Surf Ninjas is a 1993 movie, starring Ernie Reyes Jr., Rob Schneider, Nicolas Cowan, and Leslie Nielsen, about two teens named Johnny and Adam (Reyes Jr. and Cowan) who find out that they are heirs to a kingdom on a supposedly unknown island called Patu San. Their uncle, Zatch (Ernie Reyes Sr.), comes to save them and their friend Iggy (Schneider) from mercenaries that pursue them, and the story unfolds.
The film features the prominent appearance of the Sega Game Gear portable, which is owned by Adam and even plays an integral part in the story. There is also a video game adaptation of the movie in the same portable.
Trivia
- When Iggy is told he's not a Patusani prince since he's not Asian, he cites David Carradine as proof that he is, undoubtably a reference to the fact that Carradine played a Chinese man in the TV series Kung Fu, despite being Caucasian. Interestingly, Rob Schneider is in fact 1/4 Filipino, and thus really is Asian.
- Adam calls the ninjas Quimbys, possibly a reference to Chief Quimby of Inspector Gadget, who often wore outlandish disguises.
- For his presentation to the Baba Ram of Mee Grob, a holy man introduced in the story, Johnny and some back-up singers perform a spoof of the popular song Barbara Ann by The Beach Boys. The song appears again at the end of the movie in its unaltered form.
- In a December 1999 interview with Stuff magazine, actress Kelly Hu reminisced about her experience making the film:
"The very first time I ever did any stunt work was in Thailand on this wild movie — Surf Ninjas," 'Martial Law' star Kelly Hu recalled. "I was supposed to beat up this one guy by kicking him in the groin. I told him he should wear a cup, but he said, 'No! I tough! I stuntman.' Of course, I nailed him in the nuts. Everybody in the crew went, 'Ohhh!' He didn't get up."
