Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Very Good

Raised amongst the ninja elite, Haru develops into a big, fat talentless ninja.

She explains her situation and Haru becomes convinced she is a damsel in distress. He goes to the states to help uncover her mystery and save her and unbenounced to him is accompanied by his "brother" who is the most talented ninja. In the states Haru is put up in a fancy hotel where he meets a bellhop (Chris Rock) who he is determined to train to be the "Great Black Ninja". In the states Haru only gets his beautful blonde babe, himself and his ninja brother into more trouble as he blows his cover as a counterfeiter for the babe's boyfriend and is forced to kung fu fight with his assailants. THis movie is great and even has some good action scenes.

Summary: The Least Laughs of Farley's Elite Three
Review: Here is a brief overview:
Haru (Chris Farley) is the only white ninja in China, and a cockeyed one too. He is asked by "Sally" (Nicolette Sheridan), an unknown stranger, to help her. So, Haru goes to Beverly Hills, where he must sort through a conterfeit case. He, along the way, is acused of 2 murders. See the movie to see how Haru uses his 'skill' to get through America.
This movie is hilarious, but I think Black Sheep and Tommy Boys come first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: XD
Review: I don't even like Farley (rest his soul) but I loved this movie! It was hilarious! And I think what made it better was the amount of character development in it, both Haru and his brother (the guy that played Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat). A great buy.

Summary: Funny Stuff
Review: I like this movie. Its so ridiculous, you cant help but laugh. My favorite part was when Farley uses the big fish as samurai swords. Funny stuff.

Summary: good movie, shame theres no bonus features
Review: I rate this DVD down lower because it dosent contain any bonus features. The movie is one of Chris Farleys best. But the lack of NO bonus features brings my rating for it down. When are these people who put these DVD's together come to relise that a trailer is NOT a special feature? Trailers are a standard that should come with any, if every DVD... its such a shame they treat great movies so poorly, and all the crap ones come with 2 discs of bonus material... who ever makes these things needs to rethink there stratagy i think

And my regoiun 4 version didnt even come with the production notes... no that it would have helped .... but the great Late Chris Farley should have a little more respect for his great movies he did in a short time, compared to the way this one has been treated.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst of Chris Farley?
Review: I really enjoy Chris Farley in Saturday Night Live and in Tommy Boy, and I was hoping for that quality of comedy in this movie. This movie, though, shows me that he can't carry a movie on his own. This movie has an incredibly lame plot which is predictably boring. Normally Farley flipping and flopping around is funny, but in this movie, it is rather forced instead than his natural zanny stunts. Half way through this movie I asked my friend if we should stop watching... It's that bad! There are a few slightly funny moments in the movie, but they aren't worth the pain of sitting through the rest.

Chris was a great comedian, but let's not fluff our reviews out of sympathy for the deceased.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Movie was great... DVD- dissapointment
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. Though slapstick humor isn't really my thing, I guess as a black belt in Martial arts myself, having the show revolve around Martial Arts from awesome moves, to the complete rediculous was enjoyable. Chris Farely did a far better job than in Black Sheep which was almost the same movie as Tommy boy, and the kind of boring "Almost heroes" which just kind of dragged on.

the movie itself was a great show, but I was extremely disappointed in the DVD version. DVD's have been around for a while before they released this movie, and they have done great things with them. Behind the scenes looks, interviews, language changes, subtitles, deleted scenes, character and actor bios, and much more can be found in the special menus. On my Mortal Kombat 2 and Crow:Salvation DVD they even added a mini interactive game.

This special menu had cast bios and the trailer. That is it. Nothing else. I know there were a lot of deleted funny scenes because they showed the movie deleted scenes and all, on tv last year. And Robin Shou (Who played Gobi, Haru's adopted brother) Had just as big of a part as Chris Rock, and was more of an important character since he took all the heat for keeping Haru out of trouble, and yet he wasn't even added in the actor bio.

It just lacked a lot of extras that could have made it a great DVD. So the movie was hilarious...yes it was stupid, but come on, at least it was meant to be unlike some movies that send people home laughing when they were trying to be serious...And I loved the acting of all the characters, all who blended perfectly with eachother. (Especially Soon Tek Oh- Haru's adopted father). But the DVD just could have done a lot more in the extras department. This seemed more like the first line of DVD's rather than the already advanced and sophisticated one with extras we've come to love. The VHS is cheaper, just as good quality, and same movie.
