Comparison between the cut British video casette by Pathe Video (BBFC 18) and the uncut British DVD by MGM/Fox (BBFC 18)
In the series' third installment, David Bradley takes over from Michael Dudikoff as the "American Ninja". Unfortunately, the series doesn't really get better by that. Fortunately, Steve James is still there as Curtis Jackson, providing several catch phrases. For the video release in Great Britain, this part (as every one of the series') was relieved of scenes depicting nunchakus and throwing stars. The later DVD release is uncensored. Special Thanks to Il Gobbo for providing the uncut version! Cut Version = 84:47 Min. Uncut Version = 86:08 Min. 00:00 The MGM Logo is contained in the DVD version's beginning.
