3 Ninjas was a surprising box-office hit with the Saturday matinee family crowd, earning the highest cost-to-profit ratio of that year and instantly mandating this all-too-unnecessary sequel.

Rated: 1.5/4

Fantasy is one thing. 3 Ninjas Kick Back is something else entirely: junk food laced with testosterone.

Loud, callow, jejune, infantile, puerile and annoying as hell.

Ok so it’s of course not as good as the 1st one and the recasting of two brothers really ticked me off when I was a kid but still not a bad movie for a kid and definitely should be higher percentage..a lot of HILARIOUS moments like the original!

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
