The martial-arts sequences are zesty, a description that applies to this well-crafted movie as a whole.

By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW

The A.V. Club

While the third film has a little more narrative coherence—involving corporate pollution on a Native American tribe’s land—it’s also lazy in a way that’s hard to look past.

By Ryan Vlastelica FULL REVIEW

Chicago Sun-Times

Ninjas triumph over anything -- except stupid cliches. [18 Apr 1995, p.24]

FULL REVIEW

TV Guide Magazine

Grown-ups will come away feeling violated by the film's clumsy comedy, ancient plot, and unimaginative action sequences.
