As much as we'd all love to see Bowfinger's focal fake sci-fi film Chubby Rain, the very end of the movie teases one better: a martial arts romp starring everybody who worked on Chubby Rain called Fake Purse Ninjas.

The trailer touts it as an homage/parody of classic martial arts films like Enter the Dragon, as Jiff Ramsey (Eddie Murphy) and Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) team up to raid a warehouse full of ninjas... making counterfeit purses. Yup.

In addition to rescuing the beautiful blonde (Heather Graham) the ninjas have kidnapped, the duo are seen fighting their way through a bevy of dubiously-attired goons with the worst fight choreography this side of Star Trek's infamous Gorn episode.

But it sure as hell looks fun, visible camera crew be-damned, topped off by a surprise appearance from Christine Baranski as a culturally insensitive ninja warlord touting impractically long fingernails.

From the title on up, this one sells itself.
