Somehow or other I managed to watch and comment on the live action remark of his famous film/series. Meanwhile Raoh's rebuffed claim to be the rightful Fist has left him bitter and hungry for power with his army and individual powers seeing him grow in strength and power, creating a world of repression that is at odds with the hope manifested in two young children who find themselves under the care of Kenshirô and Rei. Kenshirô somehow survives this and returns to seek justice, aided by fighter Rei, whose sister has been kidnapped by Kenshirô's brother Jagi (who was the one who poisoned Shin against Kenshirô in the first place). With this as a backdrop, powerful Fist of the North Star Kenshirô, is left for dead when his equally powerful friend Shin defeats him and takes his lover Julia for himself. All men are afraid and this leads to tribalism where strength and power over others is all, leading in turn to cruelty and violence. Mankind has finally destroyed itself and those that have survived find themselves on a barren, dead planet. Slight.) The only thing wrong with this movie is that it is under infinity hours long. I was laughing for hours (slight exaggeration. The punch line effect of the writing and the animation is so subtle, so superb. PLEASE watch this movie so you can agree with me. It is the scene where Shin kills his own trusted commander. I have to add, the funniest moment in any movie EVER in the world is in this movie. One gripe: the ending (the last like 2 minutes) sucks. Rent it at Blockbuster video under the animation section or action / kung fu. The huge muscles small heads approach (trust me, it is VERY realistic) is hilarious, yet cool looking. the music is good, and the English dubbing is awesome. These belong to you?" You have to watch this movie to know what I mean, of course. "A fight to the death, then!" "You're already dead." and "Hey. Like I said about comedy, the death scenes are made to make you laugh, the writing and speech are designed almost so that you can predict what's going to happen before it does! Then the speech becomes like a punch line.
The movie is all about going from big, powerful guys and gruesome death scenes to more and more and more gruesome death scenes and more powerful guys. Add to that, an intricate story line that follows through and makes sense. Now, I'm also a big fan of comedy, and this movie satisfied the comedy WITH the violence! It's genius, because so few people see this.
A lot of people hate this film because it is a blood fest with "no point", but you have to understand, the point of the movie is to MAKE FUN of the whole thing. This is the most violent movie possibly EVER released. This movie satisfied that to the extreme. This great anime gets a perfect 10/10 from me. A definite must see but avoid the American live action film. Fist Of The North Star along with Urotsukidoji is my favourite Japanese anime movie of all time. One has this guy called Rei (or Ray?) looking for his sister and is also looking for the guy responsible for kidnapping her. In the meantime his eldest brother Raoh has amassed an army and is trying to conquer the world. If he punches anybody they explode shortly after. Ken walks through the barren wasteland (it's set after a nuclear war) and kills bad guys with his style of fighting. It's about a guy called Ken who must get his girlfriend back from his former best friend Shin who beat up Ken, kidnapped his girlfriend and left him for dead. I'll quickly give a brief summary of the story. Also there seems that there are a few gaps in it which makes me wonder if there has been a scene or two edited out or cut down (atleast in the UK version). Only thing that bugs me (just like the series) is that the gore scenes are usually blurred or we see peoples shadows exploding. FOTNS is obviously to some extent based on Mad Max but a heck of a lot better. It has action, adventure, comedy, gore, thrills, spills and for those people disgusted by the sex scenes in Urotsukidoji you'll be happy to know that FOTNS is sex free. I watched the movie just over ten years ago and was quite literally blown away by it. It has better animation, better voice acting (in English) and is less repetitive.

I have to admit that even though the series has more info and detail about the fighting styles etc i think that the movie is slightly better.
Fist of the north star movie 1995 sub tv#
I've just got through watching the first 36 episodes of the TV series of Fist Of The North Star on DVD and until a couple of days ago i thought the TV series came after the movie.
