    I think that I was a little too old to appreciate this movie by the time it came out. I am sure that has just as many hijinx as the first two but I have no desire to ever see it.

    Rocky: I get it now.
    Colt: What?
    Rocky: The sound of the flowers.
    Tum Tum: Where?
    Colt: You heard the flowers?
    Tum Tum: What? I don't hear anything.
    Rocky: That's the whole point. I didn't hear them.



    As a rule, sequels are never as good as the originals. On...( read more)ce in a while, we get amazing movies like The Empire Strikes Back and Godfather II. Eighty-five minutes of "non-stop ninja action" (they're not exaggerating when they say that) put together to form a weak plot. This is just pure violence. The movie is obviously meant to be a flick for teenage girls with overactive hormones to come drool over Michael Treanor and Max Elliott Slade as they kick the living daylights out of everyone they meet. This movie isn't entirely bad. The plot does try to tie in some interesting topics about Native American culture, however, the inaccuracies and stereotypical portrayal of the culture detracts from admiring this aspect of the movie too. In the end, this is an incoherent, trashy, unwatchable movie that plays at a much lower level than the original. Perhaps it was learning the lessons of obedience, patience, and of course getting a good laugh or two out of it. But nonetheless, this is not a trilogy worthy of sitting next to the Star Wars, The Godfather or even the Ninja Turtles trilogy for that matter. Best of luck to Michael Treanor, Max Elliott Slade and Chad Power. I do hope that they may land roles in the future that don't require them to jump up in the air, make a 360, and kick a massive biker guy (who weighs at least 200 pounds heavier than them) in the face and knock him out cold.
