Where to Watch 3 Ninjas
3 Ninjas Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooJuly 1, 2025Falls short on adult casting (the bad guy is glorified stunt double). Take it for the 90s nonsense it is. Three kids do pretty well.
- CallumNovember 5, 2025⭐⭐⭐½ – 3 Ninjas – Kicks, Courage, and 90s Kid Power 3 Ninjas belongs to that golden window of the early 90s when martial arts ruled the big screen and every kid with a coloured belt believed they were one training montage away from greatness. It’s the era of Bruce Lee’s legacy, Brandon Lee’s tragic brilliance, Mark Dacascos’s fluid power, and the wild energy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers. Into that mix came something a little different — martial arts made for kids, by kids, with just enough mischief to make it irresistible. Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum aren’t just brothers — they’re an entire generation’s stand-ins for childhood courage. They fight bullies, outsmart criminals, and somehow never get grounded for any of it. Watching them back then felt like watching your own imagination come to life — the fantasy that you could be small, but still strong enough to make a difference. The fight scenes, the nicknames, the corny one-liners — they all carry that perfect 90s energy where sincerity mattered more than spectacle. Victor Wong Chi-Keung steals every scene as Grandpa — wise, patient, and just dangerous enough to prove that age and wisdom aren’t excuses to slow down. His mentorship embodies the heart of the story: discipline, respect, and the idea that real strength comes from within. For younger audiences today, it might feel like a relic from another time — and it is — but that’s exactly why it still works. It’s innocent, earnest, and packed with the kind of life lessons that never go out of style. 🥋 Pairing: A fizzy orange soda — sweet, nostalgic, and full of the same boundless energy that made every 90s kid want to kick higher, run faster, and believe they could take on the world.
