Summary: AAHHHHHH!
Review: That's Chris Farley's scream when he gets pulled through the wall on the harpoon cannon and one of the funniest moments on this Chris Farley classic. You can imagine how terrible at stealth tactics Chris was in this movie, and he's the biggest ninja blooper ever (jumping in dumpsters, getting his shirt caught on moving fences, tearing up sunroofs and bedsheets, etc.). CHRIS FARLEY ROCKS!

Summary: Boo, hoo, hoo!
Review: the preview made it look so god, but when i saw it, i thought oh, my god! not Farley's best work, is wasn't even funny at all. an instant classic, give me a break. it was shameful for me to watch all 90 minutes of it in the movie theater. don't get me wrong there were about 2 or 3 three funny parts in it, and that's about it. chris rock was good, farley was okay, that guy, lui kang from mortal kombat, couldn't have done a worse job, yeah that's right, a WORSE job. i think this movie could have been a lot funnier and better. the story was also idiotic. some sort of chosen one will be washed up on the shore, and look ho they got. they should go back to the shore and see if the real chosen one is there. i went, i saw, i didn't like it.

Summary: Childish and Silly
Review: This is clearly a silly movie. It has convinced me to avoid any comedy that Chris Farley has a major part in it.This movie is a disgrace. Gives a bad name to comedy.

Summary: A funny movie that makes the dumbness in it seem ok.
Review: This movie is dumb. But unlike other movies I think that help the movie because it is not the story that is dumb in its own way its the people that are dumb. So that helps the movie by making it funnier then lamer with so much humor that the movie just isint fun. I give it 3 stars because the writing could have been better but the acting was more shiney from some people as from when they could have done better that would of helped the movie a lot more.

Summary: This movie was funny and inspiring
Review: This movie shows how a person can be inept at first, but with practice, and training, can overcome any of life's challenges. Even if you look kinda goofy doing it, you still get the job done. Packed with funny jokes and crazy moments, sub-par (a.k.a. above par) fighting sequences, and a few moral lessons thrown in for good measure. Unlike many movies, I felt better after watching this than I did before. P.S.- I've trained in the martial arts for 7 years. This put a funny twist on it all. :) If anything, this movie will help us take ourselves less seriously, and be happier people because of it.

Summary: Not Chris Farley's finest hour....
Review: This one was funny but I think it could've been a little better. Chris Farley in BEVERLY HILLS NINJA was a good role for him and I have to give him his props because he did a lot of his own stunts and he studied and trained in martial arts for months before they started shooting this movie. And like all Chris Farley movies, there is loads and loads of physical comedy in this one. And who could forget his side kick and another SNL alumni, Chris Rock. The story outs that it is written that one day a foreign child would come to a clan of ninjas and that foreign child would be the Greatest Ninja ever. Boy were they ever wrong! Now 20 years after the arrival of Haru (Farley) and still no sign of greatness, his master and father feels that he will never be a true ninja. One night while training by himself, a woman stops in their dojo and tells Haru of her problem that she suspects that her boyfriend is doing something illegal. After spying on him, he finds out that her boyfriend is a crime boss and now Haru must travel to America, stop him and protect the girl. But he won't be alone because following him in the shadows is his friend Gobei (Robin Shou). You can't deny it, this movie had a lot of funny parts to it like when Farley is disguise, the fight scenes are also good in the sense of a goof martial arts fight scene and they're pretty funny as well (the sushi bar fight). My problem with this movie is that Chris Rock's character really didn't get to be funny. He was pretty much just there and he really didn't do much. My other problem was that Robin Shou was trying to be funny and he's just not funny at all. I just thought he was trying a little too hard and it didn't turn out right. In any case, I still think it's worth picking up. Those were my only real problems with this movie and I actually only wanted to take off ½ a star but I can't do that so I have to give 4. While you're at it, check out Chris Farley and David Spade in TOMMY BOY, Robin Shou in MORTAL KOMBAT and Chris Rock in LETHAL WEAPON 4 and DOGMA.

Summary: Worst of Chris Farley?
Review: Though an occasional laugh, Beverly Hills Ninja is not funny. I have no idea why, but it reminded me of Saving Silverman. Why I titled my review "depressing" was because of the late (and great) Chris Farley. While he was definately overweight in "Tommy Boy," he still had a cute quality. In this film, he is even heavier, ... Often it seems like he is uninterested in the film, and while the tale of a large American as a Ninja, or a "mighty dojo" sounds funny, this is poorly executed. The story is pretty straight foreward; Chris Farely, as a baby, winds up on the shores of Japan. The legend had it that a minority (to them) would be an excellent warrior. That obviously isn't true. While Farely shows excellent physical comedy, it is apparent that there is a second layer beneath this funny man. Dissapointing. Chris Rock has a cameo.
