I watched his criticism video on Space Jam and of course I disagreed. I’m aware that the movie was made from Nike commercials with Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny but it was actually perfect entertainment for kids in 1996.

Yeah, I loved these as a kid. But I thought everything after 2 was trash. Because most of the original kids were gone. Funny how I was pretty snobby about a pretty bad series. lol
eh I liked it. I can't be the only one either since it had 3 sequels. that doesn't make it good, and it's certainly not a work of art, but I found it entertaining.

XRIFT CHANNELX10 yea, and I can't believe he wasn't able to figure out that "cake" is just a shorter way of saying "piece of cake", which ofcourse, means something should be easy...or at least it was when I was growing up.
Isn't that the one where one of the guys with the surfer accent goes, "Oh dude, I gotta take a dump" or something to that effect? If so, that's the only scene I remember, too.
I remember going to see this in the Theatre when I wasa kid, the most memorable part being that my dad and I were the only people there, completely empty the whole movie. That was awesome for me though, because after seeing all the martial arts and eating twizzlers for a sugar high, I forwards rolled all the way down he aisles, It was great.
I saw it at the theater with my dad as well except in our case the theater was pretty packed...many kids including myself came out of the movie doing ninja moves until our parents made us all calm down.
“Simpler times?” Not as a whole. There wasn’t GPS in the 90s so it made getting to places harder. Now that there’s GPS it’s so much easier finding places you’ve never been to before
Gps is a complex technology that literally nobody could give you the correct definition to unless they were looking at dictionary. So yes, these were far simpler times. Learn how to read a map. That’s how simple it was to get around back then.
What do you think the plot is? The Culkin character would have to be half Kraang, like April, but the difference is that he'd be loyal to his second species.
The first TMNT movie wasn't all THAT family friendly. It was based on the comic and started being made before the cartoon was a thing, and it's full of swearing.
Yes exactly. Which is why they went downhill with the sequels. Parents of fans were complaining that the first movie was too dark and rough so they went soft with the second and third ones and ruined the franchise
no. it's not. the expression is "piece of cake". no one says just "cake". at least not without someone saying "did you just say cake? what the fuck is wrong with you?" and then beating them up. Doug was right, and I'm sure he knew of "piece of cake". it's the shortened version that this stupid movie tries to make look cool that's in question, and yeah, it's dumb.
I was born in 1997 and I grew up with this movie on VHS, it was probably one of my favorite movies when I was 4. I will always be nostalgic of this movie, I don't care what other people say about it.
Wow! I was born in 87 and my older sister and I rented it 1 time. I don’t remember what i actually thought of it but I can definitely say now that it’s your typical corny pile of dogshit kids movie. I never showed it to my kids. But I can totally relate to what you’re saying with Space Jam… I watched Doug’s video on that one and I could care less what he said, it’ll always have a special place in my heart because I loved it as a kid when in came out in 96. I know it hasn’t aged all that well, however it’s still considered a classic and way better than the pointless sequel in 2021 with LeBron James
7:02 Really? I saw the movie on Vudu and Fester does fire his gun in the convenience store. And it's not like they're supposed to shoot the kids, they’re trying to kidnap them. They want them _alive._
A really bizzare fact about this movie: The father of Max Elliott Slade ( one of the actors who played one of the 3 Ninjas), John Slade, was my English teacher in high school. In his classroom, he had a poster of 3 Ninjas hanged up.
Ok look, nothing to do with your comment, but HOPEFULLY some amount of RUclips ding will get a response. When do ya'll think you're going to catch up on your vlogs? They are all great, very entertaining, and I know I'm not alone in loving the series. If you guys can't do them anymore, let us know... it's painful checking everyday for the hopes of something coming up!
This was one of the first movies i saw.....EVER. As a kid....i loved this movie. Its so cheesy, so corny so.......insert word here....its childhood. Great video!
+Fat6amer so were the neon cloths and pretty much all lingo of the time. the same can be said for every decade. there was no decade that was absolutely perfect.
"Parents would have a heart attack..." Eh, it was made in 1992, man. When I was 12 (not long before that), I had legit ninja stars, bowie knives, my own hunting rifles and a hand gun and could buy martial arts weapons through adverts in comic books, no questions asked. Kids and parents of the 80s weren't pussies, that PC helicopter parenting stuff didn't start until the late 90s, 2000s.
I actually think a crossover with those two movies would be really cool, especially if they get permission from the original owners and tell the story well. By the way, did they need to get rights from 'TMNT' & 'Home Alone'?
0:17. Family friendly”? I don’t think “Home Alone” is really that family friendly. Pretty violent when a little kid nail guns a man and does other sadistic stuff to two men.
5:06 Come on Critic, I know this was 2008 when you aired this, but cake was short slang for "Piece of cake". Meaning 'easy' or no problem'. You're not that old to not know kids love to shortened word lingo..
Oh come on Doug, this movie, and "Surf Ninjas" were just going on the "ninja hype" back then. They were marketed as dumb entertainment for kids... and they were good for just that. Yes, it was terrible for anyone over the age of 10.. and the movies werent made for anyone older. It did what it was supposed to do for the right age group.
Grandpa uses his ninja stealth skills to replace himself with his stunt double in between shots. That's why he appears taller and lighter during his fight scenes.
I liked it a lot as a kid... I mean not as much as Home Alone or TMNT, but it was a nice alternative to those whenever I wanted to pop in a different VHS. The only thing I could never stand is how cheaply they had them both be ninjas AND have them fight criminals: their grandfather is a ninja master *AND* their father is an FBI agent. I mean only one of either would already be unprobable, but having them both together made me lose all the identification with the kids.
***** lol i havent herd anyone use cake walk beside once or twice and a piece of cake is a lot more common i dont know why cake walk was the first thing that came to my head and i swear i didn't make cake walk up lol look it up its a real thing

Yeah, that’s how it is for most of us. When I was a kid, I liked adam sandler. But when I matured I realized what a loser he is and how pathetic his shit style of comedy actually is. All adam sandler movies are bullshit, ALL…. Yes, even the old ones 😉 To all of his fans who say that his newer movies aren’t funny… he NEVER was funny. He just got worse. He’s literally the biggest loser to ever make it in Hollywood
My friends and I saw this at a summer camp field trip, and we were obsessed afterward. You have no idea how popular that “We should kick their butts!” line was, lol. I actually used to picture Splinter and the turtles in some of the early training scenes, plus the naming scene, lol. Oddly enough we didn’t make the Home Alone connection.
Am I the only person who thinks crossing TMNT and Home Alone sounds like a great idea? I've not seen 3 Ninjas for a few years and beyond the plural of ninja is ninja and they're obviously doing taekwondo in the movie and not ninjutsu bugging me, I remember it being much fun. Also playing Spot Grandpa's Stunt Double is fun xD
not really defending the movie, but it doesn't take a lot of brain cells to connect "cake" with "piece of cake" as in "this will be easy", have you never heard that saying before? "this will be a piece of cake", again i'm not defending the movie but that was a pretty weak point to get mad at.
In real life Ninjas often dressed as peasents, which is technixally not even a disguise as they were peasents. And in the dark they wore very dark blue, not black. Along with this they were not trained in combat, as they were centred around espionouge. And they expecially didn't carry around Katanas. Not only were Katanas shiny and drew alot of blood, but they were also expensive and a symbol of the class that they fought against. Most Ninja techniques involved around escape and sitracting your opponent. Shurikens were actually used as distractions rather than weapons, and when used as weapons they were used to cut at close range, not to be thrown.
The second one was ok as a kid I think the other 2 came years later and weren't the original kids so I may have never even seen those 2, they looked awful
Cake. Like a piece of cake. We said it all the time as kids. Maybe because of this movie. We knew what it meant and we were 7. Man, this guy. Never saw it as a kid? Colt was the popular one to be on the playground. Good nostalgia. Doesn’t seem like you remember’d shit. Just watched it as too effin loud adult.
LITTLE GRIM FACT: The guy who directed “3 ninjas knuckle up” was a man named Shin Sang-ok, who went under the pseudonym "Simon Sheen" in the credits. This director was held hostage for 8 years in North Korea with his wife and they were forced to make movies until they managed to escape.

NO HATE ON 3 NINJAS. MY FAVORITE 90's MOVIE.
I loved this movie! In fact I credit these movies for my love of kung fu movies.
Same here. I mostly love the first 3 movies. The martial arts were always the best parts of the movie
"When did cake become a popular slang?"
TOP KEK
I loved this movie as a kid. :3 So nostalgic. Still probably would love it and its sequels.
Am I the only person who thinks crossing TMNT and Home Alone sounds like a great idea? I've not seen 3 Ninjas for a few years and beyond the plural of ninja is ninja and they're obviously doing taekwondo in the movie and not ninjutsu bugging me, I remember it being much fun. Also playing Spot Grandpa's Stunt Double is fun xD
I watched it multiple times as kid... I love it no matter how silly it is
You know. Instead of jellybeans, using legos would've been the real ninja move.
9:34 tbh though he did try to choke him to death with jelly beans
So i just went and watched the whole series in a row. This is the best out of the series by far
not really defending the movie, but it doesn't take a lot of brain cells to connect "cake" with "piece of cake" as in "this will be easy", have you never heard that saying before? "this will be a piece of cake", again i'm not defending the movie but that was a pretty weak point to get mad at.
The cake is a lie...
Let them eat cake...
Caked on...
Cake the satan worshipping corpse of the fallen autobots...
:^)
In real life Ninjas often dressed as peasents, which is technixally not even a disguise as they were peasents. And in the dark they wore very dark blue, not black.
Along with this they were not trained in combat, as they were centred around espionouge. And they expecially didn't carry around Katanas. Not only were Katanas shiny and drew alot of blood, but they were also expensive and a symbol of the class that they fought against.
Most Ninja techniques involved around escape and sitracting your opponent. Shurikens were actually used as distractions rather than weapons, and when used as weapons they were used to cut at close range, not to be thrown.
There was actually a sequels called: 3 Ninja's Kick Back, 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up, and 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain
All good or bad?
All bad.
Emperor Squidy It does feeled ripped off...
The second one was ok as a kid I think the other 2 came years later and weren't the original kids so I may have never even seen those 2, they looked awful
Jim Duggan Even the one with Hulk Hogan?
Cake. Like a piece of cake. We said it all the time as kids. Maybe because of this movie. We knew what it meant and we were 7. Man, this guy. Never saw it as a kid? Colt was the popular one to be on the playground. Good nostalgia. Doesn’t seem like you remember’d shit. Just watched it as too effin loud adult.
Holy mother of God I think I've seen this review the year it came out I am so old
so you're 8? that's really not old.

LITTLE GRIM FACT:
The guy who directed “3 ninjas knuckle up” was a man named Shin Sang-ok, who went under the pseudonym "Simon Sheen" in the credits. This director was held hostage for 8 years in North Korea with his wife and they were forced to make movies until they managed to escape.
