I genuinely never wanna see anything again after this i need bleach for my eyeballs
No political correctness. They just let loose. I laughed non stop. I wish people could still make movies like this, but of course you would get liberals clutching their pearls and crying.
There really isnt that much more to say about it, but if you want to be entertained, give it a try. The fact that it just uses a bunch of asian tropes in a haphazard way is just great, and the actors have a surprising amount of charisma.
Everyone is just so scared to offend today that everything they make is garbage. This was before all that.
Boy, people who grew up before the 2010s were so lucky. Everything just went downhill after 2015 or so.

Well, at least this 2010 movie "Dancing Ninja" from writer Mitchell Klebanoff was as bad as I had expected it to be. But still, it had David Hasselhoff in it, so I figured I would give it a go.
This movie's storyline felt like it was written by a 10 year old and aimed at an audience of 10 year olds. It was pretty laughable and simplistic, to be brutally honest. So it was a bit difficult to take the movie serious.
And it was a bit hard to fully grasp what went through the minds of directors Mitchell Klebanoff and Kelly Sandefur as they sat down to work collectively on "Dancing Ninja".
Sure, the acting in the movie was adequate, just a shame that the actors and actresses had so very little to work with in terms of a properly entertaining script and storyline.
Ultimately then "Dancing Ninja" is not a movie that you are missing out on if you opt to skip it. And as for it being a ninja movie, nope. Don't even bother with it, as there are no ninjas here. Just a bunch of young people doing karate, and then David Hasselhoff doing something pseudo-karate-like.
My rating of "Dancing Ninja" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Although Dancing Ninja has some amusing moments ultimately it fails to make the grade. I don't think young Lucas Grabeel has a future in martial arts films.
Grabeel is a young man who was washed up from a shipwreck as a toddler and was raised by Asian parents in some unnamed Asian land. Trying to find out his origins he travels to America where people who look like him predominate as he is sure his destiny is there.
Part of his destiny is that he is convinced he is the prophesied Dancing Ninja who was said to be from a foreign land and Occidental.
What laughs there are in this film come from David Hasselhoff who's having a great old time spoofing Steven Segall. Wonder if Hasselhoff will run for governor of some state. Not like some action star hasn't run for governor before.

The acting is terrible (aside from Steven Seagal's hair, which subs in for The Hoff's hair, which is probably hanging out with KITT), the dialogue is terrible, the action is terrible. However, throw it all together with whatever secret ingredient there is in this movie, and you have the perfect terrible cheesefest movie to laugh along with, and at.
You DEFINITELY need to go into this with a sense of humour, but it can be enjoyed, it's just so much fun!
