Beverly Hills Ninja Audience Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Jacomedi A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
kaneerj this is one of my favorite movies of all time, it is great and enjoyable, me and my brothers must have watched it once a month growing up and I watched it a few times again as an adult as well, the story was fun, it was funny all around, wish I could have seen more movies from chris farley
Irishchatter Some people say Chris Farley is better off with David Spade. However I think he is still funny as hell regardless! Man, he just got the moves of a true karate kid and champion!I know he was with Chris Rock, it just was so disappointing that he didn't have enough scene's. Both of them would have been great partners to kick the bad guys butts. I wouldn't call them ninjas, I would rather call them Hollywood legends cause really that's who they really are!Robin Shou was awesome. He had amazing stunts and was great in disguising himself as different people so Farley wouldn't know he's really helping him. I really wish I could do these karate moves if I was into doing them a lot lol. That's not gonna happen any time soon unfortunately!I don't know why Chris Farley wasn't proud in doing this film, it was brilliant thanks to him!
capone666 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
namashi_1 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!
