Surf Ninjas (1993)
7/10
a little low for Leslie Nielsen, but good just as straight-forward entertainment
12 August 2007
OK, so "Surf Ninjas" is one of those movies that they crank out every once in a while about cool kids clobbering dumb adults. If this one was meant to be completely silly, then they succeeded in every respect, so it's funny if we accept it as such. I will say that it's weird to see Leslie Nielsen as a maniacal tyrant, but even he does some neat stuff. As for the surfing factor, who doesn't love to see some of that on screen (even if, like me, you've never surfed in your life)? There's no shortage of straight-forward entertainment here.

So, it's truly the sort of movie that you watch for pure self-indulgence. Don't approach as you would a Fellini or Kubrick movie.
