Beverly Hills Ninja

Synopsis: Following a ship wreck, a baby is rescued by a clan of Ninja warriors and raised by them as one of their own.

For hundreds of years in Japan,
there has lived a clan...
...who have dedicated themselves to
a secret art of self-defense...
...and survival.
The art is so lethal that
it has made the clan invincible.
To this day, we are known as...
...ninjas.
Twenty-five years ago...
...an ancient legend
of this sacred art came alive.
lt spoke of a foreign child
who would come among us...
...and become a ninja master
like none other.
How he arrived on our shores...
...will forever remain a mystery.
We ninjas thought that this child...
...would be the Great White Ninja
of the legend.
We were wrong.
We were very wrong.
Haru!
Haru.
Gobei.
I need your honest opinion
about something.
Yes, sensei.
What do you think of Haru?
I Iove my brother.
His heart's Iike a fIower.
His determination's Iike a tiger.
He's a fat fooI and an
embarrassment to ninjas everywhere.
Today, I am proud to be your sensei.
This is that speciaI time
when I can say to you:
''You are a ninja.''
You can communicate with
other ninjas...
...by projecting yourseIf
onto the PIane of EnIightenment.
Remember...
...on this pIane...
...which can be shared by
no other mortaI...
...we can aIways contact each other
wherever we may be.
As a ninja...
...you are one with the universe.
AII of you
who are graduating today...
...wiII receive the medaIIion
of the Tengu Warrior.
However, I give the goIden medaIIion
to my finest student.
Gobei.
Forged in the fires
of confidence and discipIine.
Carry it with you aIways.
Sorry, Haru.
CongratuIations, big brother.
Wait! Sensei, wait for me!
Sensei, I am so excited about tonight.
I have been waiting
for such a Iong time!
Tonight's exercise
is for the ninjas onIy.
But your job is an important one.
You are to remain here
to protect the viIIage...
...and guard the dojo.
I shaII do as you say.
I shaII protect the viIIage
and guard the dojo.
And I shaII water the pIants.
Good Iuck. Good Iuck.
Stay Iow so as not to be detected.
Good Iuck, my brother.
Do not try it.
Don't try it.
Are you communicating with me?
Are you communicating with me?
HeIIo?
Excuse me.
Is this the Takagure dojo?
I'm sorry.
This must be the wrong pIace.
No! PIease do not go.
I mean....
Yes, this is the Takagure dojo.
Oh, thank goodness.
Let me take your...
...shoes.
Thank you.
I was toId that
I couId find a ninja here.
ReaIIy?
PIease, sit.
Wait!
Thank you.
That's very impressive.
So are you a ninja?
Yes, I am.
But you're white.
You are observant
as weII as beautifuI.
I'm sorry. I didn't expect
to find a white ninja.
Do not be fooIed
by the coIor of my skin.
Haven't you heard of the white chiId
who'II grow up to become...
...the greatest ninja master of aII?
-Is that you?
-Some say it is so.
You see, it is written
in this hoIy writ.
This hoIds the teachings
of aII ninjutsu...
...that have been passed down
for generations over five centuries.
And in this writ there's a Iegend
about a Great White Ninja?
You see here....
''In the 1 6th century
there came to pass--''
This is the wrong writ.
This is about the sensei
and the twin geishas.
AIso a good Iegend...
...but not the one
we were Iooking for.
Here is my Iegend.
''It is foretoId that
a foreign chiId wiII come...
...and become a ninja master
Iike no other.''
It's burning.
Yes, the words are seared
into my souI.
I mean it's reaIIy on fire!
Yes, I can teII.
They may have a second copy.
PIease teII me...
...why you have come to my dojo.
I warn you that what I'm gonna
ask you to do might be dangerous.
Danger is my companion.
