    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      There's a real "Surf Ninjas" game for the Sega Game Gear, but it's completely different from what Adam was playing. However, the game Adam plays in the movie is also real. It was developed by Sega exclusively for use in the movie only.
    • Goofs
      After they cut surfboards out of the trees and begin surfing on them, one of them is using an ankle cuff, attaching the surfer to the surfboard.
    • Quotes

      Johnny: How did you get out of those hand cuffs?

      Lt. Spence: I had a key.

      Johnny: Where, we searched you?

      Lt. Spence: I swallowed it last Tuesday.

      Adam: How'd you know you were gonna need it?

      Lt. Spence: I swallow it every Tuesday.

    My Favorite Movie
    Everything about this movie is ridiculous. The plot is dumb, the characters are cheesy, as the jokes are lame. It is one of the most hysterical movies I have ever watched.

    I saw it first when I was about 10 because my little brother was on a ninja movies kick. I think I liked it better than he did. Of course, back then I thought Johnny was cute.

    I'm quite a lot older now, and this movie still makes me laugh as I hard today as I did then. As pathetic as this movie is, it has to be my favorite.

    I think everyone on the planet should see this movie at least a dozen times. It's not a cinematic masterpiece, but it's worth every minute.
