Development
Pocket Ninjas was originally entitled Skate Dragons and the original screenplay was by Mark Williams. The film was made by Cine Excel Entertainment, who also made Future War. The film was intended to be a children's version of The Roller Blade Seven that would showcase Jacksons' "Roller Cam" cinematography and "Zen Film-making" style. However, Jackson was replaced when executive producer Huey felt the "Zen Film-making" style was not working. Eddy was brought in to create a wrap around for the Jackson and Huey footage.
I was financed by a company who wanted children's films. So, what I did, was give them the Donald G. Jackson version of a children's film - weird. These films were all script based. I would come up with the story and they were written by Mark Williams.
— Donald G. Jackson [1]
