I was watching the Tagalized version of "Rush Hour" on TV5 when I read this week's prompt, and thought "Rush Hour" would be a good choice since it was very funny - siblings and I would always sing "The Closer I Get to You," mimicking Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker's way of singing it, but for this prompt I have a different choice.



Beverly Hills Ninja (1997). Following a ship wreck, a baby is rescued by a clan of Ninja warriors and raised by them as one of their own. But Haru, as he is called, never quite fits in, nor does he manage to make a worthy Ninja. However, the good-natured and persevering Haru, in his own bumbling way, and with some help from Gobei, manages to prove himself to be a winner in the end. (Source: IMDb)

I got to watch this movie through Studio 23. Every Christmas Day and New Year's Day, they would line up movies - kinda like watching HBO on a free channel, and when they showed this, I already thought it would a bit corny, but I watched it from start to finish, and enjoyed it. Chris Farley (may God bless his soul), was very effective in this movie, that even if it's mostly slapstick, I still had a good laugh in this movie. Too bad Chris Farley died so soon.
