Review
Good but silly, the movie 'BEVERLY HILLS NINJA' has tons of action as well as comedic laughs that is provided by the late Chris Farley who plays the main character of a klutz who needs to be more careful at stuff. I'm surprised that this was one of the earliest roles by Chris Rock and I might find that some of the music sounded like the film adaptation of 'Mortal Kombat'. What a tragedy, this was Farley's last film that he made while he was still alive and it's a shame that the late comedian Chris had hated this movie because he wasn't pleased about the finished product.

I think 'BEVERLY HILLS NINJA' had hilarity on its side, yet it's a still basic original film that needs to be watched.

Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
