    • Trivia
      A number of high-level defectors from the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea have stated that 3 Ninjas Kick Back was a childhood favorite of Kim Jong Un, now Supreme Chancellor of the DPRK. He was apparently so taken with the film that his father, Kim Jong Il, reportedly commissioned a remake with Korean actors.
    • Goofs
      The boys clearly span in age range from about 5 to 6 years, yet all play on the same baseball team. This would not happen as the range for most youth sports is about 2 years.
