Come along as we take a closer look at the weird mess of a film that is....Dancing Ninja.

    You know, watching this video in 2022, after the Atlanta Spa shootings, I feel like this movie encapsulates/is rife with the unessacary sexualization of asian women+ the exploitation of asian women (his adoptive mother and his adoptive father making videos of her aren't played off as them even just having fun, but they're depicted as directly making and marketing softcore p0rn. And while there's nothing wrong with that in real life, the way its depicted in this movie is really, extremely problematic for a lot of its insinuations). Especially with the way that the white male protag "unlocks" his powers by groping/ogling asian women's bodies. It gets even worse with the two asian women actively FIGHTING for him. Not for anything actually related to the plot, they're just fighting each other because they thirst for him, for some fucking reason. Its toxic and represents everything wrong about the way that media has depicted asian women, the way their bodies are objectified and utilized as a means to an end for the benefit of men, and the cringe fantasies of asian women viewing each other as competition over a random ass boy.

    • @maribethmorgan7886
      @maribethmorgan7886 Před rokem +53

      :/ This was a very insightful and heartbreaking comment. Movies depict actions that literally fall under assault and sexual coercion towards women all the time, and they paint it as light hearted fun. It’s very troubling to me that I have had to define what r*pe, SA, and sexual pressure is to some men who are genuinely good intentioned people but society normalized actions that are disgusting and evil. This movie is repulsive for not only that reason, but because it’s geared towards young men. It takes that perspective towards women and turns the lens on Asian women in a way that is uniquely dangerous. The constant sexualization, infantilization, submissiveness, and normalized and ENCOURAGED sexual assault is reflected in the way tv, movies, media, anime, and (mostly) white men treat Asian women. I really hope that one day there is a push to hold these types of depictions accountable for the assaults, attacks, and prejudice towards Asian women. This movie as a whole, and any movie that usually depicts a white hero in an Asian country usually is centered around just dog shitting on Asian culture…and I can’t even imagine being Asian and seeing that terrible depiction everywhere. I remember the terrible ways kids would tease Asian students, and I know most of it comes from these types of movies. Thank you for your comment, as much as I love kurtis, sometimes I wish he would give deeper takes when there’s so much disgusting shit involved in a movie or whatever it is he’s talking about.

    Omg, I saw this movie playing in the children's section of a massive ferry while I was on a school trip. It was the most hilarious journey I've experienced.
    Whoever was in charge of the movies must have had a DVD player and a stack of DVDs in the control room, but they didn't have a remote control. So they'd put in a typical children's movie, like Ice Age, and fiddle around with the buttons on the machine, going up, down, left right for about 10 minutes without finding the play button, then they'd give up and move on to the next DVD. Dancing Ninja was the only one that finally worked, and by that time we were already almost dead from laughter from just watching the helpless struggle with the DVD machine. Then witnessing this weird-ass film that is most definitely NOT a children's film being broadcast on a public ferry was tbh the highlight of the school trip, and remains an iconic moment of my school history.

    I worked in the camera department, and it made as little sense during production as it did after editing. Mitchell, the writer/director told me that it had been green lit as a sequel to his earlier film 'Beverley Hils Ninja', but that the rights had been withdrawnshortly after shooting started. While directing it, he had to rewrite it on the fly to take out anything that could be tied to the earlier film, and reshooting everything that did. It became less and less coherent as the shoot went on, and he was falling behind schedule and budget wasn't going to cover it. About midway, we went on set one morning and they told us that Mitchell had been pulled and Kelly Sandefur was brought in to finish shooting whatever was needed to cobbled together into a film. It did not cobble well.

    kurtis PLEASE review the adventures of food boy, it also stars high school musical ryan and it is by far the worst movie ever made, it includes iconic scenes like the one where he cry’s alone in a bathroom after he shoots bread out of his hands. truly a cinematic masterpiece

      Hey tim, for launch party, the blue, green, and white rockets all go on a count of 1,2,3. Red still goes on a 1,2,3,4. In screwbot factory, if you don’t already have a perfect, for the grey bots, the pattern is 1(grab),2(hold),3(release),4(Wait) the white ones are 1(grab),2(release),3(Wait),4(Wait)

    I cannot describe the amount of orientalism, racism, inaccuracies, and general cultural appropriation in this movie. I am flabbergasted. Where do I even start? The conflation between martial artist and ninja? The use of throwing stars? “SOMEWHERE IN ASIA”??

    its funny because the villain background story of doctor strange is just dancing ninja with a bigger budget,better lines,less horniness and more magic
