"He puts the Mortal back in Kombat."
For hundreds of years there has been a clan in Japan dedicated to the secret arts of self-defense and survival. Their fighting skills are so deadly that the clan has always remained invincible. They are known as 'ninjas'. Twenty-five years ago, an ancient legend was turned into reality. The legend spoke of a foreign child who would master the ninja arts like no other. When only a small baby is found alive after a shipwreck, the ninjas think the boy is destined to continue their tradition.

Nice comedy full of hilarious (very lame) humor. Type of humor that a lot of people don't like, but I had a great time with it. Still, despite all the badness, nice to have seen once.

I think parodies are among the most difficult film genres there is, because everything has to be right. You must have a believable comedian in the lead role, you must have a logical story with hilarious plot twists, you must have an enviable beautiful woman join in, you must have a real Ninja, you must have sufficient Ninja knowledge, you must have a have a good sense of humor and last but not least: your timing has to be perfect! In my opinion Beverly Hills Ninja has it all, but from the sour reactions for this I conclude that such a film is only appreciated by Ninja fans with a sense of humor. The jokes are incredibly fast and surprising and some I only saw after a second look! I love these kind of movies and can recommend it to everyone, but you have to have a little sense of humor

A parody or slapstick that relies mainly on its physical humor rather than its ingenuity. Cool humor with lots of scratches and bumps. In this way also predictable and actually more tailored for children than for adults.
The plot is obviously unbelievably pulled by the hair. Farley doesn't do too bad as a roguish fat guy, but it's just too thick. All a bit too predictable. Very absurd, but this is the genre of slapstick.
I was rather annoyed by the screaming role of Chris Rock. Those sky views were really not good either. Gosh, not all that bad, good as amuse gueule.
