Movie Reviews of Tongan Ninja
Movie Review: The Tongan Ninja Rocks!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is hilarious if you like silly comedy, which I do. I also think Jemaine Clement is one of the funniest people around. I recommend this movie, watch it!!!!!Movie Review: So stupid it's brilliant!
Summary: 4 Stars
I started watching this thinking it was just going to be another one of those stupid ninja movies I get bored with after 10 mins and switch off... however, I soon found it was a comedy, and one that was actualy making me laugh and keeping my interest all the way to the end in whats been the most suprising comedy I've seen for a while.
Togan Ninja kicks off in a small charter plane where a guy is taking his son and another kid for a fly around the place, the kid in the back is a bad egg and decides to cut up some wires in the plane which causes them to crash land on an island somewhere in the south pacific. The father is then eaten by piranas and dies and the two kids end up being taken in by a group who then teach them the art of ninja... then 20 years later or so Togan is asked to go to New Zealand to help someone who is having a problem with a ninja syndicate that want to take over her grandfather resteraunt.
This New Zealand comedy is great, its funny in the slapstick kind of way, it's zanel and corney but enjoyable. There is some classic comedy lines, memorable scenes and laughs and is a-ok for the entire family to enjoy. It's a shame it's not a well-known title, it's sure to have been a hit in the comedy rentals if it had've been promoted (better?)
Hearing New Zealand and Australian voices for ninjas is a crack up... in a ninja fight where 100 bad-guy ninjas are circling the good guy and being beaton off one by one, you have to crack up laughing hearing a ninja with an aussie accent say, "step aside ladies, let me have a crack at it"... if that sounds humours to you, you may well just like this comedy!
Movie Review: "You fight like a baby. A DEAD baby."
Summary: 4 Stars
OK, I am admittedly an unabashed Jemaine Clement fan and think that Flight of the Conchords is one of the best comedy shows on TV right now. But in all honesty, I really didn't have high expectations for this film at the beginning. I thought it was likely to be a low-budget, testosterone-drenched, comedic tribute/spoof of Kung Fu movies. And...well...yes, that's exactly what it turned out to be. But to my surprise, it also turned out to be an amazingly entertaining film and one that had me in stitches at several points. And it's OK if you're like me and aren't really that familiar with all the ninja stuff that's being alluded to throughout the plot. All you need to appreciate this film is a sense of humor and an appreciation of the absurd.Movie Review: Funny, but don't expect much
Summary: 4 Stars
Since they tell you themselves that they made this movie on their spare time on the weekend and the whole movie being dubbed, I didn't expect much. I was happily surprised and disappointed, but laughing the whole way through. Many of you may know Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords, he is Action Fighter, Tongan Ninja's bitter rival. In that fashion there is several songs in this movie written by Jemaine and fellow band member Bret Mckenzie that don't disappoint. Don't expect much in the fighting sequences either, this isn't Hollywood. But there is a few surprises like a quite entertaining car chase scene. Overall, a funny movie, and being a fan of Flight of the Conchords makes it that much better.Movie Review: Kicks Kung Pows Arse
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this film in Hawaii at a film festival a few years ago and have been waiting for it to be released on DVD. Tongan Ninja is totally hilarious. Kung Pow was released around the same time and got a lot more attention which is a shame, cas Tongan is way funnier! I dug the musical numbers and sight gags. Totally recommend it if you want a good laugh.
