    This movie is so bad it's good.

    God bless Nico is what I say. This is B-movie perfection. Stereotypes are twisted and turned every which way possible. The film is so light hearted and mad-cap that you can't help but laugh your way through.

    The greatest thing about this movie is that it gleefully breaks all the rules and mocks the martial arts movie genre soundly, while not completely disrespecting it.

    The level of absurdity could not be raised much higher than it was raised here in Ninja Academy. You either love it or hate it I suppose. If you like B-movies then you'll adore it. Otherwise, your taste is too refined and elite for me.

    Amazingly bad

    Rarely does one see a modern silent comedy, and one often wonders what one would be like. Well, this is pretty much it. Don't get me wrong, this is a VERY bad movie. But overall I found it enjoyable. The characters are SOOO absurd, and the attempts at humor are SOOO pathetic, one cannot help but laughing. This movie is so bad that MST3K couldn't make it any funnier, it's glaringly pathetic enough as is. As long as you don't take this movie at all seriously, I think you'll enjoy watching it.

    Ouch

    The cover compared it to Police Academy and I was sold. I felt that the boast was enough to guarantee me a laugh or two. I didn't laugh once. It was really bad. And I didn't think I could hate a song more than Gasolina but every time the Hokey Pokey song came on, just made me hate the movie more and more. I eventually realized it's pretty much the only thing they use in the movie. My son thought that the main character was Matthew Perry. That doesn't say much for the main character as we already had a Matthew Perry. The story is ludicrous. The idea is creative but very poorly executed. It is movies like this that make me want to choose a film with extra caution next time.

    Utter rubbish

    Have to say this was meant to be a copy of police academy but with ninjas instead one of the west films I have ever watched.. It's just not even well written it's about 2 different sensi who have there own ninja academies they end up teaching some Fuentes and iUts including a mime artist a 007 lookalike someone who speaks with a hoarse voice and woman who can't act one little bit .

    Then the 2 sensi teachers fight each other also the students get attacked by the bad ninja teacher and I don't know trying to explain that this is just total noncence and my dog even turned his nose up no at watching this avoid and would recommend watching some paint to dry instead.

    Awful, awful, awful!

    As a part of my quest to watch every ninja movie I could get my hand on, I viewed this last night. Apparently released as a five-years-too-late cash-in on the Police Academy craze, Nico Mastorakis, who also brought us Glitch! and .com for Murder, saw fit to put Ninja Academy on the screen. The movie flagrantly combines the idiotic wackiness of the Police Academy movies with the kind of directorial judgment you'd expect from someone with advanced Alzheimers, not to mention one of the doughiest, most idiotic villains ever seen in a martial arts film. The movie has about the kind of humor usually aimed at second graders, but boasts too much nudity and dirty language to be shown to them. Which leaves me with the theory that this movie must have been created for adults with mild to severe mental retardation.

    Fortunately, most of the people associated with this film have gone on to careers in the food service and janitorial industries, save Mastorakis, who inexplicably continues to receive funding for his films. Avoid unless you hate yourself.
