April, Courtney, and Monica may just be college freshmen, but they can take out an army of ninja assassins with the skill of an ancient master. Schooled in the ancient martial arts by the esteemed Sensei Hiroshi (George Takei), these three beauties spend their days in the classroom and their nights in the strip club - where they work the poles to pay for their college tuition. Then one day, Sensei Hiroshi is abducted and their lives are suddenly turned upside down. Now, in order to rescue their master, April, Courtney, and Monica will have to summon the skills he once taught them and take on a virtual army of mob assassins. With a nosy cop closing in on one side and suspicious parents asking questions on the other, these girls will have to work overtime in order to keep anyone from finding out what kind of destruction they're truly capable of. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    If you don't like this film then you are gay. I don't mean that in an offensive way, but this film is filled with so much female empowerment the ladies should love it and the girls are Ninjas, Cheerleaders AND exotic dancers. So guys MUST love it. It's fast furious fun and is an ... read moreexample of pure cinematic entertainment as opposed to art. There are no pretensions with this film. It's gloriously sweet with Maitland McConnell being the cutest woman ever all smiles and big lovely eyes. The acting is also well above what you'd expect. No the action isn't on par with that of Kill Bill's choreography but the fights are still enjoyable are not so bad that it detracts from the film. Excellent fun.

    I suppose NINJA CHEERLEADERS's script is a decent dispensary for softcore porn; that's in spite of some excruciatingly pitiful, amateurish choreography (even worse than the debut season of BtVS!) and skunky, low-class rock music. In an overarching sense, it is pretty interesting ... read morehow cool ninjas and hot cheerleaders are blended, even when wasteful self-justification still sometimes happens.

    And some particular elements of the script are surprisingly decent -- the flashback interludes to police interrogation are pretty lazy dialogue-wise, but pretty cool story-wise. The rest are clearly awful: the weird cheerleading-coach molestation; the awkward Napoleon "These girls are actually smart!" hogwash; or the ugly anti-misogyny sadism ("What's up with all the nut-crushing?" / Indeed!). On a side note, George Takei has a campy coolness that's pretty interesting; I like his irrepressibly maniacal laugh.

    It has George Takei and is about his star pupils whom are three 19 year-old girls going to community college (they are on a cheer squad there) and work as go-go dancers to pay for going to Brown University. An evil mobster just released wants "his" club back, being the go-go club... read more, which Takei also runs. Takei is kidnapped by the mobster the ninjas must save him. It's silly and poinltess, but a lot of effing fun. If I owned this on DVD it would so be part of the bad movie marathon (more about that in a few days).
