    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      When Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum are spying on the meeting between Jack and the mayor, the two men agree that the hearing will be held on the following day. That night, the three boys and Jo rescue Jo's father. The next morning, the boys are exhausted and Tum Tum falls asleep leaning against the refrigerator. That night, they attend the Native American ceremony and Grandpa helps them fight off J.J. and his men. The next morning is the hearing. This means that the hearing actually started two days after the meeting.

      Colt: Nah.

      Rocky: Yes, you are!

      Rocky and Tum Tum: [making kissing sounds; chanting] Colt's going to kiss Jo! Colt's going to kiss Jo! Colt's going to kiss Jo!

    A PG-13 kids' movie...
    Atrocious second (but not last!) "3 Ninjas" sequel sees the infamous trio trying to save their friend Joe from a toxic waste company. Good LORD this stuff is awful! They made the apparently final film in 1998 with Hulk Hogan. Please let it be the last!
