If you told me that you watched a movie where Ryan from High School Musical beat up a property brother in the midst of his journey to be come dancing ninja I would assume it was a fever dream
9:25 fun fact, it's bad to put your chopsticks standing up in a bowl of rice, because it resembles the incense they use at funerals. whatever researchers they hired were really bad at their jobs. also, that rice is clearly uncooked.
perhaps it could be a foreshadowing that his sensei is gonna die in the dojo and the location of where the uncooked rice hit Ryan is where the bullet was fired.
The fact that he is the ONLY person dressed like that is throwing me for a loop. Where tf did he get his inspiration for flannel, a rat tail, and those godawful socks if nobody he knows dresses like that??
I love taking out of context screenshots from Kurtis’s video. Some of my favourites are “oh drugging your boyfriend without his consent cool cool cool” and “blood type: puka”
the stereotypical “oriental” music, japanese ninjas, korean writing, traditional chinese structures and clothing should tell you everything you need to know about this movie and it’s directors. jeez 😭
The fact that the movie is set "Somewhere in Asia," has Japanese characters, uses Japanese culture (ninja), but has a mix of Korean- and Chinese-style settings and uses a mixture of Korean and Japanese language for all of the writings tells me all that I need to know about it. The creators were too lazy to even pick research actual Japanese culture so they decided to throw in all the east Asian things lmao
I scrolled down to the comments hoping to a comment like this lmao. I started laughing when I saw the ninja tryouts sign and saw it was in Korean. Also, the sign doesn't even have "ninja tryout" at all in the sign. The sign translates to "Recruitment of new members."

Yeah i assumed it was China and then I saw the Hangul everywhere and the guy was talking about ninjas and geisha and wtf.. I guess they weren't kidding when they said "somewhere in Asia" lmao.. He lives in an amalgamation of China, Korea and Japan apparently. Honestly it doesn't only come across as lazy but also really rude to treat it like every culture from Asia are all basically the same thing and can be interchanged randomly. sigh. I also don't understand why the main actor couldn't be an Asian person.. we so rarely see it in western media and the actor being white really has no baring on the story anyway... they didn't have to do it.
@@thepeepeepoopooman5612 I wish I could remember lol, I think it was before the pandemic tho. Just had to ask because of your name, do you watch CallMeKevin?
as someone who used to practice circus arts, I know the hula hoop thing requires balance and strength to perfect. that said, it does look a little odd in a ninja movie.
I don't know what shocked me more the Property Brother or the fact I was convinced Ryan was La Douche's son and there was gonna be this whole 'you may be my dad but you're not my father' y'know, an actual arc.
Kurtis lake was where I baptized my two children, Kurtis and Kurtis. They grow up so fast here in Kurtis town. They start YYU tomorrow *sheds a kurtis tear*
because Ryan from HSM is gay NOT ick, a character in a completely different movie. also "Ryan" isn't always going to play characters that are gay, it's called being diverse and playing different types of characters
He never, at any point, hit the correct DDR arrows. Even when they pretended he was a "good" dancer, still missed every single arrow. I would know, I used to do "End of the Century" on maniac, I'm something of a DDR expert. Lol
I was fine up until one of the property brothers just showed up casually... my reality instantly broke and I am currently astral projecting as I type this from the shadow realm
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.
:/ 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.
The fact that these sort of movies are made for kids, maybe teens, just, dear lord, what even is the thought processes behind this? Writers for these sort of kid/ teen movies can tell any story, literally anything else, but they keep doing racist crap over and over? Who greenlights this sort of trash?
* raised somewhere in Asia since a baby by Asian parents * - *has American accent* - *dresses American* - *seems to not understand anything about Asian culture* makes sense.
I was raised in Vietnam by white parents but I am Vietnamese. My parents even tho they lived there for years don’t speak Vietnamese. I don’t know anything about Vietnamese culture. Where I live in Vietnam everyone dresses in jeans and t shirts “American” like. I have an American accent and don’t speak Vietnamese. It’s a bit confusing but it’s a way of life.
"Somewhere in Asia" was it too hard to just pick one place, one city? Ninjas are Japanese, the whole setting is Chinese, except signs are apparently in Korean. I'm disgusted
Dude 🤦🏻♀️ even the rice bowl with the chopsticks sticking straight up is offensive, it’s like they went out of their way to use every problematic stereotype or misinterpretation of Japanese culture

I think it’s hilarious that who you first saw “Ryan“ as in a movie severely changes how you see this movie. Because I saw him in food boy before HSM, so I will never see him as anything but food boy.
TheBaronOfNothing the actor himself is not gay. Although the director of High School Musical recently revealed that his character Ryan was gay all along. It feels a bit like JK Rowling to me though.
@@sherlock7898 uh... I don't see how that's comparable to Rowling at all. Ryan was super effeminate. I would honestly be more surprised if they tried to say they didn't intend for him to be gay.
Author Cassie Beebe I think it’s not very brave to say it years after the fact but not to mention anything at the time to make sure you get those Disney bucks.
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.
6:49 kurtis doesn’t know his hsm lore. in that song, _ryan_ was encouraging one of the _jocks_ to dance, chad, who was convinced that _he_ couldn’t dance.
17:21 What do ya mean? Hasselhoff is well known for his cover of hooked on a feeling, they didn't need another reason to put it in the movie. It was just permanently embedded in early 2000s culture.
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
Although the translation in the movie was wrong since they said it said "ninja tryouts today" despite it actually translating to "recruitment of new members" - it's hilarious that the word "ninja" isn't even in the sign but they say it is.
Kurtis you fake fan. Chad sang I Don't Dance and Ryan sang back about how he definitely could dance if he tried. Also they were boyfriends and swapped clothes after the song. Unrelated but relevant.
kurtis. i don't dance was about ryan convincing chad that chad COULD dance if he tried. and chad was the one saying "i don't dance." get your facts straight homie
So my name is Elisa, but because of the way Kurtis says “Elise Estrada” instead of the just “Elise,” the beginning of Estrada makes it sound like an ‘a’ at the end and I feel so much secondhand flattery it’s actually great. Like thanks dude, I was born in Boston but sure I’ll be a Canadian Queen:3
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.
If you told me that you watched a movie where Ryan from High School Musical beat up a property brother in the midst of his journey to be come dancing ninja I would assume it was a fever dream
And who was trained by the sports teacher in glee
Isild LC and David Hasselhoff if the villain
And he’s fucking dating Elisa Estrada
And who’s to say it wasn’t?
I think it still is
If I had a dime for every time Kurtis said “if I had a dime” then I would be rich enough to make my own super weird movie that doesn’t make sense
I bet Curtis could make a dime off of reviewing it.
Nepeta H it would be a dream come true lol
I mean this movie probably only cost 2 dimes
MrTinyCat wym it cost 1 dimes
Actually It was a penny 🤯🤯🤯🤯
maybe he would be better at dancing if he faced the screen that displays the steps to take
He wasn't even stepping on any of the buttons. He didn't hit a single step, he completely failed at DDR lmao

fun fact, it's bad to put your chopsticks standing up in a bowl of rice, because it resembles the incense they use at funerals. whatever researchers they hired were really bad at their jobs. also, that rice is clearly uncooked.

Where I live in Vietnam everyone dresses in jeans and t shirts “American” like. I have an American accent and don’t speak Vietnamese. It’s a bit confusing but it’s a way of life.

21:28 Missed opportunity to say “LaDouche is LaDead”. Stupid but would’ve been funny.
"Somewhere in Asia" was it too hard to just pick one place, one city? Ninjas are Japanese, the whole setting is Chinese, except signs are apparently in Korean. I'm disgusted
nah dude have you seen "Call Me by Your Name"? theyre just "somewhere in nothern italy" in the movie, no specific place
thats what the book was called but im pretty sure they set place in a specific city in the movie
smolbeanharry italy is a generally small country. asia is a huge continent. big difference
smolbeanharry I think “Northern Italy”, a region of a country, is a little more specific than “Asia”, a huge fucking continent. 🤯

Wait, since he fights in his sleep, and fights when he sees girls...
does that mean he was dreaming about girls every time he fought in his sleep?!
Or maybe everytime he sees women he starts to sleep
Oh God, no. He's dreaming about beating up women.
He’s obviously experiencing his first wet dream in that first scene
oh my god that actually makes sense in this twisted universe
Man what bad day to have eyes!!
Dude 🤦🏻♀️ even the rice bowl with the chopsticks sticking straight up is offensive, it’s like they went out of their way to use every problematic stereotype or misinterpretation of Japanese culture

probably because nobody cared what language the signs actually were in, as it wasn't an important element of the story.

You can see him smiling near the end of that line. He can't hide the fact that he thought his own joke was funny.
this whole movie sounds like a fever dream, but i lost my fucking mind when a property brother came out
every time i hear “la douche” i just translate it to “the shower”
Lol same
Me too omg
if you told me before watching this video that a *property brother* was in a shitty ninja movie i would NOT have believed you but here we are
Everything is written in Korean
They speak english
Ninjas are Japanese
Okay cuz that makes sense
That's kinda racist tbh, they just add random Chinese, Japanese, and Korean things and boom, it's Asian
with french subtitles lmao
Ikr, as a Japanese I’m extremely offended
Exactly qlwkrej19e bruh
they also wore Chinese traditional dresses like, ok......
I think it’s hilarious that who you first saw “Ryan“ as in a movie severely changes how you see this movie. Because I saw him in food boy before HSM, so I will never see him as anything but food boy.
“women ain’t property, brother”
subscribed.
Aurora Jenkins congrats :) you now get an extra greeting
That won me over as well.
Ikr finally a youtuber without slaves! i’m so tired of finding a new youtuber only to discover they have multiple women being kept as property!
Haze IKR, this ALWAYS happens.
I read this as “women ain’t property,brother subscribed” and got really confused
Kurtis I will stop at nothing to make sure you know about this gem called *food boy* the most cinematic and genius film ever created
Ps it also has our lord Ryan from hsm
@@maggiecarlson8244 mhm best movie ever
Please kurtis watch that movie
OMG YES YES YES
i loved that movie when i was like 10
Remember "Ryan's" name is is Icky
His name is Icky because he has a rat tail and wears sleeveless hoodies
uh oh lol true
The fact that 'ninja tryout' was written in Korean makes me laugh so much
drew from the property brothers playing the girls bf is the best icing on the cake i could ask for
SAME
not a day goes by that I don’t think about “women ain’t property, brother” I’m crying just typing this
as someone who has only seen this dude as ryan in high school musical it’s bizarre to see him as anything but a Home of Sexual
he's just a very closeted homosexual in this movie
Isn't his actor also gay?
TheBaronOfNothing the actor himself is not gay. Although the director of High School Musical recently revealed that his character Ryan was gay all along. It feels a bit like JK Rowling to me though.
@@sherlock7898 uh... I don't see how that's comparable to Rowling at all. Ryan was super effeminate. I would honestly be more surprised if they tried to say they didn't intend for him to be gay.
Author Cassie Beebe I think it’s not very brave to say it years after the fact but not to mention anything at the time to make sure you get those Disney bucks.
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.
“somewhere in asia” okay, i think it’s safe to say that they’re in kazakhstan
Nah, I’m pretty sure they’re in Russia
Are you kidding me?! You know that they're also in Anatolia and parts of Azerbaijan, right?!
Bruh they're obviously at the bottom of Lake Baikal smh
Nah im pretty sure they are in mongolia
Idk man, looks like Belarus to me
6:49
kurtis doesn’t know his hsm lore. in that song, _ryan_ was encouraging one of the _jocks_ to dance, chad, who was convinced that _he_ couldn’t dance.
I thought I was the only one who noticed!
S t a n
I say we cancel him again for this mistake
I’ve been scrolling the comments for like five minutes trying to see if anyone else saw that.
@@aidanbrace as a chyan connoisseur, of course i noticed. i have listened to that song… far too many times.
Imagine... being the poor Lucas Grabeel and having Dancing Ninja movie part of your legacy as an actor. That's worse than a rattail dude.
Isn't he also in a movie about being son of some mermaid lady that left him stranded when he was young? Or am I thinking of some other dude?
@@DrakeTheDrizz really? Omg who the hell was his manager
DrakeTheDrizz are you talking about the movie The Thirteenth Year? Bc that was some other actor named Chez Starbuck
He's also part of Foodboy😂 At least he has HSM as a part of his legacy as an actor
What did both him and his manager think?
17:21 What do ya mean? Hasselhoff is well known for his cover of hooked on a feeling, they didn't need another reason to put it in the movie. It was just permanently embedded in early 2000s culture.
Your seventh grade picture looks like Jim from The Office.
a clever name he still kind of looks like him honestly
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
Honestly that’s what I thought this was for some reason. I’ve only seen him in HSM and Switched at Birth
poor Ryan. Sharpay keeps stealing all the good roles in movies:(
I remember watching that movie when i was around 10 thinking it was the shit
Food Boy was a guilty pleasure tbh✨
Lmao I wanted to comment this as well, a WILD RIDE
this is my official request for sleeveless hoodie merch

This feels like the sort of movie my parents would of watched 20 years ago and not even notice how racist it is
“신 입 단 원 모 집” means new recruits so at least they got the korean right even if ninjas are japanese lmao
and everyone speaks english
boo
Although the translation in the movie was wrong since they said it said "ninja tryouts today" despite it actually translating to "recruitment of new members" - it's hilarious that the word "ninja" isn't even in the sign but they say it is.
Omg I’m dying.. 😂
Do you think they google translated it?
Kurtis you fake fan. Chad sang I Don't Dance and Ryan sang back about how he definitely could dance if he tried. Also they were boyfriends and swapped clothes after the song. Unrelated but relevant.

kurtis. i don't dance was about ryan convincing chad that chad COULD dance if he tried. and chad was the one saying "i don't dance." get your facts straight homie
mel THANKYOU 🙌🏼
I was thinking that the whole time!!! smh
SMH same, I was just like "soo uncultured ://"
U IS BLESSED
actually it was about how they’re both gay and into each other but chad was in the closet duh
i am like a baby. i like repetition. consistency. his intros keep me entertained.
This comment gives me joy
Brynn McCollister Object Permanence on fleek 🔥🔥
So my name is Elisa, but because of the way Kurtis says “Elise Estrada” instead of the just “Elise,” the beginning of Estrada makes it sound like an ‘a’ at the end and I feel so much secondhand flattery it’s actually great. Like thanks dude, I was born in Boston but sure I’ll be a Canadian Queen:3
Not once did Ryan ever hit one of those arrows. Even when he was supposed to be an amazing dancer.
the property brother showing up made me laugh for a good five minutes

Kurtis: The Most Confusing Movie I Have Ever Seen
Neil Breen Movies: *exist*
Don’t even say that name, my laptops are shaking
"Kurtis: The Most Confu-"
Neil Breen: I did my best to confuse my admirers with quick scene changes after the climax of its story- AM I A JOKE TO YOU?
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.
its funny how there are ninjas (japanese) but it looks like its filmed in korea
I thought the same. That’s probably why they said they were Somewhere in Asia instead of Japan so they couldn’t get called out on it
Jmo “somewhere in asia” almost sounds worse lmao
was about to comment the same
