I Love This Movie Because They Are Hilarious. If I Had The opportunity To Bring Something Back It Will Be This Movie. The Story line Is Great The Bad Guys Are Funny We Need More Action movies From The 3 Ninja Kids Like This On The Big Screen. You See i Think That If We Can Get An Old Ninja Master Who Will Take Victor Wong Place, I Was Thinking Sammo Hung Will Be Perfect. Finding The Best And Talent Kung Fu kids Will Have To be Auditioned. The Story line Will Be Simular Adding All 4 3 Ninja Movie Putting Them Together.But One Of The Brother Get Kidnapped. You See People Respond To Action And Comedy. Thats Why This Was The Greatest I Loved It.

3 Ninjas was a classic and really good kids family film. A kick-butt action-comedy-family film. The boys, Michael Treanor, Max Elliott Slade, and Chad Power were so awesome! 3 Ninjas was funny and full of true Martial Arts. Victor Wong who starred as Grandpa he did great and connected very well with the boys. Jon Turteltaub who directed film. Awesome job! Edward Emanuel and Kenny Kim thanks for writing such a amazing kick-butt story. 3 Ninjas rock!We all remember watching this as a kid and watching it via Television whenever it showed. 3 Ninjas was always joy to watch because truly it rocks and kicks-butt. There's nothing negative about the film itself. I recommend for everyone and you should check it out if you haven't today. 3 Ninjas will rock your world! these boys were wonderful.

The Douglas boys spend their summers and weekends with their grandfather Tanaka, a martial arts expert who, despite his age is still very able and is teaching the boys ninja skills. Their father is an FBI agent, currently trying to capture the criminal giant that is Hugo Snyder. However Snyder is also a former partner of Tanaka and uses this relationship to get close to the his foil's three sons. With Snyder planning a large missile sale to the Middle East, he gets associate Brown to use three lackeys to kidnap the children just in case. However, he doesn't reckon on the skills of the kids and the stupidity of his men.Call me a sucker for punishment but after watching two of the later 3 Ninjas films I figured that I should at least get myself some explanation as to why more than one film had been made. I assumed that the first film must have been good enough to be successful and by extension have made enough money to have justified sequels to a fan-base loyal enough to cover the costs regardless of the product. However watching the first film left me all the more mystified because it turns out that this film series was cheap and poor quality from the very start. The plot is the usual stuff where the boy use their skills to help foil some criminal adults, in this case a criminal that their fed father is chasing. It is predictable fare and all it does is produce some Home Alone style fights.If these were funny and exciting then the film would have its salvation but sadly this is far from the case. The fights are poorly put together with simple moves and nothing in the way of imagination about them. The comedy is basic as well, which is a shame because good physical comedy tends to cover a large age range of viewers but here it is nothing more than simple pratfalls. Turteltaud's direction is a matter of stringing together static shots while the use of music to convey danger or, more often, "wackiness" is just painful. I would lay into the acting of the children but suffice to say that they delver just as much as you would expect. The adults are no better with Wong taking it too serious and McRae and Franco offering nothing. If nothing else at least Kingsley and Swetow have the good taste to be hammy fun.Overall then, few people will be surprised by the quality of this film. It is cheaply done with unimaginative writing and action. The only surprise is that despite this the film managed to churn out some sort of puerile franchise out of these distinctly inauspicious beginning.
