chris farley more one time make other silly comedy, but beverly hills ninja doesn' t have one single not funny scene and entertaining, something rare in an american comedy movie from 90' s. beverly hills is not the best movie by farley, that was a unique and terrific comedian, but definitely isn' t the worst and promise all the time great laughs. fresh .

beverly hills ninja
is a silly movie, with silly jokes and a silly story. but the talents at work in it are not silly. the picture has, at worst, a 10 - minute sag in the middle. but the rest of it is a pleasure .
did you catch that bit? it means that somewhere, there’s a mysterious korean who thought beverly hills ninja 2 starring david hasselhoff was a good enough idea that he was willing to finance the entire project himself. i picture this guy as a cross between steven seagal and jackie treehorn .
urltoken all got our stock answers for when urltoken asked about our favorite film of all time. not just that, but you also have to be able to provide a sturdy reason for why you love the movie, all while trying not to sound pretentious. no one can accuse christian bale of being the latter though, because when he was asked what his favorite film of all time was the welsh actor rather surprisingly revealed that it is the chris farley - led 1997 comedy beverly hills ninja. despite currently having an imdb rating of 5. 5 and just 14% on rotten tomatoes, christian bale has been able to overlook the critical mauling of beverly hills ninja. in fact, bale insisted that he absolutely adores beverly hills ninja because it managed to make him weep with mirth two days in a row. the batman begins actor actually made this revelation to esquire, via yahoo ,
nearly four years ago, the unlikely sequel beverly hills ninja 2 was greenlit as the first mainstream hollywood film to shoot in south korea, symbolizing just how much america values that special relationship. unfortunately, the would - be continuation of a story even cable has forgotten hit a few significant snags along the way, not least of which is that it was a sequel to the commercially dismal, critically reviled beverly hills ninja —a project chris farley himself would refuse even if he weren’t dead, which forced the producers to find a replacement star in david hasselhoff, who would do it ...

ah, the eternal middle - man dilemma. if your only job is to put people together, what’s to stop them from telling you to f * ck off once they’ve met? anyway, two koreans arguing over money, i could see that anywhere. what of beverly hills ninja 2, starring david hasselhoff? !
for a guy who’s been dead for over a decade, chris farley has been dominating empire’s thoughts today. not just because his younger brother, kevin, has been involved in the creation of david spade’s new film, but because – somewhat incredibly – a sequel to his 1993 hit, beverly hills ninja has just been announced .
if you’re wondering how that justifies the use of the beverly hills ninja brand name (and there’s a sentence we never thought we’d write), well, the movie will be written and directed by mitch klebanoff, a writer and co - producer on the original. it remains to be seen if there are any further links .
farley is at his best playing someone trying to contain an innate hysteria. that' s why the ninja gimmick is an inspiration. when the young ninja acciden tally finds himself onstage in a beverly hills strip joint, the kick is not just in watching farley disintegrate into a wild man, it' s in watching him struggle against his natural impulse. it' s in knowing this character better than he knows himself .

prophesied in the sacred scrolls. hired by a mystery woman (nicollette sheridan) to spy on her boyfriend, he pursues the case all the way to beverly hills, where he leaves his shoes outside his posh hotel every day - - only to have the maintenance man dispose of them .
an average comedy from late comedian chris farley. stupid in every respect, but still lots of fun, chris farley delivers yet another silly performance. beverly hills ninja may not be chris farley' s best effort, but it definitely has good enough moments to make you laugh. he does all his usual antics here, and he definitely knows how to make you laugh. beverly hills cop is not a perfect film, but it has enough good moments to make you laugh and enjoy yourself. chris farley was good comedian and he always managed to make me laugh. beverly hills cop isn' t his greatest film, but it definitely isn' t his worst. there' s enough laughs in this film to make this a decent comedy, and despite the fact that it slows down somewhat, there' s enough elements to enjoy in this wacky comedy to be entertained. sadly this would be one of chris farley' s last film roles, as he would pass away the same year from a drug overdose. looking back at his short career, he has made quite a few memorable comedy films. never perfect, but funny enough to uplift your mood. beverly hills ninja is such a film, though not his best, this film has plenty of good, funny elements to deliver you a great time. what do you expect from an eccentric comedian such as chris farley? he was unique and watching his films, you' ll understand why. beverly hills ninja is a fun comedy with good laughs and has everything you' d expect from a chris farley film, however my personal favorite of his, is tommy boy .
white orphan boy being found in a treasure chest by a clan of ninjas and then raised in their ways, before then traveling to beverly hills to investigate a murder mystery, is obviously the perfect tonic after a hard day’s work for christian bale. check out a clip from
: haru' s ninja clan. the sensei is shocked when he hears reports of a ninja committing a murder. odd for a group that developed as spies and assassins for hire. their training techniques, temple layout, orange clothing, and aversion to murder seems to show they were not based off ninja, but instead shaolin monks .
i always choose… the default answer for me is beverly hills ninja. it’s an easy one to give because most people go,' what? oh, okay. ’ but chris farley’s fantastic. clearly i’ve got other films, but i just watched that two nights in a row and was crying with laughter both times, so i just went,' yeah i’ll give that as my answer. ’
if you like chris farley, see tommy boy or black sheep. beverly hills ninja doesn' t cut it. farley, himself, is his usual; a blubbering idiot that runs into a lot of walls. it gets old after a couple movies. though the plot is fairly good, most of the movie is dumb, the jokes are stupid, and his sidekick (chris rock) is a moron .
more recently comes a lawsuit from jay so, who, in perhaps the saddest part of the lawsuit, was once a scholarship student and a best picture - winning graduate of afi, who says he was unlawfully terminated by investors and stiffed on his promised $ 100, 000 producing fee. for trying to produce beverly hills ninja 2. starring david hasselhoff. (really, i can’t stress this part enough) .
christian bale has a strong reputation as one of this generation' s more serious actors. so when it was revealed a few years ago that beverly hills ninja is his favorite movie, it took some fans by surprise. though, it kind of makes sense. the actor is known for taking on mostly dramatic roles, as well as for playing the most brooding batman to ever hit the big screen in the dark knight trilogy. of course he' d gravitate towards lighter fare while enjoying himself at the movies. some believe that this is just an interesting fun fact that holds no merit or weight. while the idea that christian bale loves beverly hills ninja has been the subject of many listicles, no one ever bothers to source the original link this info came from. until now. yahoo has tracked this bit of trivia back to an esquire interview from 2010. the actor was
beverly hills ninja starring: chris farley, nicolette sheridan, chris rock and robin shou genre: action / comedy rated: pg - 13 this is one of the most funniest chris farley movies ever! the movie is a where a child becomes the great white ninja but not really great because haru (chris farley) keeps making one mistake after another! but when a beautiful stranger (nicolette sheridan) needs his help he goes to beverly hills and fight all the bad guys and doesn' t know that his brother gobei (robin shou) is helping him and joey (chris rock) helps haru out later in this movie. i thought the movie was funny because chris farley' s phyiscal comedy is hilarious! i laughed til i cried! this was one of chris farley' s last movies before his death in late 1997, i miss chris farley i wish he never died .
so david hasselhoff has signed on for a sequel to beverly hills ninja, one of those awful latter - day chris farley movies. this has serious potential to be the worst sequel ever made tm, but there' s some heavy competition. here' s a look at the worst of the worst. feel free to nominate your own candidates in the comments. (or defend a personal favorite, like if you really love grease 2. )
but what’s really interesting empire is the decision to shoot the film entirely in south korea (we’re guessing that there might be some location in and around beverly hills, otherwise they might as well call it clapham junction ninja). atm, which is stumping up the cash (sony, which produced the first movie, has us distribution rights to this sequel) is a south korean company, and presumably it’s a lot cheaper to shoot over there, particularly in the current economic climate .
he [ so ] adds that he set up the production entitity, “beverly hills ninja 2, llc, ” contacted and worked with visual effects and bonding companies to obtain estimates for the film, met with sony, negotiated waivers with the guilds to start casting, and so forth. then, in may 2008, he says that klebanoff and han made a deal with each other without his knowledge to change the name of the production entity to “bhn2, llc” and replace him with han .
one example: there' s a running joke in which the spirit of the young ninja (farley) leaves his body to commune with his ninja master. each time his spirit returns, the impact sends farley blasting backward, through walls and windows. the bit gets funnier each time .
sometime later back in japan, haru informs his sensei he will be returning to beverly hills to live with his girlfriend alison. haru and alison leave together on a bus. a grappling hook tied to a rope has fallen from the bus and hooks into gobei' s wheelchair, causing him to be thrown into the ocean. haru shouts an apology to gobei .
afterwards, so claims that he commenced substantial pre - production efforts and activities, including sourcing potential investors. he says that he was the one who lined up jungho han, the korean who agreed to provide 100 percent of the financing for the project. he adds that he set up the production entitity ,
beverly hills ninja 2, llc ,
contacted and worked with visual effects and bonding companies to obtain estimates for the film, met with sony, negotiated waivers with the guilds to start casting, and so forth .
mighty whitey: parodied. haru is the most incompetent ninja in the entire movie, although this says less about his race than it does his character .

instead it all boils down to soured relations between the movie' s korean investors and producer jay so—a man described, in perhaps the story' s saddest detail, as a former “prestigious scholarship recipient” at the american film institute who graduated with a best picture award, then suddenly found himself setting up a production entity titled “ beverly hills ninja 2, llc” and spending much of a year working on that, as well as telling people that’s who he worked for. as a reward for his devotion, so soon found himself ousted from the production without explanation by original screenwriter mitchell klebanoff, who struck a secret deal to replace him with producer jungho han. and then—just as those two had finally completed some shoots with hasselhoff in l. a. and vancouver, and seemed ready to make totally unmerited movie magic—klebanoff too was fired, after he and han “argued over things like whether the film' s lead actress should appear nude in the film. ” which, obviously she should, because otherwise it is a beverly hills ninja sequel with david hasselhoff and zero female nudity .
this formulaic tale of a ninja klutz trying to break a counterfeit ring can be recommended only to undemanding children, and even they may find it a drag .
naked women? no no no. nothing should distract from david hasselhoff playing a ninja. jesus, man, it’s like you don’t even understand the appeal .

one night, while the rest of the clan is away, their dojo is visited by a beautiful woman named sally (nicolette sheridan) who wants to hire a ninja to spy on her businessman boyfriend, whom she suspects is involved in shady deals. haru, taken in by her beauty, tells her he is a full ninja (he hasn' t actually graduated yet) and goes on the mission. it turns out that her lover is indeed a criminal, involved with the yakuza in an international counterfeiting scheme - and a cold - blooded killer to boot. obsessed with protecting sally, he decides to go to beverly hills to find her. unknown to him, gobei is following him, and keeping him out of danger without his noticing .
for most of the film haru is hopelessly inept at being a ninja. but during the final battle he suddenly becomes a badass, surprising the hell out of gobei .
haru is a white man raised by a ninja clan in japan, after he was found as a baby on a shipwreck. they believed he might be the
white ninja
prophesied by their legends, a foreigner who would grow up to become their greatest member. however, haru grows up to become both clumsy and clueless. although disappointed in him, his clan still loves him like one of their own. in turn haru idolizes gobei, his

there' s more legal fallout from the doomed korean - produced sequel to beverly hills ninja, which was set to star david hasselhoff instead of the original 1997 comedy' s lead actor, chris farley. last year, mitchell klebanoff, who co - wrote the original and was tapped to direct the follow - up, won a lawsuit against korean investors who bought rights to the franchise from sony. an arbitrator in the dispute determined that the investors hadn' t properly terminated him as a director and awarded him nearly $ 262, 000. now comes a new lawsuit from jay so, who says he was contracted by klebanoff and read more

for the first few minutes of beverly hills ninja, it looks as if chris farley may have finally found a movie to match the size of his talents. as an orphan raised in japan by martial - arts masters, farley displays a hippo - ballet grace while bonking himself on the head with various instruments of death. this chop - shtick generates a few belly - laugh - inducing quips (”sensei is going to kill me! ” farley panics after smashing a shelfful of ancient artifacts). but as soon as the action switches to l. a. , a yawner plot about farley busting up a yen - counterfeiting ring kicks in — and slowly starts to squeeze the life out of the movie .
james berardinelli panned the film, stating that
beverly hills ninja is essentially a one - joke film. that joke has to do with chris farley [... ], who plays one of the clumsiest men on earth, crashing into objects or having things fall on his head
and concluded that it
isn' t just juvenile, it' s lackluster and unfunny .
bruce fretts of entertainment weekly also criticized the film, complaining it had
... a yawner plot about farley busting up a yen - counterfeiting ring
and that
... when the writers run out of ideas, they simply have farley walk into a lamppost, or cop from old snl skits .
the premise is as obvious as a 250 - pound guy in a ninja outfit. that' s the movie' s one joke - - contrasting the precision of the ninja with the out - of - control physicality of comedian chris farley - - and it doesn' t sound like much. but that incongruity is enough for three big laughs before the opening credits are even finished, and the jokes keep coming .
farley stars as haru, an orphaned american who washes to shore in japan and is mistaken for the great white ninja of legend. raised among the finest ninjas, haru grows into a big, strong, slapstick disaster! an embarrassment to his clan, haru has no hope of ever becoming a full ninja. but when a beautiful blonde pleads for help, haru is given one dangerously funny chance to prove himself .
today marks the 20th anniversary of chris farley' s death. david spade, who starred alongside farley in the film tommy boy, commemorated the comedian' s death on twitter .
20 years ago today ,
he tweeted along with a picture of farley and the years of his life (1964 to 1997). a comedy legend, farley later played mike donnelly in black sheep and haru in beverly hills ninja. however, some of his most celebrated characters were those he played during his tenure at saturday night live. here' s a look back at some of this best moments on the show: 1. when he played the eccentric motivational speaker matt foley in this 1993 sketch, farley plays a boisterous ...
now comes a new lawsuit from jay so, who says he was contracted by klebanoff and the koreans to act as a producer on the film but was stiffed on his own compensation during the development of ninja 2 .
this is my son' s favorite movie. of course he is 10. my husband and i watch it and find it entertaining as well. it is silly and the physical comedy can be over the top, but that is classic farley. we also like tommy boy, another farley classic, and dirty works also with farley, all though that flick is definitely not appropriate for children. beverly hills ninja, however is appropriate for most children 10 and over. pretty mild by today' s standards. one of my favorite performances in this movie is the work of supporting actor robin shou. he is a great straight man and shows great martial arts skills as well as comedic timing. chris rock also has a small roll in this film .
following a ship wreck, a baby is rescued by a clan of ninja warriors and raised by them as one of their own. but haru, as he is called, never quite fits in, nor does he manage to make a worthy ninja. however, the good - natured and persevering haru, in his own bumbling way, and with some help from gobei, manages to prove himself to be a winner in the end .
the hollywood reporter today has one of those stories that sheds light on the scummy underbelly of hollywood, where shady producers and once wide - eyed rubes sue each other over bounced checks and broken promises, all because they couldn’t agree on who should control a project. and the real loser in all this? you and i, the viewers, who’ll probably never get to see beverly hills ninja 2 now, starring david hasselhoff. no, really, that was the jumping off point. multiple people thought it would be a good idea to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars making a sequel to the worst movie from chris farley, a guy with the charisma to carry an entire film by himself, starring david hasselhoff, a guy who couldn’t even hold a hamburger .

since the late 1940s, filmmakers have been transforming the magnificent greystone mansion into cinematic settings such as hospitals, funeral homes, government offices, hotel rooms, military schools and more, not to mention palatial estates. filming at greystone really took off in the mid - 1960s after the city of beverly hills purchased the property, but then dwindled in the' 70s when the mansion became home to the american film institute. since the early' 80s, though, when afi' s lease expired, greystone has been home to an average of two films per year. from
this martial arts comedy from the producers of no - brainer classic dumb and dumber was a box - office number one in the states and features one of the last performances of chubby comic chris farley. he plays an american baby who washes up on the shores of japan and is brought up by a clan of martial arts masters. now haru (farley), a willing but clumsy pupil, must journey with a skilled sidekick (robin shou) to the

i grew up watching chris farley on saturday night live and in his various big screen roles. i liked everything he did even if the material wasn’t all there (beverly hills ninja). he was an explosive force of comedy and now nearly 20 years after his death, it still stings to think about. a new documentary doesn’t look to make things easier with a look at farley’s life, character, and career through the recollections of those who knew him best. mike myers, adam sandler, bob odenkirk, bob saget, christina applegate and more join david spade, farley’s brother kevin farley, and lorne michaels to remember the late comedian. from the press release for network entertainment ’s documentary: before his untimely death at only 33 years of age, farley left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry through his groundbreaking work on television in both second city and saturday night live ,
“he was infectious. and he was kind. and he was a puppy dog. ” that was what christina applegate had to say about the late comedian chris farley as part of a trailer for the documentary that will take a look at the life of the star of saturday night live, tommy boy, and beverly hills ninja. the documentary is directed by brent hodge and derik murray and features conversations about farley with david spade (his co - star in many films), adam sandler, bob saget, lorne michaels, mike myers, molly shannon, and dan aykroyd among others. it is set to profile the comedian, who died in 1997 of a drug overdose, and speak with some of the people who spent the most time with him. the film is set to open in theaters on july 31 and will be available on vod and digital download on august 11. chris farley lived his life full speed
my 10 / 10 rating assumes that you' re the type who just watches these sorts of movies to get entertained, and you sure will with
beverly hills ninja
. chris farley makes the most of his
big, fat idiot
persona as a white man raised among ninjas, now trying to investigate a counterfeiter. of course, the plot is an excuse to have farley trash everything surrounding him... and you' d better believe that he does! it' s nice, silly fun to the max! all in all, if this movie is stupid, then it doesn' t pretend to be anything else. it' s just a shame that chris farley is no longer with us. but up in the van down by that great river in the sky, he can take comfort knowing that we remember him. also starring nicolette sheridan (of
