First off, this is a kids movie so certain allowances should be made for its rubbishness. But I expect that the majority of 7 year olds would find High Noon an unrewarding and painful experience.

The film concerns a group of extremely unscary baddies who decide that world domination can be best achieved by hijacking an amusement park. Two things prevent the villains from carrying out their evil plan. Firstly, the bad guys find themselves easily defeated at every turn by three children and Hulk Hogan. Secondly, those aforementioned bad guys are morons.

The three children are, of course, the 3 Ninjas. They defeat fully grown men in martial art combat at every turn. Particularly remarkable, since one of the kids appears to be about four years old. Of especial note is the second youngest as he sports a haircut that is so abysmally misguided it makes Billy Ray Cyrus's mullet look tasteful. It is a bowl-cut/pony-tail combo; two haircuts from hell all on one head - it is truly horrendous and should really not be seen by younger viewers.

An interesting aspect of the movie is that despite the fact that the fairground has been hijacked, no one seems to have informed the extras. They carry on enjoying the rides as if nothing has happened. As I said earlier, the bad guys are essentially idiots, so its just possible that they have not got their heads round the technicalities of hijacking. But, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter as the film is not exactly convincing in a general sense.

Do I recommend it? Not really but it is an ideal birthday present for a child you dislike.

Every once in a while a film comes along that makes you glad to be alive. Cinema is a beautiful art form, and no cinema is more gorgeous than 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain. Epic on a grand scale, the cinematic majesty on display would make Kurosawa's corpse reanimate just so it could kill itself in shame at never meeting the grandeur of vision presented herein. I saw this movie and broke down in tears, as I knew my eyes had witnessed the most beautiful sight since Stallone and Carl Weathers flirting with each other on the beach in one of the Rocky films. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll curse yourself for thinking that the greatness of the previous 3 Ninjas movies could ever be topped.

Bravo. Bravo.

This movie was a real treat. I say "treat" in the sense that it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, hence I love it. The plot is ridiculous & other posters have done a good job at pointing out the shortcomings so I'll keep this brief. As someone alluded to previously & after a secondary viewing last night re-enforced, it is quite comical how the "terrorists" go through extreme measures to get into the park (ie; having a ship offshore, jet skis, scuba diving, underwater lasers etc,) when they could just pay the nominal fee to gain access to the park! That was great. Hulk Hogan as always, is a crowd pleaser. I like at the end when he knocks off the tops of the underwater breathing apparatuses with a single blow & they masquerade as oxygen diffusing projectiles! Jim Varney obviously was funny in his role as the antagonist, no doubt ashamed to be cast in such a lousy movie. And the three "ninjas"? Don't even get me started. So cheesy with the Ayais! over & over. Terrible actors, but it all adds to the ambiance of a wonderful film, albeit low budget & misconstrued, unintentional comedy. Would highly recommend, & it goes without saying that a solid buzz while embarking on such a journey will no doubt add to the enjoyment derived from this little gem. Cheers!

My boys love Hulk Hogan so when they first saw this corny movie years ago, they loved it! We had it on VCR & they played it to death. It's very silly & corny but just right for kids. We found it on Netflix recently & what fun it has been to watch it again! My oldest son is having a blast sharing this movie with his girlfriend. It's been fun watching him laugh at it all over again. (BTW, my sons are currently 21 & 17...lol) Even though it doesn't have all the same boys in it as the previous 3 Ninja movies do, you don't need to have seen them to watch this one. In fact, we actually saw this one first, then the others. My sons still like this one best.

I'm not a child, but I still enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed the first three, although in the second movie (kicks back) the youngest kid barely fought at all. I enjoyed this movie because all the kids have action. They all have black belts so the action is really good. It's a great movie. I liked it. This movie is great entertainment for children. This is also a good movie to watch if you are bored or there's nothing good on. I enjoyed this movie a lot. I've seen all the 3 ninjas movies and enjoyed them all. This is also a good action film for children. They would probably enjoy it as much as I did. Victor Wong acted really well returning as grandpa mori. The rest of the cast is good also, and the movie as a good storyline.

My kids loved this movie, we're going out to buy it today. We just rented this movie and my kids liked it so much that we have to go and buy it today. My wife and I liked that the fight scenes were fun and not violent. A GREAT kids movie.

Hasn't anyone ever dreamed of being a ninja as a child? I watched this movie years ago and would have told you then that the 3 ninjas movies were the absolute best movies ever made. Looking at this movie from an adults perspective defeats the propose of this being a Children's MOVIE. From a child's perspective this movie is one of the best martial arts movies ever made. Think back to when you were a kid. Wouldn't you love to see a movie where kids your age can take on fully grown men and win? This movie was a favorite of mine growing up and I would still sit down and watch all of the 3 ninjas movies because they were so epic as a child.

1992's "3 Ninjas" was a really cool movie, back in 2nd grade! I felt that it would of been best to leave it alone. But, like all money hungry executives do, they have to go and make 3 lame sequels that overexpose what made the first one successful: fighting. And I don't know what the hell the filmakers were doing while shooting these movies and casting the stars? I guess they filmed the third one right after the first and intended for that to be the second one, since the kids in it are the same as the kids in the first! (still with me?)

But overall, this is the worst of the four. Was it supposed to be a prequel or something, 'cause all three kids look about 5 years younger than in the previous movies. And even if it was a prequel, the filmakers obviously didn't realize the kids don't get their names until later. Please don't rent this movie to enjoy it with your kids or yourself. Rent it to make fun of it with a friend or sibling, but beware, it might bore you or cheese you to death before you finish it!!

Note: A black belt doesn't screech out a high-pitched "HI-YA" when doing something like throwing an egg at a bad guy or cutting a rope that releases an anvil or something of that sort that black-belts don't do.

This is the funniest film ever. Why?

Because of the funny "gags" and ninja-tricks? **NO**

Because of the stupid 3 grownups? **NO**

Oh, then why was it so funny?

I don't know, really but I think it was something about it being so incredibly bad. Well, I laughed to death every second. I think I'm going to buy it, I haven't have this much fun in a stinking movie in years.

0/10 - Rent it today and prepeare for laughs. Everything in it is funny, trust me (and I don't mean for the kids)

You might think, that this movie sucks, but you´re dead wrong!

This is the funniest piece, I´ve ever seen in my life!

Seriously, I was laughing tears the whole movie - then I tried to kill myself!

Normally, in a Hogan movie, you can expect, that he´s the one, beating up the bad guys, but not here, Hogan mostly stands - or lies - in the way, while the villains get an ass-kicking from an 3-year-old, and his two wannabe-ninja brothers!

I won´t write something about the story, because:

a) There is no story, and even if you find one (I didn´t), you should forget about it wright now!

b) I have seen this movie 3 years ago, which makes it difficult, to write a good comment!

Hey, I rated this one 10, and YOU should do the same!

But please rate it, BEFORE you watch it! ;)

This is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. Watched it on a hangover with a mate and we couldn't stop laughing the whole time and, despite having a lot of work to do, were compelled to watch to the end to see if the 3 ninjas won. It's the most ludicrous story line I've ever seen in a film, I was just sitting there thinking how is that little kid beating up grown men 'ninjas' - surely just knee him in the head, he's about 6. And that ridiculous girl with all the gadgets, "Let me just reroute the encryption through the CPU" or some bollox, on what was essentially a toy computer. The female leader of the terrorist looks like an 80s porn star (so does the Hulk as well, I guess), speaking of which, Mr. Hogan put in one of his best performances since Muppets from Space. It is genuinely the worst, least believable film you will ever see and as a result is truly hilarious. Also, one of the kids has literally the worst haircut you will ever see, it's worth watching the film purely for that. Long live Dave Dragon!!!

Hwah! Huh! Why did I make those noises? Because that's how exciting this sequel to the very funny movie "3 Ninjas" really is! Both movies are nice, good, clean family fun (as for "Surf Ninjas," too), and parents won't have to be worried about bad content or anything of that matter.

I remember in the first movie, those kids can kick those bad guys' butts! Now, in the second movie, well, there's more fighting! Kids love this stuff!

And another reason to like this movie: Two words: Hulk Hogan. Seeing him act is just like seeing Tor Johnson act; both are funny guys! So this Friday night, when there's nothing to watch on television that night, go out and rent these movies!

...and that was the atrocious lesbian subtext between the little girl and Loni Anderson! Some of the lines from the lady in leather were so morally wrong they were superb! That said, the rest of the film was poor, with the three kids not even comprehending the basic rules of the ninja (as in STAYING UNSEEN AND SILENT!). The fight scenes were static and bland. If you want a good ninja film for the kids, rent Surf Ninjas. Also, even thinking about Colt's haircut still makes me cringe a week after I saw the film...

The only reason I bought this DVD is because I'm such a fan of Varney's. I wouldn't have known about this movie much less get it if he wasn't in it. While lots of people rag on Hulk Hogan, he wasn't the worst actor. By far, the most wooden performance goes to Loni Anderson. If this is a family oriented movie, why in the world did they have her dress in that skanky leather outfit that was far too short? Terrible casting as far as Loni goes. She was supposed to be the evil Medusa but I didn't buy it. She just didn't have the quality of pulling off the 'bad guy' type of role. She was much better on 'WKRP in Cinncinati'. I got a little tired of Tum Tum's 'Ay-yahs' after a while. They were too high pitched and over done. All 6 stars go to Jim Varney. I was actually rooting for Lothar to become successful in his mission for he was the only one of the bad guys with the brilliance to pull off the heist. He easily outshone all the stars, as usual. He always gives 100% to whatever role he played as you can see here. Jim and Victor were the two best actors in this movie. Maybe if Jim had cast and directed this, it would've been a bigger box office success. The man was a brilliant actor and a genius. If you're a fan of Varney's, then yes, get the movie just to watch him. Otherwise, don't bother.

This movie falls under my friend's theory that if a movie is bad enough, it loops around to become good again. Not dissimilar to Einsteins theory of bending light around the universe to see into the future (aka Paycheck). This movie is so terrible (just like the ones before it) in so many ways its hard to believe any production company would sign on to do it. Hulk Hogan is, as always, a terrible actor, but to reproduce the performance he gave in Gremlins 2: The New Batch, would be impossible for anyone.

Watch this movie if you have a sense of humor and an hour and a half to waste.

There two types of bad film.... a)a film so bad you turn it off immediately or b)bad films starring hulk hogan that you have to watch to amuse yourself. Hulk plays Dave Dragon, some old guy who is not very hard and not very funny - and basically the bottom line of the film is some female terrorist tries to take over a theme park. They fail, thanks to some geeky kids who apparently know martial arts. The most annoying thing though is how easily grown adults get beaten up by pesky little kids. This film is so bad, but, fair play, I watched most of it so it achieved something in that sense. Enjoyable if you like ripping it out of bad actors and rubbish plots.

I've waited over four years to see this movie, and people have to stop trashing this series. Having taken karate myself as a kid and working in an amusement park, this movie is far from stupid. If you're a fan of the series, you'll love this one.

The only negative point I can see is that they didn't use the original actors except for Grandpa Mori; however, in this case it doesn't hurt the movie. The kids were far better at karate and the action was great.

If you like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Power Rangers, you'll like this movie too.

9 out of 10.

Peace out.

This was horrible. I remember that the original movie was mildly amusing, but this stinker left me disgusted. This is one movie where I was actually wanting the villains to win, because of the annyoing, constipated sounding screeching noises that "Tum-Tum" was making for karate yells and what not. I actually laughed when Loni Anderson said "Rest in pieces". The first two movies were cute, the third was...blech, but when a movie stars Hulk Hogan.... slow up on that, you've already lost all the money that you put into this flop; and then some.

the only reason i rented this garbage excuse for a movie is because i am a big fan of the original 3 ninjas movie. when the original came out i was a little kid and it was great. after seeing 3 ninjas kick back and 3 ninjas knuckle up i wasn't expecting 3 ninjas high noon to be that good, since the 2 preceding ones weren't' that great. so finally, 8 years after the release i rent 3 Ninjas High Noon at Mega Mountain....where shall i begin.

-3 new actors playing the boys, if u can even consider them actors -rocky is "too cool" to be a ninja -colt has a lisp and a pony tail -tum-tum looks like he retrograded back in time and is now 5

-when tum-tum screams hi-ya it sounds like a little girl

-hulk holgan is in this movie -terriorts take over AN AMUSMANT PARK! -worst acting i've ever seen...ninjas, hulk holgan, terriorts included -dummest plot line

this movie killed the 3 ninjas for me. i don't' think i can ever watch the original again and enjoy it. every time i see rocky i will think of a stuck up asshole; colt, i will think of his "new look", and tum-tum i will think of a 5 year old cry baby.

god

OH...UUHHGG...AAAARRRGGGHHHHH...*COUGH COUGH* EEEEWWWW worst movie ever, i fell asleep in the thearter, REALLY i did. It was that bad. You have got to be really corny to like this movie. Its one of those movies that make you hate every thing about your brother, They made me go because they couldnt go alone. After the movie ended, My little brothers wanted to become ninjas themselves.. coming out they were kicking. OH YUCK

Old sea maps used to leave a warning on the outer edges of the charts. It would read: "Here be monsters." I wish such a message had been written before the opening credits. Oh, actually it was, but it was in code that I deciphered too late to save myself. It was the part which read: "3 Ninjas High Noon at Mega Mountain." WOE! WOE UNTO ME!!!!

I'm a man with, admittedly, unusual and quirky tastes when it comes to film and film actors/actresses. I like a lot of character actors because they tend to get the most interesting variety of parts. I really loved Victor Wong's career. Memories of his performances in films like 'Tremors,' 'Prince of Darkness,' and especially 'Big Trouble in Little China' (with another favourite of mine, Al Leong -- the Wing Kong Hatchet Man!!! *LOL*) have put me on a quest to see as much of his work as possible.

A quest that died Saturday afternoon just past.

This deeply regrettable, dreckish, foul excuse of a film and the knowledge that Victor Wong appeared in three other incarnations of it is enough to sour even the strongest movie-goers stomach. Victor's appearance in this awful thing is mercifully concentrated in the opening of the film. It gives him no chance to show off any of his inimitable charm and Victor Wong looks like a tired old man weighed down by the two hardest words that any actor will ever have to listen to: Contractual obligation.

Music: insipid. Direction: insipid. Plot: insipid. Dialogue: insipid. Acting: hit and miss.

The kids all deserved better than to be stuck in this film. For fear that they will track me down and beat the heck out of me with their ninja skills, just let me say that they all gave academy award worthy performances. Exhibit A: the two younger brothers manage to keep a straight face and wait -- holding their fight stance -- for thirty seconds as the three bad guy adults struggle to get out of their costumes and dress up again so that the kids can yell "NINJAS!!!" I don't blame the kids for this despite the fact that they were as unwatchable as everything else here. This film will bore parents to death so unless you want orphans, avoid, avoid, AVOID!!!

Victor Wong (let me return to a bright light for a moment) died after this film. Jim Varney, who also appeared in this film, has also since died. You may draw your own conclusions.

Varney, in all fairness, is probably the best thing in this film. His performance takes him in a scene-stealing direction with a bad guy turn. Out-acting Loni Anderson, Hulk Hogan and all three ninjas, he easily comes across as a bully who is picking an acting fight with unarmed opponents ... I said I wasn't going to blame the kids... this wasn't their fault, this wasn't their fault ...

Final Verdict: (un)watchable... BEARABLE only for those who are die-hard Wong or Varney fans. Also bearable if one chants over and over again the words: "this too shall pass." All others should give a miss with extreme prejudice.

A colossal mess. Badly acted, poorly written, sorely misdirected. The "3 Ninjas" series never needed a sequel, much less the uncountable number it has spawned.

The infamous 3 Ninjas go to a theme park in this sequel and use Hulk Hogan to fight off a bunch of terrorists (?). Miserable, putrid stuff. The acting is in league with "Pod People" (1983).

Do NOT watch this movie! I feel stupiderererer already.

0/5 stars.

Another wonderful addition into the 3 Ninjas series. 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain. Some audiences did like this addition, but it was amazing film like the other 3 Ninjas movies. 3 Ninjas are awesome totally. Great selection on bring the legend Hulk Hogan into the picture he was cool.

3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain was also a classic and really good kids family film. A kick-butt action-comedy-family film. The boys, Mathew Botuchis, Michael J. O'Laskey II, and J.P. Roeske II were so awesome in this addition. 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain was so funny and full of true Martial Arts. Victor Wong who starred as Grandpa he did great and connected very well with the boys in this addition. Sean McNamara who directed film. Great work! Sean McNamara and Jeff Phillips thanks for writing such a amazing kick-butt story. 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain rocks!

We all remember watching the 3 Ninjas films as a kid and watching them via Television whenever they showed. 3 Ninjas was always a joy to watch because they kick-butt. There's nothing negative about the films itself. I recommend them for everyone and you should check them out if you haven't today. If you love them you'll love this one too. 3 Ninjas will forever rock your world. These boys are cool.
