In truly one of the more bizarre stories I've reported on in the last few years, it seems that a sequel to the 1997 Chris Farley film BEVERLY HILLS NINJA has been given the greenlight and will star David Hasselhoff? Yup, BEVERLY HILLS NINJA 2 will begin filming on October 6th with Hasselhoff, Lucas Grabeel (HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL) and Lin Chiling set to star. The film will follow an orphaned boy who wants to be a ninja but gets mixed up with a crime syndicate while searching for his parents. Hasselhoff's character is named (wait for it....) Ansel LaDouche and is described as being an evil action movie superstar. The movie has little or nothing to do with the Farley original other than it has a vaguely similar plot and writer of the original Mitch Klebanoff will return to direct. Why they're bothering to remake a movie that wasn't very good to begin with (even star Chris Rock called it the "worst piece of shit") is beyond me. We'll have a chance to ask those questions and more when the start of production press conference takes place on October 4th in South Korea where the film will be shot. Seriously.

hasshole the actor? that drunk moron? this will only cement the fact his acting career is over, period. cameos as himself eating burgers in movie spoof films is all he should do now.

I could sit through this only if I smoked so much pot that I couldn't physically get off the couch and didn't fall asleep for some reason.

This is...Goddamn, what the fuck did I just read? This shit is seriously more farfetched than that April Fool's Day when JoBlo announced that David Fincher was gonna direct Ei8ht.

fuck movie companies and their need to cash on past titles instead of making new stand alone films, not to mention this sounds like utter shite.

if they can make a sequel to a 11 year old movie whose main actor died, they can make a sequel to anything. BRING ON The Adventures of Pluto Nash 2!!!

Poor Lin Chiling
She went from becoming Taiwan's equivalent of Jessica Alba (and starring in John Woo's war epic "Red Cliff) to a [link] piece of feces starring the Hasshole, who continues to baffle me to this day.

Talk about the pinnacle of bad movie night right here. Back to back: Uwe Boll's Postal followed by the 'hoff in Beverly Hills Ninja 2. I would have to be SOOO plastered to actually sit through that. And then I could have an excuse for throwing up all over the place... "it wasn't the alcohol, it was the movies."

You're kidding... right?
This sounds more like a straight to DVD flick which I wouldn't bother looking for.

Was I the only one secretly hoping for an AMERICAN NINJA update with the Hoff and Michael Dudikoff?

Hasselhoff and Dudikoff. I can see the poster already.

1980's child
As a definite 80's child, Hasselhoff + ninjas = I'M THERE!!! everything else associated with this movie may as well not exist. And as for "Ansel LaDouche"? LaTouche!!
