3 Ninjas was a surprising box-office hit with the Saturday matinee family crowd, earning the highest cost-to-profit ratio of that year and instantly mandating this all-too-unnecessary sequel.

3 Ninjas Kick Back is just as lively and engaging as the 1992 original
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Fantasy is one thing. 3 Ninjas Kick Back is something else entirely: junk food laced with testosterone.
John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
Clearly made with an eye on the international market, this movie is set for the most part in Japan, shrewdly adding a female ninja to the three boys, thus broadening the potential demographics.
Emanuel Levy, Variety
Rotten
Instead of exalting physical grace and virtuosity, this film's slapdash action sequences resort repeatedly to the old trick of accelerating the action to the speed of a silent-film chase.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
