Double Dare 2000 (2000–2001)

Terrible

[13 August 2005]

Double Dare was great during its Double Dare iteration and Super Sloppy one, but it just lost its luster. When they didn't bring back Marc Summers, it was just not any good. Stick to the old shows, they're a lot better. I turned this iteration off after 2 episodes on Nick GAS. It just lacked the magic that the previous iterations of Double Dare had. It's really not worth watching.

Still like my Super Sloppy Double Dare at 4:20 during Pumping GAS. If you want to see Double Dare at its purest, that's the show to watch carefully.

Sci-Fighter (2004)

Bad front office job.....

[2/10 · 10 June 2005]

Having knowing some of these people IRL and having taken karate, I really have to fault the director for this one being bad. All of these people are capable of putting better than blue-belt level fights and acting better. It was a nice treat seeing Danny Mayid do his form at the end, it's just a shame he couldn't come out of his shell anymore in his intro film. It looked like a safe, conservative karate movie where the insurance didn't cover the level of fights that people expect. I've seen better in karate class and on demo teams.

Sorry if I offended any of the actors with this, because this was clearly not their fault.

3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain (1998)

Would you please stop trashing this series?

[9/10 · 26 July 2002]

I've waited over four years to see this movie, and people have to stop trashing this series. Having taken karate myself as a kid and working in an amusement park, this movie is far from stupid. If you're a fan of the series, you'll love this one.

The only negative point I can see is that they didn't use the original actors except for Grandpa Mori; however, in this case it doesn't hurt the movie. The kids were far better at karate and the action was great.

If you like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers, you'll like this movie too.

9 out of 10.

Peace out.

3 Ninjas: Knuckle Up (1995)

A sure-fire classic

[9/10 · 26 September 1999]

The best of the 3 Ninjas series and a series continuer, but too bad TriStar shelved this one and put out Kick Back. I'm still looking for the tape for it, but when I do, I'll watch it over and over again. Once again, great tribute to those who made this series of movies.

3 Ninjas (1992)

Great Movie

[9/10 · 10 September 1999]

One of the best movie franchises to ever have been released. While some people might comment on some of the things, I always believe kids should take more of their right place, and this move is definitely a step in doing so. Too bad the movie franchise was killed by Kick Back and TriStar; else, this would definitely be a sure-power hit for years to come
