3 Ninjas Trilogy w/Bygone Geek

It's Trilogy Time again! This week we are joined by Eric from Bygone Geek Podcast to discuss one of Aprill's favorite trilogies growing up -- 3 NINJAS! We are rounding off 1992 with what some may call a cult classic and others may call a waste of four hours of their lives. You be the judge on which category you fall into. Come along with us as we battle with American trained Ninjas, Japanese Ninjas and the ever popular Cowboys and Native Americans.

While each of the three movies we are discussing - 3 Ninjas, 3 Ninjas Kick Back, and 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up - all showcase classic 90s male geared themes, we also discuss how these films really do NOT hold up in today's day. and age These movies aren't only confusing in their timeline (Knuckle Up being filmed before Kick Back, but released after), the switching up of two of the main actors, but also are not very culturally appropriate with how they handled certain aspects.

While they will always hold a special place in Aprill's heart for the memories they bring back - we all can't help but agree that these would be massive bombs if released today. Certain themes in the movies could be applied today, however, it's hard to get over how overshadowed those were when up against extreme type-casting and all around not very good stories.

Let us know - did you ever watch these growing up? If so, who did you like most: Rocky, Colt, Tum-Tum or Grandpa?
