3 Ninjas Kickback. Rocky, Colt, and TumTum are put to the test in Japan to help save their Grandpa from a life long rivalry and hidden treasure. While in Japan, Rocky meets a girl far more suited for him than Lisa D Murino back home. Colt learns to control his anger and short fuse, being humbled in the process by losing to a girl (same girl Rocky likes) in a martial arts tournament. And TumTum shows zero growth at all and still just makes one liners and eats candy. Also all three play on the same baseball team even though wildly different in age. And Colt throws a ninja ball into the barrel of a gun from across a room. This movie also throws a dash of female empowerment into it by having Rocky’s crush beat up the baseball bullies from the beginning of the movie. Nothing says taking the high ground like beating people up!

A classic of our time. Also the song that plays while they are in the car seeing Japan for the first time slaps something fierce.

Rising Sun - Sean Connery as a Japan expert, who is full of amazingly funny quotes 👌 John Connor: The Japanese have a saying, "Fix the problem, not the blame." Find out what's fucked up and fix it. Nobody gets blamed.
