Where can I watch Beverly Hills Ninja?

In the zany action-comedy Beverly Hills Ninja, released in 1997, we follow the hilariously clumsy Haru, an American orphan who washes ashore in Japan and is mistakenly heralded as the legendary White Ninja. Raised by a clan of highly skilled ninjas, Haru grows into an impressively large but comically inept warrior, embodying the physicality of the Three Stooges with none of their finesse. His journey is an uproarious blend of slapstick humor and martial arts mishaps, as he desperately tries to earn the respect of his peers while navigating the cultural divide and his own bumbling nature.

The film takes a turn when Haru meets a striking blonde named Christine, who unwittingly becomes the catalyst for his transformation. Her plea for help thrusts Haru into a world of danger that challenges his skills and self-worth. What ensues is a series of laugh-out-loud misadventures as Haru attempts to rescue Christine and thwart the nefarious plans of a villainous crime lord. Through its mix of physical comedy and heartfelt moments, Beverly Hills Ninja explores themes of identity, belonging, and the importance of embracing one’s unique qualities, making it an endearing watch for anyone who enjoys a good laugh paired with light-hearted action.
