"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Beverly Hills Ninja | 1997 | PG-13 | - 2.4.3
Chris Farley is a klutzy, inept ninja wannabe in this action comedy.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sexual innuendo, Farley's naked buttocks, suggestive dancing and scantily clad dancers in a strip club.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A few people are shot dead but all we see are their corpses afterward (no blood). Mainly played for laughs: Explosions, fires, reckless driving, falls, chases, threatening with guns, gunfire with automatic weapons and a few gunshots. Lots of pratfalls, falls through glass, hitting (many times with objects), kicks and punches and lots of martial arts fighting. A few people are killed with knives (thrown) and a few people are burned by falling onto hot grills.
LANGUAGE 3 - A few scatological references, anatomical references and mild obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Ninjas, martial arts, counterfeiting.
MESSAGE - To be great at anything you have to have a good heart.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
