Customer Reviews of Beverly Hills Ninja
Leonard Maltin says "Don't laugh it isn't intelligent", Leonard Maltin (reviewer) is an uptight, arrogant fool. He prefers acting that is rigid and focused rather than experimental and unique. Chris Farley was a brilliant comedic performer, not because he was overweight and fell through things, but because he was willing to do ANYTHING to make others laugh. Not everything funny has to be intelligent, in fact stupidity is very funny. Farley's acting feels free and natural, and he is in fact one of the most emotional actors I have ever seen. When he is sad, angry, or confused it comes across very well on screen. This movie, "Tommy Boy", and his work on Saturday Night Live all reflect his unique, powerful, incredibly energetic comedic style. If you want to dismiss Farley's comedy as "physical comedy" then you can dismiss Michael Caine's much praised acting as "rigid and strict". In my opinion Farley was a one-of-a-kind actor who strived to be different and Michael Caine is just an actor who strives to be accepted. Leonard Maltin loves white, arrogant, priveleged actors, and so of course he loves Michael Caine. And all critics hate comedy that defies convention.
Chris Farley's "second funniest" movie
INTRO: Well, at least I think its his second funniest movie. The original script for this movie was written up in the mid-80's and took a while to get situated with a company for production. In the end, Chris Farley was hired to play the part of "Haru" the "Great White Ninja". If you haven't seen this, then I suggest you do so.
MOVIE: The movie itself (I'll admit) isn't Farley's funniest, but it is a good one nonetheless. It tells about a Japanese legend that talks about how a "Great White Ninja" would come and be the greatest ninja around, but when a young white baby is found close to a shrine in Japan, they feel its the legend. Soon do they find out that Haru isn't a great ninja...or even a good one for that fact. He is a total foul-up and failure and manages to screw up a lot of stuff. Soon, Haru gets hired for a mission across seas (sorta') and he goes to help. What follows is definitely interesting. And with some other great co-actors Robin Shou (Mortal Kombat) and Chris Rock (SNL) you'll find yourself laughing to the end...especially at the end.
DVD/EXTRAS: The DVD isn't anything to brag about, but its not awful. Its just pretty good. It has some bios, a theatrical trailer, and the typical menus that you find on most average DVDs. This DVD is just good for the movie basically.
OVERALL: Overall, I just suggesting buying this if you love Chris Farley or SNL humor in movie form. Also, if you like Japanes comedies, this will sort of deliver in that field too. All in all, I'm happy to own this DVD and upgrade from my VHS copy.
XD
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.
