Commentary One - director Sam Firstenberg and producer Elijah Drenner (A Rumble in the Jungle: The Making of American Ninja) return for a second commentary that offers an impressive amount of factual information. Sam Firstenberg explains that in addition to the first American Ninja film Chuck Norris rejected Avenging Force, which was apparently a much more ambitious project with a substantially bigger budget. The director admits that he considers Avenging Force to be better than the American Ninja films but clarifies that it was not as successful at the box office. There is information about the script for the second film, the casting process, the shooting in South Africa, the evolution of Michael Dudikoff and Steve James' characters, the stunt guys that were hired, David Bradley's involvement with American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt and American Ninja 4: The Annihilation, etc. This commentary first appeared on the Olive Films release of the film.

Commentary Two - this audio commentary was recorded by Sam Firstenberg and stunt coordinator BJ Davis.
