BEVERLY HILLS NINJA TV

It was hard for me to defy the wisdom of the TV magazine. The critical feedback for BHN was considerably negative. Every film received a short summary and a short review. If you wanted to discover cinema, you had to do it via TV magazines. I wasnвЂ™t much of a reader back then, though I did read TV magazines religiously. As an impressionable child, I had seen the VHS cover - an overweight ninja doing the splits above a rising sun - many times while surveying rental stores. The First OneД«everly Hills Ninja was the first Chris Farley film I ever saw. How I feel like thereвЂ™s an undeniable sadness hidden beneath its silly appearance. How I canвЂ™t listen to вЂњTarzan BoyвЂќ without picturing Chris Farley swinging on a large palm tree. But there are a few things I want to say and share about this maligned Chris Farley vehicle. Perhaps in the future, I will return to this article. IвЂ™m sure that reading that book would give me greater insight into the departed comedian, and would increase the emotional resonance of this solemn retrospective of Beverly Hills Ninja, a film that is now officially 25 years old. On my reading list, I have somewhere - beneath hundreds of other books I promised myself I would read one day - Kevin FarleyвЂ™s supposedly touching memoir about his brother Chris, The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts. Widely available for purchase or rent on video/DVD in the US and UK.IвЂ™m probably writing this article prematurely.

BEVERLY HILLS NINJA PLUS

Not one of Nat's greatest films, but an easy rental for the American audience plus your kids will enjoy it. As a bad guy, Nat is convincingly smooth and repellent. He's clean-shaven in this film, which is one point of interest since he usually sports a beard in his period pieces. However it is an introduction for him into the mass-market US and one of his rare Hollywood roles. His classical training is not put to much use with this character or script. This is Nat's 'Pierce Brosnan imitation,' the good-looking, wealthy British jerk basically. Worthwhile for fans of Chris Farley or Nathaniel Parker. I don't think Farley had the appeal of Mike Myers or Adam Sandler, but he was capable of better films than this one. It's a decent family rental and, while it doesn't keep you rolling in the aisles, it has some genuinely funny moments.

This is pretty bland Hollywood buffoonery, in the tradition of Saturday Night Live and National Lampoon's Vacation (though that's giving it a tad too much credit). He follows Page and Tanley to Beverly Hills where he foils Tanley's plans with his bumbling. Haru becomes involves and learns that the boyfriend -Martin Tanley - is involved in a counterfeiting scheme. A young woman, Allison Page (Sheridan), comes to the dojo asking for help tracking her suspicious boyfriend. He grows up with ninja training but is an incompetent boob. Co-starring Chris Farley, Nicolette Sheridan.Д¬hris Farley plays Haru, an infant white baby washed ashore on an island of Japanese ninjas. Produced by the Motion Picture Corporation of America in 1997, directed by Dennis Dugan (Big Daddy).
