      Kosugi's voice is not dubbed, as it was in "Enter the Ninja, "Revenge of the Ninja", and Ninja III: the Domination"
    • Goofs
      At the end, when they sink the soviet ship, it is obviously a scale model being blown up. Seen particularly by the size of the waves in comparison to the "ship".

    Seems every time Van Damme plays a bad guy he does his mute method acting

    Black Eagle was released a few months after Van Damme became a star with Bloodsport. The film could have made Van Damme a wash up but luckily he didn't. The martial arts chorography in the film is very sloppy and the fight scene between Sho Khogusi and Van Damme is weak. Skip this one.
