Childhood Memories Ep.04-3 Ninjas(1992) Movie Review

Episode four of childhood memories, my review of 3 Ninjas(1992) starring Victor Wong, Michael Treanor, Max Elliott Slade, Chad Power, Rand Kingsley, Alan McRae, Margarita Franco, Kate Sargeant, and Joel Swetow. Directed by Jon Turteltaub.

Trivia

Colt was originally named Pony.

The video game the boys play in their room is Super Mario Bros. 3 for the 8-Bit Nintendo NES System. Similarly, the box for this system appears in the boys' closet later in the film.

Hammer wears a Metallica shirt and puts up stickers of the different Metallica albums in the phone booth.

The American version of the film cut numerous parts of scenes, most likely to secure a PG rating.

In the original international version, the boys lost the basketball challenge, and a scene was at the end of the movie to tidy up loose ends.

The international version of the movie featuring the scenes removed from the American version has never been released on home video in the United States, although it has aired on the WAM! movie network.

Released on the big-screen with the Disney cartoon short, Bonkers: Pedal to the metal in front of the film.

oh yeah, for all u who think 3 Ninjas copies TMNT and Home Alone because of what Boston Globe said on the DVD and VHS covers because Boston Globe Dissed Home Alone and TMNT

the first one was the best because it was Practically from Disney (Touchstone Pictures is a sister studio to Disney)

Solid review Mike. I remember thinking the film was alright, not too bad, decent family flick. I did grow up with the first flick as well.

great review mike

looking back at this movie as an adult I can still enjoy it as well, but more for nostalgia and for the way it was made.

even now I love how over the top and cartoony snyder. how they beat him is so cartoony.

I agree that the HIYA yelling at the top of their lungs gets annoying.
