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.
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 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.
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"
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!
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
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
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 :)
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
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.
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!!!
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?
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.
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!
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.
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!
I don’t know why Red Eye reviews doesn’t get more views. He is as good as nostalgia critic, cinema snob, fanboy flicks, jontron, etc. His videos deserve a million views. Keep putting out product like this, and you will get those views soon enough. You are very funny and I love watching your videos of these older movies
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.
PERFECT film analysis. Siskel is dead and Ebert can't be bothered with this childhood gem. You sir have found yourself the PERFECT cottage industry: Reviewing my childhood favorites. Its like you made your channel for my inner 10 year old. THANK YOU.
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!
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!
Ahh. One of my favorite child hood movies. The adventures of Rocky, Colt and Tum-Tum. Was it a good movie? Not really. Did I care? Not at all. I had fun watching it and I still visit it every now and then as an adult
This is a review of the European/Directors cut, so in other words, it’s not the same one you saw in theaters. That being said, thank you for the awesome review of an awesome movie!
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998) has Hulk Hogan in it. It was the 4th movie. 3 Ninjas (1992) 3 Ninjas: Kick Back (1994) 3 Ninjas: Knuckle Up (1995)
"Light up the eyes!" Edit: Ooh, do you think you'll review Sidekicks one day? That's another kids' martial arts movie from the 90s that never came close to the height of The Karate Kid. Did I mention it has Chuck Norris?
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!
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. 😅
This movie was THE BEST when I was a kid! Seeing the kids play Super Mario World was the best. "We don't wanna hurt you....we just wanna KIDNAP YOU!!!!"
Martial arts is known for stopping bullying by teaching respect and self control. Bullies are usually kids who get treated shitty at home. Behavior is patterned on Behavior Red eye.
Distracted Nerd killed with his 3 Ninjas video. He pointed out that pretty much noone in the world has ever seen a ninja, but in ninja movies they fall out of the woodwork, there are just ninjas everywhere. Lol
One of those movies no one in 1992 gave much thought to and stunning it made $30 million off a $2.5 million budget (that was a huge number then) and a mini-franchise so a true sleeper success.
I remember seeing the trailer to this movie for the first time as a kid ... I was already a huge Ninja Turtle fan ... So a movie where kid's rule over the Adults I just had to see 😊
I remember when this movie was released in theaters. I sooooo wanted to watch it. Bought it on VHS when it was released... Omg me and my two brothers were obsessed for years with this one and the "third" one (knuckle up). It's kinda corny now as an adult but I'll watch it once every 10 years now strictly for the purpose of feeling nostalgic.
I've seen this movie a million times, the 3 beach bums are classic. i've also seen it enough to know that grandpa yells from the rafters to "light up the eyes" before they pick up tum tum as a battering ram. ^_^ But I understand why you did it for comedic purposes.
So, you know how at the ending of 2001 Space Odyssey time & space sort of blend together & it becomes this crazy light show of lines & color? That ending "hiya" montage did the same for me. Except instead of learning about all human evolution, I just kick things.
Also, I was listening to this one while driving home and when you said the thing about the parents needing to have the kids taken away, I laughed so hard I almost choked on my coffee and wrecked. 😂
Me and my two brothers were absolutely obsessed with this movie when it came out and we had way too much fun pretending we were the main characters. Rofl.
Man, I loved this movie as a child and revisited it later. Nostalgia is strong with this one, but it is just so darn silly.Well, fitting the premise, I guess, but still...
The kid is called Tum Tum? Well there may be a Easter egg meaning...Tom Toms were the midget enemies in the arcade game Kung-Fu Master (the NES port being called Kung-Fu) Description from the NES manual: "Tom Toms are vertically challenged and as such must be dispatched with either a Sweep Kick or a Crouching Punch. Be careful not to crouch too soon though, if you do the Tom Tom will somersault into the air, avoiding your attack and inflicting damage of his own." So I guess because the youngest kid is short?
That movie ("Ninja Kids" as it was localized) was one of the first films I saw in theaters. I must have been 8 and had never laughed so hard. Another one from that ninja craze era was Surf Ninjas, if you want to dig that one up.
No idea why comments were disabled! They are turned back on :)
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.

That quote is perfect man. You and I would of been best friends because those 3 movies were really close to me when I was a kid.
Same here, it's crazy seeing cliffton Powell playing an fbi agent, he usually plays a gangster
I love how grandpa loses 100lbs when ever he’s doing acrobatics 🤣
Hey, Egg Shen can do magic.
@@emeritus666 I love him
Well, it is good aerobic exercise!😉
@@TroubleToby3040 it’s a joke man, it’s a stun double whenever gramps is doing acrobatics in the film.
"He doesn't seem to be of sound mind either" made me cry. Good job as always . This was a constant watch in the 90's for me
This was one of those movies i watched over and over and over again. Still love it.
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"

@@halthammerzeit 😅 same
Didn't hulk hogan show up in a 3 ninjas movie at some point?
@@Vercingetorix.Fantasia Yep! he's in the High Noon one.

For years I thought the bad guy in this movie was played by Steven Segal.
For minutes I've been thinking it was Gavin Rossdale.
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
The hiyah compilation at the end was incredible, a work of art.
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 :)
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.
Door slamming is comedy gold
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
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.
Love how these children turn into full blown adults whenever they do something really acrobatic. Just spontaneously grow a foot
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!!!
Kid power, power of the kids power lol
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?
"Never fight unless you're sure you can win"......and not lose a limb.
Lesson learned
I would have LOVED having a grandpa that trained me to be a ninja!
I would have loved to have an Asian grandpa, but no half-asian parents!
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.
I remember loving their masks, it's like Ninja Turtles, Leo, Ralph and Mike are the 3 kids.
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!

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.
How do you know all of this?
So the American 3 ninjas is a REMAKE of a little known Japanese film?
I actually think 3 Ninjas Kick Back to be the best one
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
I remember watching these as a kid. Can't wait for the rest of the 3 ninjas reviews.
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.
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.
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).
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!
Colt was the coolest one of them all
Definitely wanted to b colt.
Those little kids are dangerous and the door slam gets me every time. The I-ya montage was awesome.
Omg that line about the ancient art of tea bagging was hilarious 😂😆😂😆
This movie needs a stage musical adaptation

That "hi-yah" super cut at the end was WAAYYY longer than I expected. Holy shit.
Such memories. I remember our dad renting this movie 3 times in a row. Without PERMISSION!
I used to have my one and only dirty movie inside this movie VHS cover, until my mom lended it to her friend🤣
Hahaha best comment.
Your mom sounds cool, lending her friends dirty movies like that.
Wait, your mom loaned what she perceived to be a kid's movie to a, presumably, adult friend?
@@megatronjenkins2473 to her children that was a couple of years older than me
Strong username/comment synergy.
How did I miss this for two days? This is gonna be awesome!
3 Ninjas was the first time I learned about the scary power of laxatives.
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.
Man, I actually remembered their names, Rocky,Colt and Tumtum.(BEFORE Gramps said it!)
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.
10 year old me, planning my watchlist as background noise while I played with Action figures:
“Sandlot”
“3 ninjas”
“Ninja turtles: Attack of the ooze”
You and I would've been buds growing up lol.
This might be your best one yet. You can tell you really enjoyed this

I absolutely wore out my VHS tape with this movie when I was a kid. Loved it and ran around the garden kicking left and right
I'm not entirely certain why I loved these movies as a kid. They're insane.
Because if you were a kid in the early 90s ninjas were awesome
@@jeremysiron9622Yeah, karate and ninjas was a staple in the 90s. Man I miss the 90s 😌
I loved this movie as a kid. Watch it and it's sequel so many times.

My favorite 3 ninjas is "Ernest meets Hulk Hogan"
This was my favorite movie when I was a kid! Pretty sure there’s a sequel with hulk hogan in it.
High Noon at Mega Mountain
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998) has Hulk Hogan in it. It was the 4th movie.
3 Ninjas (1992)
3 Ninjas: Kick Back (1994)
3 Ninjas: Knuckle Up (1995)
I watched this aged 10 at school as a last day of the term treat. Recess was an orgy of violence.
Holy shit, Redeye! That “Hi-ya!” edit must’ve taken you ages. You are a hero.
My man Clifton Powell snuck in the 3 ninjas. Wondering if Primms Hood cinema aware ofvthis
This reminded me of a movie called Surf Ninjas.
"Light up the eyes!"
Edit: Ooh, do you think you'll review Sidekicks one day? That's another kids' martial arts movie from the 90s that never came close to the height of The Karate Kid. Did I mention it has Chuck Norris?
watched this movie too many times as a kid....11:14 and even now this part still cracks me up
Only in a late 80's/early 90's movie would a gang that sells guns have an army of people who throws shurikens.
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!
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.
i am only 12 and i used to watch this with my brother all the time!!! the nostalgia
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! 👀

The kidnappers are like the biggest stoners ever without smoking weed 😂🤣
I would instantly believe that the Colt-kid was Jamie Lee Curtis' son.
That Rocky kid always reminded me of Jamie Lee Curtis, and he was the only one to come back to do two more of the 3 Ninjas.
This movie was THE BEST when I was a kid! Seeing the kids play Super Mario World was the best. "We don't wanna hurt you....we just wanna KIDNAP YOU!!!!"
I swear you are working from a list of every movie I watched from the age of 8-20.
Martial arts is known for stopping bullying by teaching respect and self control. Bullies are usually kids who get treated shitty at home. Behavior is patterned on Behavior Red eye.
I absolutely loved this movie when I was a kid! Tum tum is my spirit animal!!
you were right, I wasn't ready for what was about to happen in Redeye reacts :D
Thank you for getting audio of Legend of Zelda Con with all of the Link Cosplays for the end of the video. 🤣

I Remember the movie ending after the pizza line! I don’t remember them getting revenge on the bullies.

i used to watch this as a kid in the 90's, liked it WAY better than Karate Kid.
