Chris Rock has identified the 1997 comedy Beverly Hills Ninja as the film he would most like to erase from his career. The article presents the remark as a candid assessment of an early supporting role, while also highlighting the financial pressures that can influence performers’ choices.

Rock appeared alongside Chris Farley in the martial-arts parody, playing Joey Washington. He said he accepted the part after buying a house and needing the money, despite later regretting the film; it arrived shortly before his wider rise through stand-up and The Chris Rock Show.
