Ninja Academy (1989) Losers from various backgrounds (wisecracking rich kid, bimbos, survivalist, secret agent, mime... yes, a mime) engage in hijinks while taking a crash course in martial arts mastery, but must get serious about their training when a competing dojo attacks. The ever-prolific Nico Mastorakis dips his toes into the lukewarm waters of the Police Academy genre, but barely manages to keep things afloat. Watch it out of nostalgia for the era, but don't look for too many laughs.
TIL: One doesn't have to a priest or nun to master what it means to be a Saint. Some canonized Saints who had regular day jobs include St. Isidore (day laborer), St. Thomas More (lawyer), St. Gianna Beretta Molla (doctor), St. Louis Martin (watch tinkerer), St. Zelie Martin (lacemaker), St. Gemma Galgani (housekeeper), St. Clelia Barbieri (teacher's assistant), and St. Joseph Moscati (scientist). No mimes that I know of, but the world is still young, so it could happen.
I HAVE SOME NOTES: More penciled ponderings on my daily Scripture readings.
