An L.A. police officer (Roddy Piper)[4] and an exchange officer from Asia (Sonny Chiba) became good friends. They are also reincarnated Mayan warriors. When their undercover drug operation at a high-end hotel fails, they are targeted by the products of an evil corporation, HybriCo run by Quinn (Meg Foster). Foster is known for producing invincible, ninja warriors for international distribution. An unstoppable monster named Lister causes mayhem for the heroes. Deron McBee,[5] fresh off his stint as Malibu on American Gladiators plays the final heavy "Signature Killer." It served an excellent audition for a later role in Mortal Kombat.[6] And it turns out, if you behead them or burn them with fire, they are not so immortal.[7]
