hero in this type of straight-to-video action flicks. She's just an average looking girl who could easily miss a pound or two. But don't worry, she does show her tits so movie respects unwritten laws of the genre at least in this area. Although it might still be too stressful for her, because this was her first and last film role. Which is a shame, she did a good job in this one.
