Beverly Hills Ninja The best part of being a ninja is that the all-black outfit has a slimming effect.Mind you, it doesn't seem to be working on the assassin in this comedy.An American (Nicollette Sheridan) hires Haru (Chris Farley), a klutzy Caucasian adopted by a ninja clan when he was a baby, to investigate her boyfriend's suspicious behaviour.When Haru discovers a counterfeiting operation, he travels to Beverly Hills to advise his client, only to learn she isn't who she said she is and that the case now involves a murder.Watching over Haru, on his Sensei's (Soon-Tek Oh) behest, is his Haru's adopted brother (Robin Shou), who protects him from afar.Although this is not the stout SNL alum's best comic outing, Beverly Hills Ninja does play to Chris Farley's strengths: incessant pratfalls and dumb-guy naivety.Ironically, when you send a fat ninja to California, they come back home anorexic.Yellow Light vidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

The Late Chris Farley, is the main reason why you should watch 'Beverly Hills Ninja'. Farley's films have always been comedies. Right from the cult-classic 'Tommy boy, to 'Black sheep', 'Almost Heroes' and 'Beverly Hills Ninja'. And in all those films, he has excelled.'Beverly Hills Ninja' tells the story of Haru, played by Farley, who was found by a clan of ninjas as an infant in an abandoned treasure chest and was raised by them. He never quite conforms to their culture and never acquires the skills of a ninja, but is nonetheless good-natured and persevering in his personal ambitions. His first mission brings him to Beverly Hills to investigate a recent murder.Now, if your a person who only enjoys 'Intelligent' & 'Real' Cinema, I'd say, Do Not watch this comedy. It's not meant for you. But for those, who admire comedy to the fullest, should not miss this. Sure, some jokes are kiddish, but some jokes, especially towards the finale, manage to bring in laughs.Dennis Dugan has the directed the film fairly. Acting wise: It's Farley who really owns the film. He excels and comes across as cute and soft. If Farley lived more, I am sure, he would have gone a legend.Miss you Farley!

This movie took classic jokes but put them into suck odd places it makes them feel new. So the general plot is that Haru is a baby found on the shore of japan. An old legend of a foreign boy. now for the first time (or at least from the movies I've seen) They had a incorrect "Legend".This movie took classic jokes to new levels.This movie was great and I think that it was a great movie for a quick laugh! now onto the cons. -as it did have some jokes that felt new, others were just the same old ones from about every other movie that used them. Finally is that sometimes everything had the worst luck, I know this is a common element in comedy's but it's really getting old. But overall this is a great movie!

Beverly Hills Ninja is a funny little film, nothing overly special, but still a fun ride that I quite enjoyed. Chris Farley and Robin Shou were the main reason as they brought a lot of humor and laughs to the film, plus Farley is just so great at the physical type humor. This film gets a bad rap, but I think it's a fine little film, and sure it may be a little silly at times but that's what I liked about it, plus The scenes where Chris is practicing by himself at the Dojo are a scream!. The scenes where Chris Rock tired to grab the chickens are also a hoot, and it's just got great slapstick as well, plus I loved the whole cast as well, although the villain was kind of weak in my opinion. There are some really good fight scenes in it as well, and Robin Shou was especially good in them, plus the ending is a hoot and gave me a lot of laughs. Overall this is quite the funny film, if you put your brain in check, and I recommend it to all Comedy lovers your bound to find some enjoyment!. *** out of 5The Acting is lots of fun!. Chris Farley is very funny here, probably at his funniest, he is just awesome at physical Comedy, some of the stuff he does is just plain out crazy, he also always surprises me with his agility I just really dig his humor!. Nicollette Sheridan is pretty no doubt about that but is only OK here, in her role I never found her particularly interesting as she was just eye candy to me. Robin Shou is hilarious and just awesome here, he has great comic timing and is a wonderful martial artist I loved the guy. Nathaniel Parker is OK as the villain never that menacing and overall I found him to be pretty weak. Soon-Tek Oh is funny as the Sensei and brought class I loved him. Chris Rock is hilarious as Joey who wants to be a Ninja, I absolutely loved him!.
