Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Great Film overall

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This is without doubt one of the worst film ever made, this film makes every other bad films looks good. I am amazed by how bad this film is. I really doubt this movie made any money in any return. I feel bad for who-ever produce this film. I was morbidly curious, so I watched it first. That was a major lapse of judgment. Its looks like a rip-off of Three Ninjas and Power Rangers. Anyways, first off, what is with the title? Pocket Ninja? What is that? Sounds like a pervert name where a guy who'd ask kids to put their hand into his pocket and they'd end up grabbing his privates. Stupid title. Pocket Ninjas was originally entitled Skate Dragons. The film was intended to be a children's version of 1991's The Roller Blade Seven that would showcase director Donald G. Jacksons' "Roller Cam" cinematography and "Zen Film-making" style. "Zen Film Making" is the philosophy of film making that says you don't need a script to your movie, you just film a bunch of random scenes and call it a movie. Pointless scenes such as a balloon factory fight, a guy riding on top of a stolen car. It has nothing to do with the main story. A stupid parade and last a supersonic virtual reality game with annoying sounds and music to make your ears bleed. However, Jackson was replaced when executive producers felt the "Zen Film-making" style was not working. Eddy was brought in to create a wrap around for the Jackson and the producer's extra footage. It was a mess. The film starts with clowns, no really, three kids that looks like Ninja ass clowns with their masks on trying to fight crime. They are Steve (Brad Bufanda) whom girlfriend Amy complaining about him near the end was out of the blue. It really paid off by only showing the top of her head. The next one is Damien (Joseph Valencia) whom special ninja power is that he can play a Gameboy with no cartridge. Last is Tanya (Sondi) who kicks in the endless amounts of training montages are just bad to watch. ¾ of the film is just training montages. The whole point of the training montages in movies is to pump us up for the big final fight scene. In order for us to be pumped up, they have to be pumped up. They have to looks motivated and dedicated in those cut scenes not sleepy. Their skills also don't improve from one training scene to the next - they're always bad. If I have kids, they're not getting Karate lessons, because I've seen enough kids training in this movie than I'd want to in my life or next! Their leader is the White Dragon (Gary Daniels). No surprised there. I wonder what Black Dragon thinks about this. Painful acting on display by Gary Daniels and from everybody. No worries, Gary Daniel's character disappears half way in the film and never returns. It's never explain. The worst acting is Cubby Khan (Rick Rabago) the kid leader of the street gang called the Stoners, or Stringers. They change their name throughout the film. He reads his line with no delivery. His father Cobra Khan (Robert Z'Dar) while not playing patty cake and doing a Tarzan impression is working with an evil pollution company man to pour toxic waste or something. The plot never get fresh out, as even a sub-plot romantic between White Dragon and Damien's mother is cut. The writing is so bad, it felt like it's in a different language. Like, Canadian or something. I think that some up the sheer stupidity of the movie. I really do. This movie is in fact a definition of real low-brow stupidity brought to screen. Pocket Ninjas was so bad, it was produce in 1994, but wasn't release on VCR until 1997. It seems like the fight never ends. Just like the movie

Let's start with an irrelevant montage of karate training that consists entirely of fresh-air punches and kicks. The cover on the DVD bears no resemblance to the movie, which is much worse, but let's cut to a montage of the same karate training with crappy music. Plot? Ha! There's 3 annoying kids who who communicate entirely in sarcasm talking about a white-dragon character/crime fighter but it's difficult to know if he's real or not because we've just cut to a montage of fresh-air karate training again (really the same 3 kids just wearing masks). Now Just when you think the plot gets going somewhere, there's another cut to the bad guy (presumably the bad guy, he's really a scrawny kid) with his henchmen dropping nun-chucks on their feet and weather he's real or not isn't entirely clear as we cut once again to the 3 main characters and another training montage that is entirely identical to all the others before it. The music sounds like a theme to some crappy kids TV show and just makes you want to bury your fist through the TV speakers after hearing it for the 1000th time.And apart from a truly bizarre fight sequence in a carnival tent involving Robert Z'Dar and a lot of balloons, that really is the entire movie. But just to finish off, cut to a training montage of fresh-air punches and kicks. I gave up counting after the 6th repeat.

There are low budget/direct to video movies, and then there is trash like this.Trying to follow the plot of this film can actually hurt at time with the amount of thinking that was required to follow what was going on. Was there a Cobra Khan or was he just part of the kids imagination of the white ninja. Was the white ninjas back story based on a comic or were the kids just dreaming it. What was the deal with that scene with the clown fight and the balloons. Why were they bouncing on balloons for 15 minutes?! Also the kids were trained by a Van Damn wannabe who while solidly built lacked any acting talent. Also the box art, why couldn't the box designers at least pick an honest one to give the audience an idea how ugly the costumes were which looked like was made of cheap pieces of costume purchased in Chinatown.Acting was poor at best. It was fairly obvious by the end of the film that the kids could not do any of there own stunts which was probably why the stunt kids wore the awful costumes.The film at times seemed like a bad live action cartoon. This film goes so far as to hit clichés such as fishing rods and bait to lure the one kid's mom , following the kids by hiding in a trash can.There were also subtle problems such as some of the film was not properly edited to make it feel like it fit in the movie as the lighting was off and it seemed the purpose of it was to purely drag the film on.The film director insists that to allow the film to be acceptable by foreign markets he had to put in work out scenes which could be misconstrued as intentionally trying to torture the viewers.But the worst torture by far was saved for last in the form of the "Virtual Reality fight" which consisted of random fighters fighting sped up using such weapons as silly string. I honestly question the mental health of the writers and seriously wonder if some of them were on drugs when I watch this scene, it makes me cry every time cause it hurts so very much.My advice, do not watch this movie ever, unless you go in wanting to be subjected to the worst kinds of mental torture a film can present you with. There is nothing to laugh at in the film's intended humor. Not even the mistakes are funny most of the time. You might get out a few guilty laughs at some of the dumber moments, granted they might just be a response triggered by the brain cells this film kills at speeds higher then grain alcohol.

Sometimes I watch movies from the "Bottom 100" to laugh a little, but this "film", if it is actually allowed to call it this way, outclassed everything I have ever seen before. It is not funny like "plan 9" or "the claw" it is sad. It really hurts to see acting, that could be outclassed by every kindergarten theater group on this planet.The biggest problem of the movie is the "numbing-factor", your brain will be switched off by the movie and you will be stunned until the credits start.Even though the movie has a story, too stupid for any 1st-grader, it doesn't really follow these. The actors are just fooling around for 80 minutes. Trust me and do not watch this movie. If you did, demand refunds from the director. If you didn't pay to watch the movie, then sue him for solatium, for this is mental cruelty on tape.
