Synopsis

In this five-part mini-series, Chuck Norris served as a special agent to the President, defending the country (and by extension, the world) from evil megalomaniac The Claw and his organization Vulture. Added martial arts danger came in the form of the Super Ninja, a masked man with a swift foot. The Kommandos themselves were a special unit of crack fighters—samurai Kimo, ninja Reed, sumo Tabe, and beautiful young female Pepper.

Production notes

The producers hired a psychiatrist to supervise a "pro-social" message ending each episode.
