Movie Reviews of Tongan Ninja

Movie Review: Made on a shoestring budget? You don't say!
Summary: 5 Stars

This NZ action-packed comedy gem is a keeper for sure. What's even sweeter is that I seized it at a bargain basement price. I loved this film not only for all its awkardness and subtle jokes, but also for some really hilarious dancing & musical bits. Still, the most memorable parts for me might be the great bonus features - theatrical trailers, commentaries with Jemaine, the director, Jason Stutter, and other key actors/voices in the film and the official "Making of.." with kiwi film luminaries. Would've loved to see more of the actor who played Tongan Ninja but can't have it all, I guess. See Hollywood, you don't need a billion dollars to make a truly great & original film if you load it with good writing and talented artists.

Movie Review: A New Cult Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

I was blown away by this low-budget, high quality film. While the cast and crew eschew a self-deprecating humor in reference to their own work (don't forget to see the "interviews" after the movie), the viewer's experience is one of appreciation and awe.
The movie does to the martial arts genre what "Airplane" did to mainstream Hollywood films, only better. The plot is a perfect vehicle for the physical humor, and subtly hilarious script of brilliant writers and cast members.
With satirical nods to the great cinema of the 20th century, Stutter keeps the viewer belly laughing while trying not to miss the next joke.
Also, Sam Manu is my hero.

Movie Review: Off-the-wall Kiwi humor deliciously skewers B-grade Martial Arts movies
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is totally tongue-in-cheek and over the top funny. If you've ever watched a B-grade Martial Arts movie, plus any of a number of blockbusters over the past few decades, you'll get a kick out of it. As a Kiwi living in the US, I appreciated the sly digs at NZ culture on top of all that. Take nothing seriously in this movie and you will be laughing the whole time. The good news is that now this is out on DVD, the rental shops are carrying it. However it is so good, you will want to own it, to share with friends and families. Enjoy!

Movie Review: Tonjan Ninja
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a funny movie that FOTC; Jemaine Clement, stars in. He won't be nominated for a 'supporting actor' award, but he is really good here. Worth the time to watch, he can dance too...
