More Detail:
In 3 NINJAS KICK BACK, the sequel to 3 NINJAS, Colt, Rocky and Tum Tum must decide whether to travel to Japan for the Ninja tournament with Grandpa, who must present the ceremonial dagger he won 50 years ago to the new winner, or to play in the championship baseball game. When Grandpa runs into trouble in Tokyo the boys decide they are needed there. The man who lost the tournament to Grandpa has wanted the dagger back because of the legend attached to it and has employed his nephew to steal it. When the 3 Ninjas arrive in Japan, they thwart the efforts of the bad guys in some highly improbable Ninja battles with a trained Ninja army and manage to make the baseball championships after all.
A poorly-crafted film, 3 NINJAS KICK BACK might well be named THE THREE STOOGES GO TO JAPAN, except for the fact that it is not nearly as funny or engaging as an adventure with Larry, Moe or Curly. A low-budget movie targeted primarily for children, there is an upsetting amount of vulgarity, lots of violence (though not graphic) and a disappointing portrait of the parent/child relationship. With one direct rip-off from HOME ALONE, it might be compared to that film simply because the violence is often of the same slapstick nature, but this is an uncreative, unoriginal, improbable film which will appeal only to the lowest common denominator.
