 Beverly Hills Ninja - Main
Beverly Hills Ninja follows the exploits of the well-meaning but hopelessly inept Haru (Chris Farley) who, believing himself to be the Great White Ninja, ventures to the Hills of Beverly to save a mysterious beauty (Nicollette Sheridan) in an outrageous clash of culture and body parts.
BEVERLY HILLS NINJA, however, is simply a stupefyingly dull collection of Farley pratfalls set to the most obvious songs possible ("Turning Japanese," "Kung Fu Fighting," etc) and directed by Dugan with a cutaway to a perplexed reaction shot every twelve seconds or so.
His ninja brother Gobei (Robin Shou), however, is a dazzling martial arts artist and proves to be the most accomplished ninja of the dojo.

Undaunted, Haru struggles on with his ninja training, and when Alison (Nicolette Sheridan), a beautiful woman from America, requests a ninja fighter to return with her to the States and protect her from her criminal-minded boyfriend and his Yakuza associates, Haru eagerly accepts the assignment.
Haru''s minders see trouble brewing, so they secretly send along a fellow ninja, Gobei (Robin Shou), to watch his back, although this hardly prevents Haru from posing a deadly menace to inanimate objects everywhere.
Jackie Chan was at one time announced to co-star in this film, which would prove to be the last Chris Farley vehicle released before his death in late 1997, though two other films he completed before his passing were released in 1998.

He's convinced he must continue the mission and follow the couple to the distant hills of Beverly, and is reluctantly allowed to go, with the parting wisdom to "believe in yourself." And as an added insurance policy, Gobei is secretly dispatched to be his shadow.
A set piece in which Haru is disguised as a Japanese chef is a comic highlight, and Farley's game attitude toward the physical aspects of the role (he's credited with doing 80% of his stunts) is pleasantly ingratiating.
"Beverly Hills Ninja" is by no means a fl belt in comedy or action choreography.

 Beverly Hills Ninja review (1997) - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
Prophecy has foretold that a Great White Ninja would come and be their savior, but growing, Haru has shown very little of the skills necessary that would show he is worthy of the honor.
When the woman disappears, Haru uses clues to trace her back to Beverly Hills, and with his brother Gobei (Robin Shou, Mortal Kombat) at his side, rescue her from any mishaps that may have befallen her.
Beverly Hills Ninja is one of the most juvenile PG-13 films you’re ever likely to see, with only one joke going for it to see how many pratfalls the portly actor can endure without killing himself or others.

 Beverly Hills Ninja | Movie Review | Entertainment Weekly
For the first few minutes of BEVERLY HILLS NINJA (TriStar, PG-13), 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.
Ninja casts about for whale-out-of-water humor as Farley's long-sheltered Haru grapples with such newfangled inventions as metal detectors and seat belts.

His adopted father, the venerable Ninja master, Sensei (Soon Tek-Oh), sends Gobei to the States as Haru's "shadow."
