Critics' reviews

"Set mostly in Japan and adding a female ninja to the three boys, this high-spirited adventure succeeds in conveying the positive and fun elements of both Japanese and American cultures."

Emanuel Levy: Variety
"Although it is as harmless as its predecessor there is only one sad conclusion to be drawn from this kind of profiteering kiddie fodder: We owe our children better than this."

Seattle Times
"ou don't have to be aligned with the forces of evil to despise this infantile, obnoxious sequel to 1992's surprisingly enjoyable 3 NINJAS."

TV Guide
"Although aimed at children, this smart-looking TriStar release is actually more inventive and better-paced than many a comedy for adults."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"Junk food laced with testosterone."

John Petrakis: Chicago Tribune
"Badly made, badly acted and badly written"

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
"Going from subplot to subplot illustrates the apathy that exists on every level of the filmmaking, from the screenplay to the fight choreography."

Ryan Vlastelica: AV Club
