1* CreatorBacklash:
2** Creator/ChrisRock was not happy about the chicken chasing scene, feeling that it bordered on ModernMinstrelsy.
3** Creator/ChrisFarley ''hated'' this movie as it arguably attributed to the exploitation of his manic, physical humor by dumbing it down and playing it out to an almost tiring and foolish degree. In fact, he cried on one of the producers' shoulder at the premiere and was still crying when he left. His resulting depression was rumored to have been what kicked off the fatal drug binge later that year.
4* FakeNationality: Hong Konger Robin Shou and Korean American Soon Tek-Oh as Japanese Gobei and Sensei, respectively.
5* MoneyDearBoy: According to Creator/ChrisFarley's biography, he turned down the film several times until he was offered a salary of $6 Million.
6* NoStuntDouble: Chris Farley did many of his own stunts and martial arts moves himself.
7* RealLifeRelative: Creator/ChrisFarley's brothers, Creator/{{Kevin|Farley}} and John, appeared in this movie as cops, right before Chris disappears behind the cloud of smoke.
8* StillbornFranchise: Co-writer Mitch Klebanoff penned a script for a sequel a decade later. The film, which starred Creator/LucasGrabeel and Creator/DavidHasselhoff, ended up getting filmed, though they decided against connecting it to ''Beverly Hills Ninja'' halfway through and it got renamed as ''Dancing Ninja'', rendering it a DivorcedInstallment.
9* WagTheDirector: Chris Farley only agreed to star in the film if the producers hired his friend Creator/ChrisRock, whose career had been slumping at this point in time, as well.
10* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The lead role was originally written with Creator/DanaCarvey in mind.
