Trivia
A number of high-level defectors from the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea have stated that 3 Ninjas Kick Back was a childhood favorite of Kim Jong Un, now Supreme Chancellor of the DPRK. He was apparently so taken with the film that his father, Kim Jong Il, reportedly commissioned a remake with Korean actors.

Goofs
After Colt hits the home run to end the final game, he takes his helmet off before he reaches second base. In baseball, this would result in his run not counting. This would cause the game to be tied instead of over.

Quotes
Night Club Manager: What'd you say the name of your band was called?
Glam, Vinnie: Mondo Diarrhea.
Slam: Alien Vomit.

Alternate versions
For the UK theatrical release, 42 seconds of cuts were required to secure a 'U' rating.

cool

Growing up, I really loved these movies. Sean Fox was the end-all be-all for me. I don't think that now, but I love this movie. The action, although corny, is still really awesome. Again, this is NO JACKIE CHAN, by any standards. But still, little kids as ninjas?? Also, Miyo was cool. Adding that little love story between her and Rocky was a given, but it was sweet. I love the part when he totally screws up the pitch because he keeps on thinking there are Lisa DiMarino's everywhere. And, "We should run!" "We should hide!" "LET'S KICK THEIR BUTTS!!!!!!!" LOL!

Again, I really am a kiddie-movie person, but I love this movie. If you're the same kind of person, rent this movie!!!
