Beverly Hills NinjaIf reports are to be believed Beverly Hills Ninja may get a sequel. Reports say that this utterly forgettable 1997 action comedy, is getting a sequel that will get underway in South Korea starting next month. The writer of the original film – Mitch Klebanoff – has scripted the sequel and will direct it. As expected, the film will tell the story of an orphaned boy who wants to be a ninja but becomes involved in a crime in Hollywood while looking for his real parents. It is not known if he will be as much of a fat doofus as the one presented in the original.
David Hasselhoff, Lucas Grabeel and Lin Chiling are set to star in the sequel that is expected to open in May 2009. Beverly Hills Ninja is a 1997 action comedy film starring Chris Farley as a bumbling ninja in Beverly Hills. Written by Mark Feldberg and Mitchell Klebanoff and directed by Dennis Dugan. Also starring Nicollette Sheridan, Nathaniel Parker, Robin Shou, Soon-Tek Oh, and Chris Rock.
Chris Farley plays Haru, who was found by ninja as an infant and was raised by them. Haru never quite conforms to their culture and never acquires the skills of a ninja but is nonetheless good-natured and persevering in his personal ambitions. His first mission brings him to Beverly Hills to investigate a murder mystery. A clan of ninja find a chest that has been washed onto shore, inside of which is a white baby boy. An ancient legend spoke of a foreigner who would come among the ninja and become a master like no other.
