Review of 3 Ninjas Kick Back (1994) by Sessy T — 10 Aug 2007

I feel like giving this movie a far more in-depth review than it deserves, just because.

This series was a childhood staple, so I couldn't possibly give it any less than three stars for sentimental reasons. Rocky, Colt, and Tum-Tum were household names, and I spent more than one afternoon practicing my "eyahs" in a vain effort to be as cool as this trio of ninjas.

My main dissappointment with this film was that Colt was the only one of the three ninjas to come back for a sequel. An indefinite ammount of time has passed since their last crazy adventure, and yet Tum-Tum looks about three years younger, Colt is exactly the same, and Rocky aged at least four years.

Not to say this film didn't have its merits. I did thoroughly enjoy the not one, but three Japanese rap montages included in this film. Rocky gave enough moral-boosting speeches to shame even "The Goonies", and there was enough nonstop ninja action for the whole family.

So, if you have kids, or you're a kid at heart...see these movies as soon as you can. Run to Blockbuster. Now.
