I never forgot it, but not a single person I've ever mentioned this movie to remembers it. Even people I made watch it repeatedly with me. I really loved the shit out of this stupid kung fu kangaroo movie when I was a kid.
"Warriors of Virtue received negative reviews from critics. Film critic Kale Klein of the Carlsbad Current-Argus was so physically distressed by the film that he actually vomited during the initial screenings.
[7] On an episode of Siskel and Ebert,
Gene Siskel voted thumbs down and described
Warriors of Virtue as "Generic junk made for the international action market, a cheap hybrid of
Power Rangers and
Ninja Turtles."
Roger Ebert also voted thumbs down, however he praised the set design by
Eugenio Zanetti and said in his review "he made a great setting for a stupid story".

Rotten Tomatoes based on 11 reviews.
