“Kung Fool!” In a casting decision undoubtedly made to set the Internet on fire, that guy David Hasselhoff will star in Beverly Hills Ninja 2, the sequel to Chris Farley’s 1997 contribution to the fat joke. Apparently the sequel will be a theatrical release from Sony. It wasn’t confirmed whether Hoff will play the titular throwing star handler. Mitchell Klebenoff, who scribed the original as well as the 1987 Fatboys’ pill party, Disorderlies, will shoot the film primarily in South Korea, where no mainstream Hollywood production has gone before. Excited?

David Spade didn’t co-star in the original Ninja (Chris Rock did the honor), but I’m killing two clipped birds with one dull stone. Spade will star in the would-be comedy, Divorced Guys, for director Fred Wolf, who’s coming off the Happy Madison sleeper hit The House Bunny. Wolf also wrote Joe Dirt, Black Sheep and Dirty Work (Norm, we need you). They co-wrote the script with actor-writer Kevin Farley, Chris Farley’s younger brother, and the plot centers on a “group of divorced guys who go on a road trip to figure out why their marriages failed and stumble into a series of comic mishaps.” Sounds like Wild Hogs humped today’s Hangover in the name of friendship.

    True story: Last Friday I saw David Hasselhoff in person, and whereas most people look different than on TV, The Hoff looks exactly like he does on TV. He was just having lunch, sitting on the sidewalk for all the world to see, telling someone a story, waving his arms.

    The Hoff, if nothing else, is a man of the people.

    And he can eat the **** out of a cheeseburger. That, too.

    Oh, and this movie is gonna suck. But that part you knew already.

    David Hasselhof single handedly saved Kickin it Old School.

    Surely he must be a god.

    is anyone else bothered by this?
    I wish they'd just leave it alone! (see: Chris Crocker).
    and then there's the whole thing with David Hasselhoff being in it,
    but that's another, yet totally related story.

    What? Why? You can't make a sequel to Beverly Hills Ninja without the original white ninja, Haru. What the hell is it going to be about when the main character has been dead for over 10 years!?

    @ Hunter: " (Norm, we need you)"

    Damn right.

    Completely disrespectful.

    To comment on the last paragraph of this news. David Spade pisses me off to no end, more and more I'm realizing that he isn't acting when we plays those sleazy little weasel characters.

    And the Hoff will forever be my hero because of that cheeseburger video. Although they should probably just loop that footage for an hour and half, it'd be better than this film.

    Personally, I consider Dirty Work to be the Maltese Falcon of revenge comedies...

    Hey I have to give David a high five for rolling with the punches, no matter how much I try and hate the guy, he is not deserving. Sure he is a washed up former star on a comeback, he hasnt made good choices and has a huge drinking problem.

    Hey at least he is trying to get it together right? I cant say I am a fan really, but keep your head up David, one day at a time.

    why make a second movie when the first one is just as better!
