No idea why comments were disabled! They are turned back on :)

[@SirKnight1096]

Great movies. I still re-watch the 3 Ninjas series of films. I also like Surf Ninjas with Rob Schneider in it. These movies are 10 million times better than most films today. No matter how cheap or cheesy they seem.

[@Vercingetorix.Fantasia]

Noticed that . I clicked this so fast and thought where's the damn comments? Redeye playing it ultra safe with 3 ninjas.

This movie is a solid, joyful memory of my childhood - saw it in theatres with my mom and still love it to this day. This movie, along with Surf Ninjas and Sidekicks all share a room in my happy place. Slow it... Slowin' down... slooooow it... slooowin down... boop

[@RedEyeReviews]

That's a great memory! I will be doing Surf Ninjas version soon

[@nickurchin9579]

@@RedEyeReviews Right on. These movies are the dictionary (although who knows with today's dictionaries) definition of corny and formulaic but holy cannoli are they ever wholesome. Need more wholesome these days. Keep up the great work, man.

This was one of those movies i watched over and over and over again. Still love it.

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

An absolute necessity for 90s kids to watch, these movies + Ninja Turtles made ninjas the coolest thing in the world. So many great one liners as well "Rocky loves Emily"

[@dasdeke]

I remember seeing this as a kid, and STILL thinking it was ridiculous! This totally deserved the Redeye treatment! you should do the rest of the 3 ninja movies, specially High Noon at Mega Mountain!

[@halthammerzeit]

Same here. But it proves nothing. I thought Segal movie was legit too.

[@37Kilo2]

I re-watched this last year, at 40, I expected to hate it, but I laughed out loud a bunch of times, and for the most part, I enjoyed it. Thank you for the "Hiya" montage at the end there, that's the one thing I hated about the movie.

[@thealcohologist8624]

Cant even begin to count the amount of times ive saw this film as a kid. Always loved it, thanks for covering it and reminding me of my childhood. God bless the 90s

[@lfroncek]

I like how they were gone all summer but mom still didn't finish redoing the room at the end of the hall.

[@kryten09]

Memories of little league baseball, watching this on VHS when I got home with some Capri-suns and sour gummy worms. The 90's were an awesome childhood! And yes, I used some of their moves in fights I got into with bullies and they actually worked lol

[@AnonymoussuomynonA]

The hiyah compilation at the end was incredible, a work of art.

[@coss1]

Hilarious editing moments: 1. The obvious stunt man wearing the grandpa wig and beard during the opening fight at Grandpa's house. 2. The obvious surface that Rocky steps on when he's dunking the ball during the basketball scene(it was portrayed like he just jumped that high and far). Kid power, ahhhhhhh eeeeeeee yeaaaa!!!!!! HIYAH!!!

[@emersonv]

Kid power, power of the kids power lol

[@rickalajjouri5614]

For years I thought the bad guy in this movie was played by Steven Segal.

[@charlesrense5199]

For minutes I've been thinking it was Gavin Rossdale.

[@WheeledHamster]

I remember loving their masks, it's like Ninja Turtles, Leo, Ralph and Mike are the 3 kids.

[@ProBreakers]

I’ve got to admit a few scenes in this made me laugh, like the door slamming back on the 3 kidnappers and that 1 bad ninja hitting his buddies behind him with his nunchucks :)

[@michaelleoanrd194]

I've always loved the line "We don't want the hurt you.... we just want to KIDNAP you!" So much better than this movie deserved.

[@ghostface320]

Door slamming is comedy gold

[@robertchavez8759]

I like the part when Colt was like " oh no 😲 Robbers " and the Surfer Dudes responded with " Robbers ??? ... I thought we were kidnappers " 😂😂😂 they were so funny

[@Thebigskullman]

The idea that these ninjas use swords (inc. grandpa yoda in his 1-on-1 at 14:00) in this movie is kinda crazy. Like what if grandpa actually hit the dude and lopped off an arm in front of the kids?

[@sauce961]

"Never fight unless you're sure you can win"......and not lose a limb. Lesson learned

[@valkyrie9646]

I would have LOVED having a grandpa that trained me to be a ninja!

[@charlesrense5199]

I would have loved to have an Asian grandpa, but no half-asian parents!

[@ronm7114]

I had one, yeah its great being a ninja. Sorry your grandpa wasn't one. But you know what? We cant just all be ninja's you know. As the old ninja saying goes: Man must accept his faith, even if that means (or imposes) death. To a ninja death means nothing though.

[@brycestrife5605]

I woke up and watched half of this getting ready for work, now I'm finishing after work and I realize how much I appreciate the channel. Great comforting viewing. Thanks buddy, Can't wait to see what ya got next!

[@nickTeeKaystrickland]

Love how these children turn into full blown adults whenever they do something really acrobatic. Just spontaneously grow a foot

[@lisaleonard9874]

Omg that line about the ancient art of tea bagging was hilarious 😂😆😂😆

[@mayuyumiwazaki8769]

Ninjas were the cool thing during late 80's and early 90's. The amount of ninjas in media during that time is crazy, all thanks to TMNT i guess.

[@seanharrison933]

don't forget about G.I. Joe which came to revolve more and more around the ninja Snake Eyes (who wasn't even originally a ninja).

[@ericdanielsbenavidez5867]

Dude, the main kid bully with the cap is the same kid that played dough boy as a child with ice cube in boy's in the hood.

[@sadpacman3290]

I LOVED this movie as a kid. And now I think I'm finally ready to watch it again. For about a year or so as a kid, I really wanted to be Colt. Thank you for the entertainment once again!

[@TheMcC07]

Can't wait for the RedEye review on all the other 3 Ninja's movies. I'm surprised there wasn't a 3 Ninjas: High School Musical edition at this point.

[@coss1]

There's a Japanese version of this film(the American version came after) that is extremely hard to find called "three little ninja kids" or something like that. There's a part one and two. I'm in my late 30s now, but this movie was a staple of my childhood in the 90s. Please do the entire series, especially 3 NINJAS KICK BACK where two of the three brothers get recasted. The sequels were released out of order so Kick Back was originally intended to be part 3, not 2.

[@Vercingetorix.Fantasia]

How do you know all of this? So the American 3 ninjas is a REMAKE of a little known Japanese film?

[@MisterX867]

I actually think 3 Ninjas Kick Back to be the best one

[@robertchavez8759]

He's right I heard on another review video that the Japanese version he is speaking of is Korean emperor Kim Jong Un favorite movie

[@GreenGhostCommunications]

Rocky loves Emily. I wanted to be Colt when I was a kid. The blue mask was clearly superior. 🥶

[@michaelk8860]

I remember seeing this over summer vacation in the theater. Can't go wrong with a movie that features Egg Shen and Odd Job. Also, your dog is ADORABLE!

[@snifflindrake3283]

The violence montage at the end was phenomenal! Remember the boxing episode of “The Adventures of Briscoe County JR.” a year or so later that pretty much nailed the coffin closed for that show? It doesn’t hold a flickering candle light of flame to this nonsense! Oh, the scarred children of the nineties! They’re pain brought forth The Millennials! 😂 Hey Redeye! The Adventures of Briscoe County JR. Is a show that totally needs to be remembered!

[@nickurchin9579]

Agree. Forgot about that show and how awesome it was. Parker Lewis Can't Lose or something like that is coming to mind as well.

You know how you can say a word over and over again, and it loses all meaning after a little bit... That's "Hi YA!" for me during that montage! 👀 Fantastic job on this movie. It's a real blast from the past, as I was about the age of the protag kids when it came out. It influenced me to start taking martial arts classes, which have saved my life. So mathematically, this movie TECHNICALLY saved my life. 😅

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

I was definitely not ready for 17:15 - 18:47. I tried to count the number of "HIYA!"s, but blacked out somewhere around the 17:50ish mark. It broke my brain. Hiyah! Hiyah! HIYEAH! HIAAAAYAA! Hiyaaah!

I had totally forgotten about this movie but seeing it again brought me right back to the 90's. I remember how much of a fad it was back then for kids to take karate lessons, and so naturally I liked this at the time.

I remember when this movie was released in theaters. I sooooo wanted to watch it. Bought it on VHS when it was released...
