For those of you who enjoy laughing though anything from Johnny Sokko and His Giant Robot to Plan 9 From Outer Space, this is an under-appreciated gem.I first came across this film as part of a double feature DVD at a 99 Cent Store, around 2002, and even then (I was 10), the poorly printed label and Imation-labeled DVD seemed uniquely cheap. This was one of the films (along with some of the early Godzilla movies and "Gargoyle") that ignited my interest in mock-able/campy films.Let me just describe the first 15 minutes for you: 7 trained ninja children converge on a location. One rides a unicycle, another comes in on a parachute. These children are managed (inexplicably) by a weird servant who wears a purple suit and green tie, and drives they around in a Rolls Royce. They later fight the Triads and stop street crimes, and in general the plot wanders and loses focus. But for those who are looking for this sort of thing, that can only be seen as a bonus. Captivating throughout, this terrible film will keep you on your toes with new surprises every few minutes.A final teaser: the scene where the children frame their "bodyguard" in the pink suit for groping a woman. One of those porcelain Ronald MacDonald statues on benches is involved in the scene.

Over two decades before Kick Ass, the 7 Lucky Ninja Kids – decked out in 1980s street fashion, were trading punches with adult villains to a musical soundtrack composed of almost certainly unlicensed western pop songs. The result is a badly dubbed and unintentionally hilarious movie that was inappropriately marketed to children, despite the violence, mild language and sexual innuendo. Barely a B-movie, 7 Lucky Kids has little- to-no plot and is perhaps most entertaining during the fighting musical montage which introduces the kids before they attempt to return the lost diamond and do battle with an inept gang of mobsters.

This is a fun family film to watch. I see a lot of people slamming it on the net but you need to take it for what it is.......a fun 80's kungfu film with kids. The fight scenes are well choreographed and the acting is well above par for this sort of film. The story is a tad weak but that was okay because I wasn't expecting it to be the caliber of Gone With The Wind. Each kid has a unique fighting specialty and I was very surprised at the level of skill they displayed during the fights. The film was obviously shot in China but its nicely dubbed to English for an easy watch. The music has a strong 80's vibe that gives the film a somewhat campy presence but that is a good quality when you consider the era. I consider 7 Lucky Ninja Kids a winner.

I must have watched this movie literally 100 times or more when I was 12. Haven't seen it since, but I remember thinking that it was amusing, if a bit over the top, and it had all the standard elements of the Kung-Fu movie stereotypes: cardboard box fights in warehouses, people flying through glass plates, etc. I was obsessed with ninjas at the time, and had a crush on the girl ninja kid. I also liked the kids' fashion sense and wanted to dress like them. What does this have to do with the movie? Nothing. Just saying. Anyway, it's a decent movie, not anywhere near being the worst ever made, like someone else here has said. It might be fun if you happen to find it somewhere.
