An evil gang takes over an amusement park only to be foiled by three Ninja-trained brothers and a TV action star in this smartly paced (if by-the- numbers) kiddie action flick. Medusa (Loni Anderson) and Lothar (Jim Varney) head up the gang with ransom money and mayhem on their minds. But they don't count on the young Caucasian trio, taught by their inexplicably Asian grandfather, and Dave Dragon (Hulk Hogan), making a live appearance at the park. What follows is campy humor, lots of Karate-esque action and plenty of <I>Home Alone</I>-type boy vs. foolish bad guy high jinks. And girls aren't left out: the brothers' neighbor, a brainy techno girl, is on hand to hack into the computer to override the gang's murderous plans, while also providing 007-style gadgets for hand-to-hand combat. While there is plenty of gunplay in the 90- minute film, no one is killed or even significantly hurt, making it appropriate for ages 5 and older. <I>--Kimberly Heinrichs</I>
Viewer Reviews
Believe the hype. This 4th installment is terrible. You know a movie is in trouble when the highlight of it is Jim Varney of Ernest fame.
Premise: A group of idiotic thugs lead by Medusa(Loni Anderson) and Lothar(Jim Varney) hold an amusement park filled with people hostage for a ransom of 50 million dollars from the owner of Mega Mountain. Colt, Rocky, Tum Tum and their newfound friend Jessica along with the help of Dave Dragon(Hulk Hogan) try to stop them.
Opinion: This is the worst installment to the 3 Ninjas series. I grew up on 3 Ninjas and when I saw this I sighed. The original kids are replaced with 3 annoying and ugly runts. The plot is so lame its laughable. Why would anybody hijack an amusement park when there is big money eleswhere? Jim Varney is surprisingly good as Lothar. Hulk Hogan is unsurprisingly terrible as Dave Dragon, the amusement park's stunt actor. Loni Anderson wins the ham of the year award hands down as Medusa. I mean, have you ever seen a cornier villian? At least the other 3 Ninja movies had credible villains. Medusa is a cheeseball and her henchmen are about as bright as Laurel & Hardy. And you people dissed Knuckle Up? At least Knuckle Up had its moments. High Noon At Mega Mountain had none. Unless you count it being unintentionally funny as a good thing. Stick with the first 3 movies of the 3 Ninjas series and pretend this one never existed.
