What happens

Beverly Hills Ninja is a 1997 American martial arts comedy film directed by Dennis Dugan, written by Mark Feldberg and Mitch Klebanoff. The film stars Chris Farley, Nicollette Sheridan, Nathaniel Parker, with Chris Rock, and Robin Shou. The main plot revolves around Haru (Farley), a white orphan boy who was raised by a clan of ninjas as an infant, traveling to Beverly Hills to investigate a murder surrounding a counterfeit operation. Upon release, the film received negative reviews from critics but was a modest commercial success, grossing $37.9 million worldwide on a $18 million budget. It was the last film starring Farley to be released in his lifetime, as he died eleven months after its release later that same year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
