Summary: Live action vs. Anime
Review: Ok first of all, this movie is Live action. Your not gonna get the gore quality of Anime without kickin out some serious bucks. Had George Lucas and his movie entourage taken over this production then many of the opinions written here would be justifiable. Unfortunately it wasn't, so what are we left with? A decent dialogue, extremely well rehearsed fight sequences that smack of John Woo, and a very good storyline. Gary Daniels and Costas pair off very well together. If you want a Hot action movie then this is the one for you.

Summary: Classic
Review: Ok the Orignal Fist Of The Northstar movie was good for it's time. However, this real life remake is crazy good. I like the fact that even though this product seems to be made on a low budget they kept everything important intact. For example, this move has very artistic moments. The acting is very good and the storyline is even better than the orginal(even tough it basically is)this one makes the story easyier to follow. The one thing that made this movie almost impossible to make on this budget and at this time was Ken's strength. The moto "fists fly heads explode" translate to "fist fly why didn't his head explode". A true fan would say hey they tried, or at least this if humerious. Good job, you have done well!

Summary: Must Have For Manga Fans of The Movie
Review: The Animation in this Fist of The North Star TV series is not the best. In fact they are pretty ridiculous. But if you look past this, it was after all made in the mid-1980s, the Disc contains 210 minutes of escapism (especially for Manga fans). It does have its moments especially when the animation freezes to announce Kenshiro's fighting moves. Excellent Stuff. The DVD contains the 1st 7 Episodes of the Series and can be viewed in both English dub and the original Japanese language. I would advise most people to watch it in English simply because the characters are Western and it looks strange/sounds strange in Japanese (with English subtitles).

Review: The Animation in this Fist of The North Star TV series is not the best. In fact they look pretty silly.

This DVD contains the Episodes 8-14 of the Series and can be viewed in both English Dub and the Original Japanese language. I would advise most people to watch it in English simply because the characters look "Western" and hence it sounds rather strange in Japanese. Finally one has to Buy this DVD for the Episode Titles Alone. For Example: 1:STRIKE THE HIDDEN POWER POINT! No Requiem For The Wicked
2:VILLIANS! Say Your Prayers Before You Die!
3:RAGING FLAME REVERSE FLOW PUNCH! There Are Too Many Who Must Die!
4:VILLIANS! Listen To The Blues Of Hell!
5:I AM DEATH! I Will Chase You To The Ends Of Hell! 6:THE ARHAT DEVA FIST! Once Unleashed, There's No Holding It Back!
7:A MISERABLE AGE! Good People Die So Young! FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Summary: Interesting take on the anime
Review: The only comment I could add was a couple disappointments. I was hoping for a widescreen version. There just wasn't one there. The other one I may be way off base on.... but there's one scene in the movie where Kenshiro was mowing down alot of guys..one right after the other. Now the version I remember on HBO, I could've sworn when the fight ended, that the camera cut back to a wide angle view where you saw Ken in the middle of the room and all the bodies lying around him. That reinforced the notion that Ken just kicked the living daylights out of ALOT of people. The DVD version didn't have that. Maybe I'm off base there. Otherwise... this was a decent remake for a B-movie. Not bad indeed.

Summary: THIS IS NOT THE ANIMATED VERSION!!!
Review: This is almost certainly the "live action" version that was made a few years ago, which was absolutely horrible. Even if I'm wrong, and it IS the anime version, it only has the dubbed English soundtrack (see technical notes). Spare yourself the pain, and DO NOT BUY THIS!

Summary: If I could give Lower, I would!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is the most heinous tribute to an anime feature I have ever had the sorry displeasure to ever witness. The fight scenes were mediocre, the actors were as exciting as 3 day old dish water, and the fact that they had the nerve to associate it with so venerable and revered an anime classic as the TRUE FIST, makes me wish to humbly vomit in the ajacent vacinity of these film makers. Why would Malcolm McDowell lower himself to so low an estate as to associate himself with such a slipshot production? What the hel possessed the film makers to even make it? Do they wish to insult the public?

Summary: ZERO stars...AAAAGGGHHHHHHH.......
Review: This is, quite honestly, a low-budget ripoff of a good idea by people who had absolutely NO clue as to what "Fist Of The North Star" was actually about. Downtown Julie Brown is downright laughable in her role. If you've read this far, you're WAY too interested in this waste of time and probably need therapy in the worst way!
