Beverly Hills Ninja [WS]

Dennis Dugan directs the hefty Chris Farley in the comedy Beverly Hills Ninja, which comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable in every way to the standard full-frame image. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Surround, while Spanish and Portuguese soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include talent files, production notes, and the theatrical trailer. This is a fine disc for genre enthusiasts and fans of the late Farley.
