After this movie was completed, Farley publicly stated that he hated it... and for good reason.
The plot was way over the top from the first frame. A fat white bumbling ninja would have been booted from the dojo on his first day... and likely killed.
The film took full advantage of Farley's physical comedy prowess, but it took it way too far. Virtually every scene made Farley's character into a bumbling fool, while the other characters seem to just shrug his behavior off as normal.
While Nicky Sheridan made great eye candy, and Soon Tek O is a great actor in his own right, they could not save this film from drowning in its own inanity.
If you want to see a good Chris Farley film, stick with Tommy Boy.
