I ain't gon lie this movie is a childhood favorite for me. Lol its a product of its time and Ernie Reyes Jr. was obviously using his TMNT clout but damn it holds a special place in my heart!
I went back and bought the DVD like 7 years ago...gawddamnit I love this movie cause it reminds me of a simpler time. As a kid I would sit around waiting for my Game Gear to show me visions of the future😂
Plenty of movies I grew up with now make me cringe - but you don't really have control of what 5 or 6 vhs/dvds your parents had when you were growing up. After expanding your palate it can be hard to return to the nest of what originally shaped your views on media, but you also learn to see the good with the bad.
@@poposterous236 you make a good point, my parents basically got me anything animated, and because of that i got into anime, so in a way i am grateful.
I love this movie. It's a perfect representation of how everything in the early to mid-90s was "cool kid", surf culture, ninja craziness after the TMNT boom. It's dumb and cheesy, but it makes me nostalgic for my childhood. It's just a fun movie, and maybe nostalgia is blinding me, but maybe you just had to be a kid in the 90s to have fondness for it. I own the DVD and will never get rid of it.
@@garylevine3521 Oh for sure, I'm just throwing in my 2 cents on it. When I saw it was on the Bad Movie Roast I was kind of like "Wait...what?" I mean, does Samurai Cop deserve to be on there? Definitely, it's a poorly made POS, but it's fun to watch how bad it is. Surf Ninjas is a well made, intentionally goofy movie made for kids in the early 90s that knows exactly what it is, much like 3 Ninjas in the same vein. I don't think it's objectively "bad", but that's just my opinion.
When I was a little kid this was also a favorite movie of mine. In the early 90's while I was a little kid my parents would always rent me movies, and a couple of those movies I would end up really liking but somehow I would never see that movie again until a couple years later when I see it on TV. It's like I would see it once and I would really like it, and somehow not seeing it again until a couple years later, it's kind of weird. I remember Camp Nowhere, and Surf Ninjas being some of them.
It's a terrible film, but like many said, when you were young and saw this movie in the 90's,It was a fun time, and you knew it was stupid. Its one of those feel good nostalgia flicks that you just have to watch when you see it again as adult. Dumb as all hell, but it just makes you feel good.
@@sadetwizelve As I said before, it's fun, but even as a kid i knew this was terrible. A MUCH better film would be the first live action TMNT, which this film clearly did a horrible job ripping off.
@@BTT16 how was it terrible in comparison to NINJA TURTLES fighting a modern samurai bootlegger in nyc -___- are you fucking serious,tmnt is way goofier.
@@sadetwizelve Bruh are u friggin serious...Leslie Nielson played a damn wannabe samurai warlord, and the tone of Surf Ninjas was WAY goofier. Why do you think double toasted is making fun of this and NOT the first turtles movie?! Dafuq outta here!!!
This movie was a beloved staple for my family. When my brother was five, he busted his lip and was taken to the hospital for stitches. Hospital procedure requires little kids with injuries to be separately interviewed for possible abuse. They didn't even bother as he was gliding down the hallways in his footies screaming "Surfing Ninjas!!!!"
How the hell did the people behind this movie not know what to do with Leslie Nielsen, the man has had the perfect comedic style since Airplane. His entire comedic style was he acted 100% serious and like he was in a serious production whilst he was doing and saying stupid things. Having him cast as a villain should take zero thought just have him look and act super intimidating and sinister whilst constantly giving stupid orders to his minions and coming up with idiotic plans
I remember getting this film as a birthday gift when I was 9. I honestly didn't expect much from it but it was surprisingly fun to watch. It's definitely stupid but it's not the worst movie to be given as a gift if u grew up loving martial arts like I did.
Red Sonja TMNT 2 The Rundown starring The Rock. I even remember seeing him in a Rush Hour 2 cameo. As many times as I seen that movie, I didn't realize unlike 3 years ago that he was in it.😆 And like 10 years ago I seen him in some movie with Glen Plummer. It was some random shit on Showtime I think. Another random cameo I seen was Steve Carell in Curly Sue.
Like many others mentioned here, i grew up in the 90's, and this was a house staple, on rotation with TMNT 1 and 2, and 3 ninjas. I didn't love the movie, but i enjoyed watching it a lot because it was comfy, and felt like an adventure. Special powers, martial arts, ninjas, cool eye patch dude, and of course, one of my childhood crushes, Kelly Hu.
The 90's. The last great decade for movies. Back when there wasn't as much CGI or numerous teaser trailers. Back when they showed only one trailer. Oh how I miss this kind of Hollywood.
Surf Ninjas is my joint at first I couldn't believe Johnny & Zatch was father & son in real life my mom told me when I was a kid Rob Schneider a trip Kelly Hu was so fine in this & she still is fine I still be watching this on UA-cam it's still great to me forget the haters .
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid lol. This movie was the reason why I begged my mom for a Game Gear. I was so disappointed when I found out that the video game looked nothing like what the younger brother was playing in the movie haha.
Yo yo! This is one of my favorite childhood movies. The little brother with the GAME GEAR, he was prophesied that Johnny would be a great warrior and, he was to be a great see'er. And he connected with his video games them most. He too it everywhere.
Their stepdad had a house right on the damn beach yet, he looked like he drives a taxi cab for a living. lol They could have made him like an uncool/rich business executive.
31:11 How did NOBODY respond to Cjayrc's comment about My Brother & Me ("Gooooo punch!")??? I'm really the only one who knows WTF he's talking about?! That shit hit my nostalgia hard lol. I'll never forget Donnell's catchphrase of "Don't hold your BREATH!" and Dee-Dee gettin' a fucked up Cool Dr. Money haircut!
I thought Korey would have mentioned the whole weird origin of that song Barbara Ann. Something about singing to his little sister but she was 11 or 12 at the time?
Y'all should see some of the films that Tone Loc did: Bebes' Kids, FernGully The Last Rainforest, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and Disney's Blank Check.
Thank you 🙏🏿! I’m telling you, this is a great one because it’s a gem…no other UA-camrs have this one in there “bad movie” deck…BLANK CHECK is good for the next one….more tone loke & a little white boy with a million dollars. Lol what could go wrong 🤷🏾♂️
I wasn't overly looking foward to this bad movie review but jesus christ that song 37:37 had me laughing my fucking ass off I must have looked bloody insane delivering the mail today 🤣🤣🤣
This movie will always have special place in my 90s kids heart especially being that I was a game gear kid. Re watching it as an adult 😬 I was like this is bad still enjoy mainly for nostalgia reasons & I still got some laughs from it. Leslie Nielsen performance always gets me laughing. 4 real If wasn’t a kid in 90s you probably won’t like this lol Korey, Martin & Billy gonna go in on this movie.
@Double Toasted, y’all need to get a old school film called Gymkata. Please get this film and do a bad review on it please or a little film called The Wraith. Those are 2 gems right there. I’ll be waiting.
I dont care whst no one sez. This one of my favorite movies. Im doing $5 worth of damage at the double toasted office. Paper cups and plates are gonna be flying every where. Plaper clips and sparks everywhere as well. For those in the know. Qjuan sue dudes.
YEEEEAAASSSS!!! Man I’ve been waiting for this review since the first bad review! This movie brings me back to family road trips, playing the game version on my sisters sega game gear
This was one of those early movies that my brain just couldn’t understand but absolutely loved. I finally watched it again after so many years, while the nostalgia is there I will admit the movie is just mediocre fun.
Loved this movie as a kid. I'm sure my mom suffered. Didn't care for the roast though. I feel like all the funny parts were completely omitted and they didn't really explain how the story develops. This didn't need no two parter or anything but no mention of how the prophecy just gave the kids their power(hell the game gear gets mentioned at the end), Rob Schneider's irish impression, the "brothers don't surf line". It's like every time a entertaining part of the movie came up, it got skipped. edit: oops I meant scottish.
One thing I miss about the 90s: movies, even bad ones, that are humble enough to keep themselves 90 minutes or less.
I miss 90’s cartoons
But Movies Like Independence Day Were Almost 2h30m long, Even armaggedon, This Movie Was 2h29m Too" so Not Every Movie Was 90 minutes LOL.
It wasn't humbleness, it was the fact that actually film costs money
@@FelipeSantos-ld5cv Oh don't get me wrong. I'm well aware of that. I'm just saying the ratio of movies that go too long is a lot larger these days.
@@Sampin19 fair to point out
I ain't gon lie this movie is a childhood favorite for me. Lol its a product of its time and Ernie Reyes Jr. was obviously using his TMNT clout but damn it holds a special place in my heart!
Likewise. I would say this is one of the earliest movies I ever saw and because of that I feel like I owe it some gratitude for my love for cinema.
I only know this through the TMNT previews before the start of the that film. That and the Hulk Hogan previews
I went back and bought the DVD like 7 years ago...gawddamnit I love this movie cause it reminds me of a simpler time. As a kid I would sit around waiting for my Game Gear to show me visions of the future😂
@@MikeM-np4od pure nostalgia
Right there wit u!
Fun fact, Surf Ninjas used a lot of costumes from the Street Fighter movie, which is why you see so much blue camo.
Yeah & another fun fact the only did 1 take with the fight scenes retakes.
@@reggiewolfpac7711 Common for low budget films, Roger Corman F4 did this too.
@@a.f.watcher8888 I don't know what movie that is but oh ok.
“ gnarley ninjas” the most 90’s quote ever
This movie and 3 Ninjas were on constant rotation when I was a kid.
Lol same. I loved this and 3 Ninjas when I was a kid.
3 ninjas was on every day for me and I didn’t even own the movie, I had to rent it everyday
3 ninjas was very fun, but Kick Back was best of the 4
The Chat was Mad At Korey when he keep on saying the "Sega Genesis Handheld" instead of the Game Gear lol.
Just like all the Morio rage, now he says Mario lol
The amount of people saying they love this movie is exactly why doing these bad movie reviews is God’s work
Agreed. I can’t say my adult mind loves this movie but the kid that watched it in the 90s still loves it. I’m conflicted

Yeah this is 1 of my favorite movies it's on UA-cam I still be watching it bruh.
Korey: "Thanks to four *amphibians* out there..."
Raphael: "Ugh! Where do they come up with this stuff?"
Heck. Even Over The Hedge made fun of that common misconception. Turtles are clearly reptiles lol.
As a kid being home for summer break. I watched this movie 7 times in one day.
This was my jam. lol
You sir, are a true champion
When I was a little kid this was also a favorite movie of mine.

I couldn't stop laughing at Korey imitating the singer when they're surfing 🤣🤣🤣
I still remember Ernie Reyes Jr when he beat The Rock’s ass in The Rundown. He’s a bad man
4 Real & in Surf Ninjas all the fight scenes was in 1 take no retakes.
Yes, he was fine in that too.
Rob Schneider was 30 playing a 15 year old in this!
If there were Oscars for kids movies in 1994, Surf Ninjas would have swept.
Kids choice awards? But eh your right it was all prob rigged.
The one universal fact this movie taught us all, money can't buy knives.
I still use that line when talking about financials lol
Ernie Reyes Jr was that dude in the late 80s early 90s from the Last Dragon, Red Sonya, Side Kicks, TMNT 2, and later the Rundown. 👏👏👏
That whole "I love you, dad" scene...every time the dude falls for it, you can almost hear Shredder from Secret Of The Ooze shout "Do'h, STUPID!".
"Strip Mall Ninjas" needs to become a movie. lol.
Leslie Nielsen as Dr. Doom's low budget half brother
One of my favorite movies growing up. Not surprised it didn’t age well
I love the fact that the ad is so transparent about this movie being a cheap cash in lol.
It's only slightly less subtler than krispie Kreme in power rangers

Bad or not, Surf Ninjas was one of those movies that I’ll watch on the weekend during my childhood along with the Ninja Turtles 💯

I'm not gonna lie, that stair joke would have cracked my little ass up back in the 90s.
Yup
The 1 thing that comes to mind when watching this review is "we need a review of Beverly hills ninja".
I remember renting this as a kid and loving it.
Ernie Reyes was actually in The Ninja Turtles movies which is even crazier lol. #IMissThe90’s #TurtlesFanForLife
He was in that first
@@el-kiote Right. And I think he was actually one of the turtles in the first one.
Yup 1st film he was Donnie then in the 2nd film they gave him the role of Keno
@@jongon0848 Thats what’s up!
I loved this movie cause he was the kid in the last dragon
I was just rewatching this days ago🤣🤣 a nostalgic guilty pleasure. It’s a refreshing movie to watch if you love the 90’s
As bad as “Surf Ninjas” is, compared to “3 Ninjas; it’s “The Raid”.
As a kid I thought they were the pinnacle of cinema 💀
get out.
@@sushitrash7173 lmao the pinnacle 😂

I still have The TMNT 3 tape that has this trailer.
“Another day is done still the hunger buuuurnss inside of me” How did this song get no play on mtv? 😄
And this is the perfect song to play when you drive home from work 😆
“Bend your knees, use your arms.”
00:08 "Who wants their buns toasted?" No, I will NOT apologize for that!

That movie is a classic sir.
I don’t know if that can be considered bad since it’s “bad” on purpose
