Ernie Reyes Sr., Rob Schneider, Ernie Reyes Jr.

Made at the height of the pint-sized Ninja comedy craze, this fast-paced adolescent adventure stars teenage black belt Ernie Reyes Jr. as a California beach boy with a royal legacy. One minute he's a ...( read more  read more... )smart-mouth surfer and high-school jester, the next he's battling Ninja assassins, romancing a teenage princess (former Miss Teen USA Kelly Hu), and leading his subjects in a rebellion against a vicious metal-clad colonel (Leslie Nielsen). At least it gets him out of class. Real life karate kid and former Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stuntman Reyes has a winning (if somewhat loud) screen presence and Rob Schneider offers a few laughs as Reyes's clueless buddy. Nielsen, however, mugs his way painfully through a glorified cameo. More frantic than funny, with slapstick liberally sprinkled through the many bloodless martial arts battles, this one is strictly for the kids. --Sean Axmaker

    I loved this as a kid, but I don't think I want to watch it again, I'm sure it won't hold up to my expectations.

    "Hey, I found Waldo!!! SYKE!!!!"
    Some one said to me recently, "I had no idea that Rob Scheider was in that movie the first time I saw it." Good god, this was how I was introduced to him! I also had this jerkoff tell me I wouldn't know anything ABOUT THIS MOVIE! I'M 26-YEARS-OL...( read more)D AND HE'S 3 OR 4 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME, AND HE THINKS HE'S MORE FAMILIAR WITH THIS MOVIE THAN I AM!!!! FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I HEARD ABOUT THIS MOVIE WHEN IT CAME OUT AND I WANTED TO SEE IT SO BAD BECAUSE I WAS SUCH A BIG FAN OF MARTIAL ARTS MOVIES. I made a POSTER for this movie with my own hands, a few sheets of Loose Leaf paper and some crayons!!!!! No, I don't still have it.. Oh, you know better than me, huh?
