Movie Reviews of Surf Ninjas
Movie Review: Flexin' With The Best Of Them
Summary: 4 Stars
Another Ernie Reyes Jr. vehicle with a mediocre plot & limitedacting skills throughout but hey my main man's in it & that usually means a bit of struttin' & dizzying displays of fleshalong the line. And so here we get the 'cut & chiseled' beyond belief-ripped to the max look from Ernie with a pair of pipes'bulgin' to beat the band.' You'd think a cat this young wouldbe carrying 'round some baby fat but there's nary an ounce visable to the naked eye. Choosing to be a 'tease' thru most of the movie, Mr. Reyes doesn't treat viewers to his 'muscles on top of muscles' bod 'til near's end. Tho not shirtless, hemight as well be with those half inch criss-crossed pieces ofbraided leather huggin' his classicly carved chest. His gorgeous pecs & washboard abs are deliciously displayed. The flick itself has an intentional comedic air about it-'specially at it's close during the 'fight scenes' which come off quite realistic. Leslie Nielson is on-board here to addto the fun. Naturally, it's an absolute joy watchin' Ernie'smuscles 'flex up a storm' in these sequences. This is a MUSTBUY if you're into martial arts, fitness, body building orsimply body watching. Reyes is definetly into three out of four & for that this fan would like to thank him from head to toe. The picture zoom on my player gets a 'real workout' on this one. YOU THE BOMB ERNIEJR. but dad isn't exactly chopped liver!Movie Review: "Because as we all know, Money Can't Buy Knives!"
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie, along with Xanadu is my secret shame. I shouldn't have watched it more than once, but I did. I shouldn't laugh, but I do. This is a stupid, stupid movie and I love it.
The best way to describe this movie is "Chairman of the Board"
(Carrot Top's movie. Yes, I've seen that one too) meets "3 Ninjas".
The humor is stupid, but never low-brow (except for Leslie Nielsen's malfunctioning bionic hand scene) and overall the film is upbeat.
You would think that Leslie Nielsen would steal the show, but it's really the interplay between the entire cast that produces the most memorable moments. Although the best lines belong to Rob Schneider's "Iggy".
Iggy' monologue about how "Money can't buy knives" is one of the highlights of the film and Tone Loc is a funny, if not odd addition to the cast.
Surf Ninjas is a fun adventure movie, with plenty of laughs, even if the product placement is a little obvious.
It's cheap, so go ahead and buy it already.
Movie Review: Surfing, kicking and Beach Boys singing to boot
Summary: 4 Stars
This is just one of a string of the bad good movies of the 90s.
Riding high off his success as Keno from the TMNT2: Secret of the Ooze, Ernie Reyes, Jr stars as the long-lost prince of a small island nation, who along with his brother and annoying best friend, must outwit the evil, half man/half mechanical parts overlord played by Leslie Nielsen who wants to destroy them and/or take over the world.
Yeah, okay, so already you have to leave your brain at the door if you want to enjoy this movie. If you can manage to do that, it's cute and funny and Reyes has a charming performance as a typical teenage surfer who realizes that he's so much more and kinda doesn't really care. Also check out the princess who when I first saw the movie like 10 years ago, thought she was a nobody and now find out that it's Kelly Hu...who I guess even today is sort of still a nobody but for those who recognize her, she was in the Scorpion King with the Rock and played Yuriko in X2.
Movie Review: Ah Surf Ninjas.
Summary: 4 Stars
So this is one of the IMDB worst 100 with good reason. The plotline is threadbare and absurd and the whole point is to get a couple of chuckles while some guys do martial arts.
So how the heck did it get 4 stars from me?
Well, I think that it's meant to be both horrible and funny. You get Ernie Reyes Jr. as the typical '90s teenager who meets an exotic Asian woman grounded in ancient traditions, asking "Uh, would you like to go to the mall sometime?"
Granted, I prefer more wit in a movie. I'm not going to rate it as 5-stars because it's not. But it's cute for the little kid to be able to control the future with a Sega. And it's fun to have a character who waxes a surfboard every day to fit in, but can't actually surf at all. And let's face it: deep down in our souls we all want to randomly become amazing. Surf Ninjas has that kind of young-kid appeal.
Movie Review: Probably only worth buying if you liked it as a kid
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, I'll begin by saying that my review of this movie is somewhat biased, since I first saw it as a young kid, I must have been 12 or 13 when it came out.That having been said, at 22 I still really enjoy watching, and am glad to see it out on DVD now. Sure it's cheesy and all, but if you can just relax and not worry about that, it's got some great lines and situations, and will keep you laughing until the end.
If you didn't enjoy the first Ninja Turtle movie, or the Naked Gun series, don't buy this DVD. If you did, then rent it some night and give it a try, you may be pleasantly surprised.
