It's like a book club with explosions

What if Ernie Reyes never had a child?

I never saw Surf Ninjas the first time around, as I was a fan of 3 Ninjas and wanted nothing to do with a different set of ninja children, so this was a whole new experience to me. And I must say, this movie fits our little club nicely.

While I found the bad acting and the terrible plot to be detracting, there were many things to love about this movie. Such as Rob Schneider. This is up there in the top 5 best Rob Schneider roles of all time. Deuce Bigalow? No, Iggy. From the first scene of him cooking breakfast, to him putting wax on the wrong side of his surfboard, to his diatribe about money and knives, he stole the show.

Plus, was anything more amazing than the fact that Tone Loc made every scene he was in better? It was like he was the veteran actor for once in his career. And the Kelly Hu sighting (of Nash Bridges, Sunset Beach, and X2 fame) was humerous, especially when you count the fact that she was 25 when they made this movie.

I do wonder how much Leslie Nielson was paid for this one though. He's only in the movie for 10 minutes, and it's a pretty poor production even by his standards. I think he did it all in a day and ended up with a six figure check. Gotta love Hollywood.

Does anyone else want to know why Zatch was missing his eye? They show him getting cut in the face, but then he's simply bleeding for the rest of the scene, with his eye fully intact. Did it get infected in this third world country and he had no antibiotics so he had to have it removed? Or does he simply wear the patch to add a challenge to his depth perception and have a good conversation starter? So many questions...
