Money can't buy knives


On the third day of our expedition we came across a large rubber plant, but unfortunately we cannot cut it down. For as we know, money can't buy knives. I went into a store one time and I said, "Here's a hundred thousand dollars, can I buy a knife?" And he said, "NO! Money can't buy knives."

I know this movie is old, but as a kid I thought this little bit was hilarious. Me and my sister still go back and forth with it.

You Forgot the best part.
"Will nothing shut up this idiot up."
"I'd cut him but I don't have a knife."

reply

Actually I believe it's "Is there no way to shut this chattering Monkey up?"
Just checking

If they're Chinese, why are they ninjas, which is a Japanese thing? As John Madden would say "Now that don't make a licka sense.

reply

They are from Potuson, or something, a made up country, and they never specify which martial art they practice

I haven't killed a man since 1984

A cinematic masterpiece like Surf Ninjas doesn't contain plot holes.

I was just about to come on here and post about how "money can't buy knives."

Oh, that made me laugh so much.

Also, I love this movie for its pure camp factor. They sing damned Baba Ram at the end. Just watch, laugh.. mock.. play Gamegear. Don't question.

Phinn your post really made me laugh

"A cinematic masterpiece like Surf Ninjas doesn't contain plot holes"


reply

yeah, a title like "Surf Ninjas" doesn't give it away at all...totally Surfjitsu

reply

Well they can't very well say Surf Martial Artist now can they? They wanted to market to the kiddies, so what better word relating to violence then Ninjas? What with the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas, etc.

What makes you think they're Chinese? They're SE Asian, they even landed in some mythical island country in the Philippines.

"What if I lose this power? Crap! I just lost this power!"

I'm just starting the DVD of this movie that I just purchased, and I haven't seen it in a few years, so I'm thinking that quote isn't EXACTLY right, but you know what I'm saying.

I was watching the news and it said, "Today the Pentagon tried to buy knives for the troops, but as we all know, money can't buy knives."

Give a guy a gun, he thinks he's Superman. Give him two and he thinks he's God.

Kwansu dudes!!!!

They really love that word. It must mean like...free beer or something.

reply

I've got nothing!!!!

reply

You also forgot the, "Gee, I guess that's why you don't see many of them around."

I watched this movie as a kid repeatedly. Then the video store I was renting if from closed... I was so sad... Oddly enough, I saw part of it on at like 5 AM one day... A few years ago I got the DVD. It's still so funny!

Oh and I love "Money can't buy knives." When you say to people, they say, "What are you talking about, money can buy knives." Although a few times people have said, "You've seen that movie too?!?!" :) It makes me happy. I aim to have my college friends watch it, hee hee.

I own three copies of the VHS, and am constantly on the look out for copies of the DCD. Damn, I love this movie. But what if I can't find a copy of the Surf ninjas DVD?... NOOOOOO!

reply

There definitely are copies, you just may have to look around online... try amazon.com... I think it'll be on there.

Iggy: Knives? Oh yeah, seriously. That's something money can't buy. Knives. Once I went to a cutlery store and said 'Here's $100,000, can I buy a knife?' They said, 'NO. Money can't buy knives.' Gee, I guess that's why you hardly ever see any of 'em around.

Iggy: On the third day of the expedition they came across a giant rubber plant. Unfortunately, they could not cut it down, for as we know, money can't buy knives. Walking around the plant, they continued on the shores of Patusan.
