These facts are from www.geocities.com/ninjasgalaxy :

The boys, Michael Treanor, Max Slade and Chad Power wrestles each other between breaks

Mike was a 2nd degree black belt in karate during Knuckle up. He's currentely a 3rd degree

Mike and Max were like brothers. Quote from mike. "Once Max got my into a headlock while I was memorizing my lines. I got him pinned pretty quick. It was funny watching him trying to get out of my grip. He wouldn't give up til 10 minutes later. THe kid needs to know when to give up! Heehee."

Chad Power really did love candy. (don't we all?)

Once a shoot is lasted til 4 a.m. in the morning(knuckle up). (this is pretty normal)

Max Eliott Slade was a brown belt in knuckle up

Chad Power was a black belt, 1st degree(it goes 1st, 2nd, 3rd...etc)

Michael Treanor hates acting.

Mike T. is friends with actor Elijah Wood, they met on the set of Tiger Beat

Evan Bonifant from 3 ninjas kick back still contacts with Max Slade.

Chad Power's sis was in 3 ninjas' knuckle up(small part)

Michael Treanor's sis Erin was in both 3 ninjas and 3 ninjas knuckle up (small part)

The original ending of the movie to 3 ninjas was cut off. It was really the Rocky fighting the bullies. The day after the showdown Rocky fights one of bad guys at school and wins back his girl friend's, Colt's and his bike. The German rental video and tv broadcasts show. (IMDB credit)

A LOT of parts from 3 Ninjas were cut off.

Max Slade plays the guiter

There are rumors that there will be a 5th 3 ninjas movie. so far no facts backing it up though...

Max use to be on his high school baseball and swimming team

Mike is on his college wrestling team right now

Chad is on his high school wrestling team

Max and Chad use to double team on Mike when they wrestle. That's the only way they could win!

Matthew Butchuis(Rocky in HighNoon) is a karate belt and division winner in Ohio.

Victor Wong(Granpa) thought the the fourth 3 ninjas movies, high noon on mega mountain is the best of the 4 because they developed the boys' character deeper. (huh?)

Michael J. O'laskey II(Colt in High Noon) is a Tae Kwon Doe Black belt.
Despite the LONG LONG list of stunt people, all of the actors did do some of their own stunts.

Michael Treanor is a Lutheran

JP Roeske III(TumTum in High Noon) did ALL of his stunts coz they couldn't find a stunt person his size. (heehee)

JP's a black belt in Karate and has won NUMEROUS of titles.

Matthew Butchuis now lives in North Hollywood

JP's sister Emily, who is also a karate Champion had a small part in High Noon

Matthew's first on screen kiss was with co-star Lindsay Felton.

These facts are from http://members.tripod.com/~threeninjas/ :

*Max Slade picked out his middle name Elliott himself after watching the movie, E.T.

*The movie 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up is actually the 2nd 3 Ninjas movie, not 3 Ninjas Kick Back. It was originally titled 3 Ninjas 2, but ended up coming out after the 3rd movie came out. Apparently the reason why 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up did not come out first was because some legal stuff had kept it from being released.

*3 Ninjas Kick Back was originally titled 3 Ninjas Go To Japan.

*Max Slade, who has a brown belt in Karate, said that he doesn't practice Karate regularly anymore. "I don't know if I'm taking a break or if I'm ever going back to it." he has admitted.

*While filming 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up, Max Slade, Michael Treanor and Chad Power spent their time in between takes playing ping-pong and wrestling with one another!

*Max Slade has said that he would love to do an action film with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

*Michael Treanor has a black belt in Karate.

*Max Slade and Sean Fox got along very well during the filming of 3 Ninjas Kick Back. Not only did the two of them spend 11 hours straight talking during their flight to Japan, but they also shared a hotel room while there.

*Max and Sean also gave 'lil Evan Bonifant the little brother treatment during the filming of the movie by teasing him and tossing him onto beds, etc...

*Max Slade has said back in 1994 that he liked the music group, Color Me Badd.

*Here is a REALLY cute quote by Michael Treanor;
"Tae kwon do is a Korean martial art, and Karate is Japanese. Tae kwon do has 80 percent kicking and 30 percent punches - I mean 20 percent punches! Okay, so I haven't done math in a while."

*Max Slade played baseball when he was in school.

*J.P. Roeske's sister Emily had a very small part in 3 Ninjas: High Noon At Mega Mountain.

*Max Slade's older brother, Demian, also used to be an actor. He has appeared in such films as Back To The Beach and Better Off Dead.

*Michael Treanor's older sister Erin appeared in 3 Ninjas Knuckle Up and so did Chad Power's little sister.

*Max was named "Student Of The Year" when he was in school.

*Max said back in 1994 that he enjoyed watching old reruns of The Dick Van Dyke Show and I love Lucy.

*The original ending of 3 Ninjas was cut out of the movie.
