Watch 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up For Free

Touches You

Too much of everything

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I just watched all three of these movies and I couldn't recommend the first two to anyone really. The first one might be enjoyed by some kids but the second was awful.This film was shot a year after part one with the same cast and it was held up in post production and a third film was made but the third film made was actually released second. The kids in this film came back two years later and did some re-shoots and additional scenes and the boy who played Rocky actually has braces and is much taller as is the kid playing Colt.This movie isn't flawless by any means it has a very high cheese level to it, a lot of over acting and silly gags aimed at kids. The movie got a PG-13 rating because it had lots more ninja action and a few somewhat adult language bombs dropped, but nothing a kid couldn't watch. I can't imagine older kids enjoying it, but young kids would eat it up.As an adult I compared it to a Steven Seagal movie for kids with a touch of old Dukes of Hazard episodes thrown in. It had some great actors doing some not so great roles but it was fun to watch. Donal Logue was funny as one of the bad guys and Charles Napier is great in anything and makes a wonderful bad guy.The plot here was different and actually had a message which is good. It is a movie about bad guys dumping hazardous materials on an Indian reservation and the kids go in and try to put a stop to it.Fun film - I think if you like kids movies you should enjoy this one, look over flaws and goofs and cheesiness and just watch it.The worst thing about this movie was the way the kids yelled A-YAA every time they kicked or hit someone.

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.

This is probably one of the worst kidmovie I've ever seen, perhaps I wouldn't have minded so much as when I was a kid, but those darn "Hiya"'s they shouted throughout the entire movie was damn right annoying. Clichés, HUGE flaws in choreography (One could actually very well see a kick or punch never touching the 'victim' before they took a humongous fall like several feet).I have however bought this film for my kidz, and I can't wait for them to turn a bit older, just to hear their reaction about it *Chuckles / Giggles*Normally I don't write bad comments abouts movies, unless they really deserve it. This one did, big time! The most common error ppl do, is to think in their present situation, that is, as they think of movies (As in sort of an addendum to the hundreds of other movies they've seen earlier) up to date. That's the downright wrong way to judge a movie. Most ppl. forget the earlier filmtecniques (Like the first Star Wars movies, they used models in extreme closeup etc), they criticize how poorly animated a movies is/was, instead of thinking of the actual, again, techniques that was at the filmmakers disposal. A personal note on that one: I'd like to see a little bit more of both; Models + CG Animations (And I'm not talking about models of like starships and such, but characters as well, spiderman 1 was just to darn dreadful!)Well, enough bad about bad. I (In moment of writing) haven't checked out whether the director or the rest of the staff has done any other movies, for good or for worse after this one, but I sure hope they read the feedback from us users, and think from another perspective after that.Anyway, to end this:This movie could have had some potential if the plot had been a bit different, how I don't know, but at least the 'bad/dumb- guys' could have been given a little more brain (Instantly thinking of J.J (Patrick Kilpatrick) when Jack (Charles Napier) orders him to get on the horn for the goons (Or soon to be), and what does the birdbrain do? Well, go figure, he honks the horn!!? One word in one sentence: -Duh!Well, enough from me, let's hear from you...

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)
