    • 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.

    Bad, bad, bad
    Did a sequel really need to be made? Was the first movie that big a success? The series gets even worse after this one, and I am left wondering how far the premise of three kids beating up any bad guys that dare show themselves can be taken.
