Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Beverly Hills Ninja is a 1997 comedy film starring Chris Farley and Chris Rock. It is a parody of the American Ninja film series and the Beverly Hills Cop franchise.Haru is a white man raised by a Ninja clan in Japan, after he was found as a baby on a shipwreck. They believed he might be the "White Ninja" prophesied by their legends, a foreigner who would grow up to become their greatest member. However, Haru grows up to become both clumsy and clueless. Although disappointed in him, his clan still loves him like one of their own. In turn Haru idolizes Gobei (Robin Shou), his "older brother" and the best Ninja of the clan.One night, while the rest of the Clan is away, their Dojo is visited by a beautiful woman named Sally (Nicolette Sheridan) who wants to hire a Ninja to spy on her businessman boyfriend, whom she suspects is involved in shady deals. Haru, taken in by her beauty, tells her he is a full Ninja (he hasn't actually graduated yet) and goes on the mission. It turns out that her lover is indeed a criminal, involved with the Yakuza in an international counterfeiting scheme- and a cold-blooded killer to boot. Obsessed with protecting Sally, he decides to go to Beverly Hills to find her. Unknown to him, Gobei is following him, and keeping him out of danger without his noticing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In Beverly Hills, Haru meets Joey Washington (Rock) a hotel employee who, realizing that Haru is a ninja, begs him to be trained as one and helps him get around. Eventually Haru meets Sally again and, after several madcap events, finally confronts the criminals. When he finds out Gobei is in danger, he spontaneously develops full Ninja powers and rescues him and defeats the bad guys. In the end, Haru, now declared a full Ninja by his clan, decides to stay in Beverly Hills (with Sally) though he proves to still be an accidental threat to people around him.This was Farley's last film to be released during his lifetime. His last starring role, Almost Heroes, was released posthumously a year later. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Beverly Hills Ninja / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Haru's ninja clan. The sensei is shocked when he hears reports of a ninja committing a murder. Odd for a group that developed as spies and assassins for hire. Their training techniques, temple layout, orange clothing, and aversion to murder seems to show they were not based off ninja, but instead Shaolin monks. Perhaps all ninjas had stop committing murders and have taken the peaceful way, and sensei was shocked to hear a ninja reverting to their old ways. | |

Achievements in Ignorance: Haru has achieved at doing acts of competence when he tries to do what he can for mainly saving someone and helping everyone out in some instances (e.g when Sally was locked with a bomb in the room, some of his ideas didn't work out at first. At the very end where he manages to shoot a giant, metallic arrow through the wall and into a window, breaking through the wall Haru was trying to get into when it successfully led the bomb onto the villain's vehicle and manages to save Sally without knowing what would actually happen afterward). | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass | |
| Beverly Hills Ninja / int_a9de87d2 | comment |
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Haru in the climactic fight. It's actually hinted at during the entire movie. During the training montage at the beginning, when Haru gets caught on the flypaper on the floor, notices he had already crossed two before getting stuck. He also shows at least some skill with the whip chain, an incredibly difficult-to-use weapon. His bird hat disguise also seems to genuinely impress his sensei. | |

Talk to the Fist | |
| Beverly Hills Ninja / int_b2407a69 | comment |
Talk to the Fist: When Haru unintentionally scares a boy on the plane that he is travelling on to Beverly Hills, the boy goes to blab to his father, which causes him to angrily confront him. Haru starts to defend himself by preaching talk of samurai code, but the man just interrupts him by punching him in the face. | |

Blindfolded Trip | |
| Beverly Hills Ninja / int_cccfa535 | comment |
Blindfolded Trip: Parodied. Haru is blindfolded when he is first taken to the Tanley's warehouse. Later, he blindfolds himself and tries to use his "ninja skills" to remember the route. He is completely clueless, of course. Luckily, Gobei knows the route well and takes the wheel without Haru knowing. | |

Comically Missing the Point: When Haru tells Sensei about Sally Jones, Sensei revealed that there's no one in the hotel she's supposedly staying in by that name. There's an Allison Page who fits "Sally"'s description. Haru suspects "Sally" gave the hotel a false name to hide her identity, while Sensei believes the woman most likely gave Haru a false name. But Haru's 'ninja intuition' tells him she wasn't lying. | |
