In the late 1980s, there were many big Hollywood movie stars. But the most surprising is Michael Dudikoff.
Because Michael Dudikoff is striking, because he is different than Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Steven Seagal, Jean Claude van Damme.
They are action movie stars who have a background as martial artists. Meanwhile, Michael Dudikoff comes from the world of modeling.

Michael Dudikoff first appeared on camera in 1978 in the legendary Dallas series. Two years later, he made his film debut in The Black Marble. He then starred alongside Tom Hanks in Men’s Ride.
Michael Dudikoff’s breakthrough was American Ninja in 1985. One of the films that made his name even stronger in Asia.
But actually Michael Dudikoff had no martial arts experience until the film was made. She is just a model who trained in athletics, gymnastics, dance and swimming. In addition to being a model, she is dedicated to triathlon and surfing.
Michael Dudikoff later also took combat sports seriously and gradually gained experience in training in Brazilian karate, aikido, judo and jiu-jitsu.
American Ninja 2 was then released in 1987. The action movie is simple but always finds its audience.
But it was also the last step in his career. Because he has an expiring contract with Cannon Films, a production company that continues to promise a career for Michael Dudikoff.

However, that promise has never arrived until now. Cannon Films went bankrupt in the mid-1990s, Dudikoff lost ground after 1993’s Cobra. Since then, he has made lousy films that even fans no longer care about.
In 2002, Michael Dudikoff decided to take a break. He quit acting and started repairing an old property he bought, then got married in 2004, spending his life with his family.
Michael Dudikoff’s career seemed to die in a short time. In contrast to the row of fighting star names in the Hollywood generation.
