Surf Ninjas

I've got to agree with Paul: 3 Ninjas was bitchin. However, Surf ninjas comprised a good 20% of my childhood. I got this on DVD for my brother for Christmas, seeing as how we must have watched it weekly in our wee years. So I was pleased to see upon this new viewing that it is still so great.

I don't even know where to begin. Motosurfing? Inspired. Scottish Uncle Iggy? Spot-on. What was with the princess suddenly embracing liberty? That was not explored. And as soon as Johnny is crowned king, he renounces it? These points were lost on me as a child.

Something else I discovered about this movie is that it is goddamn funny. Colonel Chi missing phone calls was genius. So was the Game Gear. Goddamnit, what ever happened to Game Gears? And I have learned that brothas don't surf.

I fell like I'm getting a bit sporadic. I am too excited because this movie rules.
