History YMMV / SurfNinjas

* FridgeLogic: At the end of the restaurant fight scene, Adam says, "I beat my best score!" Does this mean he's played this fight before?

** A subpar side-scrolling brawler on the UsefulNotes/AmigaCD32 was turned into a ''Surf Ninjas'' tie-in for no readily apparent reason, with the protagonist not being redrawn to reflect this. Who even remembers the Johnny of the movie being a white Marines reject who can rip out the hearts of his enemies? Even discounting the fact that it was [[InNameOnly falsely titled]] just as a cash-in, the game itself is terrible. You get hurt by ''jumping''.

** The dungeon master is a bit clumsy and almost gets Colonel Chi's implants wet, leading to a GroinAttack threat with an electric carving knife. During the FinalBattle, he is thrown down a huge staircase by Johnny, then Ro-May, then by himself because he doesn't want to fight anymore.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Just as Johnny, Adam and everyone are getting ready to infiltration of Colonel Chi's island base via surfboarding. Iggy finally admits that he never actually learned how to surf. While Adam does tease him about it a little, pointing out that everyone already knew and thought it was funny. Johnny sincerely offers his friend a "[[CallBack But what if you could]]? The ability is within you."

** The Game Gear game did not garner very good reviews upon release. Among other complaints, the controls were finicky and required a particular double-tap jumping move to clear the platforms.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The Game Gear game did not garner very good reviews upon release. Among other complaints, the controls were finicky and required a particular double-tap jumping move to clear the platforms.

* SoBadItsGood: It's hard to say whether or not this was intentional, but the movie definitely doesn't take itself very seriously.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Just about all of Rob Schneider's lines. Particularly when he starts believing he has a supernatural ability based on him saying "What if?"
** "What if I lose this power?" and after a short pause "Oh my god I lost it!" It's funny in context.
** "What if I could control the outcome of this fight?"
** "Money can't buy knives"
