This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

If you need a laugh at how pathetic movies can get. I know, this movie was made in '95, but still. It sucks ass. I don't understand who would want to do a movie about little karate kids who think they're cool beating up bad guys. What the hell, it's not cool. They must've been paid a lot to do this film.I have no idea how many times they used that "Hiya!" in this film, or in any of the others (this is the one and only one I've seen)Not only was this movie and the other ones stupid, it's so unrealistic. I saw almost every hit in that movie not even cross the face of the bad guys. If your gonna make a scene with violence, do it right.I would give this a .5, but since you can't, I'm giving it a 1.This movie SUCKS. Good day.

I like this movie a lot because it had a lot of action and it was exciting. It didn't have a lot of bad language which made it more enjoyable for all ages. The cast did a wonderful job in this film and I wish I could do all the things that the 3 Ninjas did.

One would think that after the previous two adrenaline-soaked installments in this series that the franchise would run out of steam, but instead of moving forward at the breakneck speed one would expect, instead it slows down and looks inward, finding fertile new ground to explore. One such example is when the boys first meet their native american uncle, and are illuminated to the ecological problems in our consumer specific culture. Not since "Fire Down Below", has their plight been so real that you cannot ignore it, and must hold yourself to blame. Another prime example is when Tum Tum runs afoul of the Yakuza, and his brothers steadfast protection of him in the face of danger. A bold, artistic statement, Three Ninjas Knuckle Up gives up the way of punches and kicks, and chooses the love of family over blitzkreig martial arts shenanigans in what is the most refreshing film of the year, and a prime candidate for film preservation. (All things said, I must admit that my review may be a little biased, being that I played "Ninja who gets hit in the crotch #3", so I hope you'll bear with me)

It's interesting to see the different responses to the 3 Ninjas series. Many of them are from older, 'wiser' guys who snicker at the sight of seeing teen and preteen boys kick the livin daylights outta grown men with bats. Well, check your egos at the door because the beauty of martial arts is that size doesn't matter, if you can believe it. And neither does age. This movie also provides a glimpse into Native American culture which is much appreciated since they aren't represented much in Hollywood. I'd take Mike Treanor (Rocky), Max Elliot Slade (Colt), and Chad Power (Tum Tum) over Schwartzeneggar, Van Damme and the lot of Hollywood martial arts/action hero actors any day. At least these kids are funny.
