Tongan Ninja is a 2002 full length kung-fu action-comedy directed by Jason Stutter and filmed in New Zealand. The film has received recent notoriety for co-starring Jemaine Clement, star of the HBO comedy Flight of the Conchords. The movie is basically a parody of English-dubbed martial arts films, and the plot is taken from Way of the Dragon.
Plot
The Tongan Ninja is dispatched to the island nation of New Zealand in order to help a brother of his master with his floundering Chinese restaurant. But the mysterious Mister Big stands in the eatery's way as he sends numerous villians such as Knife Man, Gun Man, and the super-sexy Action Fighter who may know a lot about the hero.
DVD
The special features section includes a making of segment including commentary by director and New Zealand native Peter Jackson.
