About This Movie

Pocket Ninjas is this quirky little gem from '97, where rollerblading kids don masks and take on hilariously over-the-top villains, specifically Cobra Khan. The blend of action and comedy feels a bit like a fever dream, with madcap montages and slapstick moments, especially that notable sequence in the balloon factory. You’ll notice the practical effects are charmingly low-budget, giving it a distinctly '90s vibe. The performances are earnest, and the kids really commit to their roles, which adds a nice layer of innocence to the absurdity. This film is a curious mix of adventure and family-friendly humor that seems to have slipped under a lot of radar, yet it’s an interesting watch for those who appreciate offbeat cinema.

Released on VHS and DVD, but hard to find.Features practical effects typical of '90s kids' films.Shot primarily in New Jersey, adding local color.Director Dave Eddy worked on several low-budget projects.
