Did You Know?
| 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. See more » |
| Goofs | After Colt hits the home run to end the final game, he takes his helmet off before he reaches second base. In baseball, this would result in his run not counting. This would cause the game to be tied instead of over. See more » |
