"Pocket Ninjas" is a quirky action-adventure series set in New Jersey, featuring a group of masked, rollerblading kids who train rigorously to fight the villainous Cobra Khan, played by Robert Z'Dar. The show combines high-energy fight sequences with imaginative storytelling, including slapstick moments in a balloon factory and a climactic virtual reality battle, making it a unique blend of martial arts and comedy.
Trivia:
1. Robert Z'Dar, known for his distinctive jawline and cult roles in action films, brought a menacing yet campy presence to the role of Cobra Khan, elevating the show's quirky villainy.
2. Brad Bufanda, who plays Steve, was also notable for his work in darker dramas, making his role in this lighthearted, rollerblading kids' series a playful departure from his usual performances.
3. The rollerblading sequences were choreographed by professional skaters, adding authentic athleticism to the action scenes and showcasing a nostalgic 90s rollerblading culture.
