Haru, an orphaned American who washes ashore in Japan and is mistaken for the great White Ninja of legend. Raised among the finest Ninjas, Haru grows strong and big - very big. With the grace of all Three Stooges rolled into one body, Haru is an embarrassment to his clan. But when a beautiful blonde pleads for his help, Haru is given one dangerous, disastrously funny chance to prove himself.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Farley might want to be like John Candy, but, while Candy knew how to make an audience laugh, Farley keeps missing the mark.

rotten:
The humor the premise throws off is supposed to be funny. It just isn't.

fresh:
A silly movie, with silly jokes and a silly story. But the talents at work in it are not silly.

fresh:
A satisfying and sturdy vehicle for Farley that ought to please his fans, youngsters especially.

rotten:
Farley, a real lightweight compared to such late, great predecessors John Belushi and John Candy, brings none of Belushi's edgy intelligence, nor Candy's gentle pathos to this comic caricature.
