The all-time ninja classic came on this afternoon. It is definitely better than I remembered. I didn’t watch the entire movie, but I did catch one of the best basketball scenes ever. Colt and Rocky challenge some of the oldest-looking sixth graders I’ve ever seen to a little 2-on-2. The ninjas even spot the hoodlums nine points, ten to win. The stakes? “We win, we get your bikes. We lose, we don’t pound your faces in.”
These older kids stole Emily’s bike earlier in the day, but they forgot one thing–Rocky loves Emily. Needless to say, Rocky and Colt put on a streetball clinic. Rocky dunks from the free throw line. To seal the victory, Rocky tosses an alley-oop to Colt, then he screams a fantastic “Nooo!” as Colt gets caught by one of the sickest undercuts in sports history. The ball rolls to the chubby kid, who drains it from NBA range.
“Hold my hat. I’m not showing off. I’m playing basketball.” – Rocky before losing his, Colt’s, and Emily’s bike.
Everyone should seriously consider purchasing the DVD.
