"What's your biggest fear about today?" "Fear? I don't have fears." "Okay, well what's your biggest hope?" "Uh, I'm not that ambitious, either." I want a movie about THAT guy
Jay: "Insulting the person right next to you. You'd have some reaction to that, right?" Jay in part 1 when Mike is insulting the person sitting right next to him: "LOL"
I guess it had to come to this - I actually was a P.A. on "Black Ninja" my freshman year of college. Made me laugh beyond all belief that Half in the Bag would review this film, but it deserved it. I was only on the film for a week, but it was both educational and entertaining. Favorite memories were sitting in a kitchen eating chips & salsa while making fake blood with the make-up lady, and the night one of the stunt guys had to be kicked through a window. 10:37 It was my first experience with fake glass. I was on set the night of the fight in the shop @ 04:46 got a parking ticket from the Philadelphia cops that night. I didn't see the movie until I bought a dvd copy at a Sam Goody about a year after it was finished. This episode made me crack up. Well done, fellas (and lady.)
@@zachmealer Why do people always assume that the women that appear in these videos are their ex-girlfriends? Isn't it possible they just have... friends? What if Jay is gay (Jay rhymes with gay)?
@@PeyoteCowboy thank you for giving some kind of context a m seriously thank you. Because I was so confused on were she came from and I think she would be a great addition to the team! She's lots of fun!
@@barvelo26 She moved to LA years ago which is why she's not on the show anymore. I really hope they get her on if she's ever visiting Milwaukee, she was always awesome.
I just realized after all these years, Clayton Prince, the actor in "Black Ninja", also co-starred in the very early-90's TV Show "Dark Justice", which had the tagline "Justice may be blind but it can see in the dark." It had a very similar concept, a Judge turned vigilante. Black Ninja changed it too a lawyer.
Did you guys know? There's a edition of the Black Ninja DVD that has the 'making of' doc as a special feature. If I find it Ill send it Milwaukee's way ;)
How? She sucks. Bizarre how she has a fan base. Her appearances degrade the episodes. The only reason the episode of BotW she was on was halfway decent is because of Rich and his research, not her. She takes herself way too seriously to fit in.
I last watched this episode a year or so ago and had only just got that black ninja theme out of my head. So glad to have that ear worm wiggling about in there all over again.
My theory is that the odd digital zooms from 'shot' to 'slightly closer in the same shot' were to hide a really awful few moments of the boom mike dipping into frame, and they simply had no other coverage to cut to, so they covered as best they could. And Gillian is great; invite her back more often (that one other time she shows up isn't enough!)
Exactly what i said out loud. A rough cut. The dialogue sounds like what they say before they do a dub. They dont care what they sound like, because they assume it would be fixed in post. It was not
I only discovered this channel a few weeks back and its as if my whole life was a lie until these people showed me the truth. BUt I thought I had watched all the uploads, where was this one hiding?
So the plot twist here is really a spoof on Fight club: The Ikea sign is just a sign of how everything sucks and eventually Mike finds out he's merely a figment of Gillian's imagination and Jay is the bad conscience. And Gillian of course is really just hitting her self.
This review was fucking hilarious... but the one thing that kills me every time is the clip of Black Ninja on the phone yelling "No!" with that stupid voice (min 4:56) That shit gets me EVERY TIME
to be fair to the Chinese guy in the martial arts uniform in the courtroom is another normal Philly thing. for some reason in this city, people go to court dressed in sweatsuits and pajama pants and crocks... I had to go to court one time and I wore a suit and a tie because I though 'well I'll look good if anything. Then there's a guy on trial for murder wearing a wife-beater tanktop, a pair of Pajama pants and crocks with half of his hair braided. N this is real. I bet the Extras are great because they are ppl trying to go about their day that said, yea ok I'll be in your movie n than the director said "Black Ninja take 1" and that's where you get the lady rolling her eyes (which is a sincere thing ppl do here, if someone's acting like an asshole on the bus or the subway, you don't say anything, you roll your eyes) or the guy telling him to get the fuck off the stage. these are things that will happen in Philladephia. we aren't nice ppl. Mike reminds me of a Guy from Philly. were all cynical assholes because the Biggest Building in Philladephia is the Comcast building, which even cheated to be the tallest building (it's like they put a big glass top hat on and said I'm taller than everyone now!)
Wow really makes you appreciate those B films they watch that are competently shot is the only good thing Mike and Jay can say. So now we have a film that was incompetently shot. Fun.
+rustybender I wish he'd have introduced himself by saying directly to the camera: "Hey this is the Black Ninja, make sure you check out my cutlery review channel, KatanasULove."
