When it comes to martial arts movies, it can be tough to blend fighting with comedy. Jackie Chan is considered a master at this. But other martial arts stars of the 70s, 80s and 90s aren’t primarily known for their humor. We’re talking about Bruce Lee, Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal and others. At the same time, the 80s demonstrated an appetite for the martial arts centered, family friendly film (see Karate Kid). So in 1993, we were BLESSED with the amazingly titled “Surf Ninjas”, starring Ernie Reyes Jr. Get your surf wax…

I have no shame in saying I own this on DVD. I loved Surf Ninjas as a kid so much, and as an adult it brings nostalgia and hilarity (like the Street Fighter movie).

- Zatch: Something not even money can buy: the knives of Kwantsu. - Iggy: Knives? Oh yeah, seriously. That's something money can't buy. Knives. Once I went to a cutlery store and said "Here's $100,000, can I buy a knife?". They said, "No. Money can't buy knives". Gee, I guess that's why you hardly ever see any of 'em around.

This movie is part of my childhood and brings back some awesome memories indeed ☺ Being born in 86 the 90's was a excellent time to grow up 👍 Sadly after this movie Ernie Reyes Jr. never got more bigger roles in movies till the Rundown with the Rock 😡 He should have been a martial arts action star during the 90's & early 00's while he was in his ultimate prime. I'm surprised he wasn't cast in the original Power Rangers, Xena, Hercules etc. That's just my opinion 👍 Greetings and one love from the Caribbean ✌😀

I use to watch this movie every time it came in cable whether it was Cinemax or Showtime. I loved the fight scenes cause Ernie Reyes Jr is a powerhouse when it comes to martial arts, it’s a shame he wasn’t in more action films cause he had the skills. With that said, Surf Ninjas is just a cool 90s film that you don’t take seriously, just enjoy the fun atmosphere

Also Ernie Reyes Jr has a small role in Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon another one of my favorites growing up. While he got to fight The Rock in The Rundown, Kelly Hu got to kiss him in The Scorpion King. I'd take Surf Ninjas over all the Three Ninjas movies put together.

Its a really cool kids/pre-teen aged movie. Definitely brings me back to when I was little watching it, and I think that's the best compliment we could give it. It's not a great nuanced story with lots of incredible martial arts scenes, but its not trying to be. It's meant to be fun, and never takes itself too seriously (cue Leslie Nielsen as General Chi, LOL). I bet little kids today would still enjoy this early 90's ninja classic :)
