Surf Ninjas
Surf's up! Time to save the world!
Directed by Neal Israel
Produced by New Line Cinema
A lighthearted, high-energy family adventure that blends surfing culture with martial arts fantasy and comedic fish-out-of-water humor.
Two Asian-American "surfer-dude" brothers discover they are the long lost princes from a China Sea Island. Part of their inheritance includes magically-induced martial arts prowess and seeing the future. Using their new powers, they act to overthrow the island's current dictator, a despotic madman with a metal face!
