Story Synopsis:
Silliness and kick-boxing is the basis of this movie as the three young ninjas take on a toxic waste king. The three boys develop a friendship with a local Native American girl while spending the summer with their martial arts grandfather. Before long, the gang falls into the middle of a current issue between the local Native Americans and a corrupt businessman. It takes the guts of uninhibited youth to save the day. This film like its predecessors, adds comedy to martial arts action and ties everything to a moral lesson to provide wholesome entertainment for the whole family.
LaserDisc Picture:
The matted 1.85:1 picture is sharp and detailed. Fleshtones are natural and colors are vivid. Contrast is excellent with deep solid blacks and good shadow detail. No artifacts or noise for a superb solid picture.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack has an in-your-face unnatural ADR dialogue presence augmented by mostly mono effects and a music score to which the surround envelopment is limited.
