Goofs
When Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum are spying on the meeting between Jack and the mayor, the two men agree that the hearing will be held on the following day. That night, the three boys and Jo rescue Jo's father. The next morning, the boys are exhausted and Tum Tum falls asleep leaning against the refrigerator. That night, they attend the Native American ceremony and Grandpa helps them fight off J.J. and his men. The next morning is the hearing. This means that the hearing actually started two days after the meeting.

3 Ninjas Knuckle Up

Another awesome comeback into the 3 Ninjas series. "3 Ninjas Knuckle Up"

3 Ninjas Knuckle Up was also a classic and really good kids family film. A kick-butt action-comedy-family film. The boys, Michael Treanor, Max Elliott Slade, and Chad Power were so awesome! 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up was funny and full of true Martial Arts. Victor Wong who starred as Grandpa he did great and connected very well with the boys. Sang-OK Shin who directed film. Awesome job! Alex S. Kim thanks for writing such a amazing kick-butt story. 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up rock!

We all remember watching this one too as a kid and watching it via Television whenever it showed. 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up was always a joy to watch because truly it rocks and kicks-butt. There's nothing negative about the film itself. I recommend it for everyone and you should check it out if you haven't today. If you loved the first one you'll love this one 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up will rock your world! these boys are awesome.
