Everything Action Theater: Surf Ninjas (1993)
Riding the wave (pun intended) of things like TMNT, 1993’s Surf Ninjas is a ridiculous 90s cult classic you can watch in the latest Everything Action Theater.
Starring Ernie Reyes Sr, Ernie Reyes Jr, Nicolas Cowan, Rob Schneider, Tone Loc, Kelly Hu, and Leslie Nielsen, the movie follows brothers Johnny (Reyes Jr.) and Zach (Cowan), who discover they are princes of the island nation of Patusan. Colonel Chi (Nielsen), an evil warlord, wants to dispose of the brothers and take over the country with his army of evil ninjas. The movie is full of wacky moments, from a musical moment featuring The Beach Boys “Barabara Ann” to Rob Schneider pretending to be a teenager to a magical Game Gear being the key to resolving the plot. Critics or audiences did not receive it well then, but 90s kids who grew up on this and stuff like 3 Ninjas and TMNT most likely have a soft spot for this ridiculous movie.
