Trivia
Christian Bale, when asked what his favorite movie was, named this as his favorite comedy. Though he's only ever watched it twice.

Goofs
When Haru is disguised as a chef in the restaurant, he tosses a piece of shrimp up in the air and it lands on the inside of a woman's black shirt. When Haru retrieves the shrimp from her shirt with tongs it is hanging on the outside of her shirt.

Quotes
Haru: I may not be a great ninja; I may not be one with the universe; but I will say this: NO ONE MESSES WITH MY BROTHER.

Alternate versions
Another scene that was deleted from the original release, but appears when shown on TBS shows Sinsei telling Haru that perhaps he should do something else with his life than be a ninja. Haru tells him that if he couldn't be a ninja, he would commit Hari-Kari (Ritual suicide)

Very Funny

The kind of film which throws jokes at you by the second in the hope that some will stick, this film is funny make no mistake. Chris Farley had his 'bumbling fat bloke' routine down to a tee after excursions in Tommy Boy, Black Sheep and Airheads and this is same type of daft humour. Not brilliant by any means but is worth watching for a giggle if you can find the time.
