Summary: This Movie is off da hook
Review: I saw this movie when I was a Freshman in college....I happy to see it will be available on DVD. The fight scenes have the essence of what anime is all about. One of the Best Classice Japanimation movies on the market.

Summary: this has got to be the sickest anime i have ever seen.
Review: the violence in this Anime is stronger than Akira's. man, there is a lot of graphic Gore with a hundred exploding Heads, bodies teared apart in half and all that stuff. be prepared for the Barf Bag when viewing this Movie, the animation is similar to Rankin-Bass but still a awesome and disgusting Movie. i would also recommend similar Movies to this: The Toxic Avenger, Re-Animator, Dead Alive, The Hobbit, Day of the Dead, Commando and Princess Mononoke.

Summary: Best Anime of All Time
Review: Of all the anime movies that I have seen, Fist of the North star is by far the best. Although its animation does not measure up to Ghost in the Shell, or any of the more recent anime movies, the storyline by far makes up for this. I mean hell, you can't blame it on the animators, who made this movie a hell of a long time ago. It really is a great movie. I fully recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Good solid animation...and lots of exploding heads...
Review: Ever seen a head explode after one punch? Well you will see that in this movie....about a 100 times. This movie has been compared to Dragonball Z, just more intense...It is somewhat...men with superhuman strength and all striving to reign over all is pretty much the gist of it...the color red is a very popular color in this movie because you sure as hell see a lot of it...don't get me wrong, the story and animation are solid....the ending was sorta of a let down for me...but it left room for additions...

Summary: One of the all-time greats in Anime-Movies
Review: This work is an adaption of the comic-series "Fist of the North Star". Although it differs (like Akira) this movie adaption is nonetheless on of the classics of modern Anime-Movies. It cannot be coincidence that this movie was the first to be released by the Manga Entertainment Label. Unlike the animated series, the movie does not rely too heavy on martial arts moves and has to be watched closely. The interconnections between the main-characters can become quite confusing.

Summary: Oh, look. More blood. Yawn.
Review: Wow, this is the first anime I've seen that really takes that cake on over-exageration of physical power. -Oh, look, Ken made a man's head explode by yipping like a weiner dog and hitting him in the stomache. Again.- If PLOT is at all a value for you in a movie/anime, DONT GET THIS. If you want something more than gratuitous blood and gore, DONT GET THIS. This movie quickly becomes a "oh, what small and insignificant supervillain will challenge our hero next and be roasted on a barbeque," hum-drum anime. I certainly advise RENTING this before you buy it.

Summary: An unjustly under-appreciated movie
Review: Fist of the north star was one of the first animes to reach the west. As such it was given a theatrical release. Hailed as amazingly violent, the film centres on the man who can save humanity from the clutches of an evil emperor. The pace of the film is good, as are the overall action sequences. Like Vampire Hunter D the animation has suffered considering that it is over 10 years old. The music is fair and the dubbing is competent. The best live action film to compare this to is a more violent Mad Max. The DVD enhances the overall quality of the film. This still remains as one of the best early animes. It is stylish and is not afraid to show scenes of extreme violence. Thus it is highly recommended.

Summary: The BEST movie created!
Review: I just can't believe people can actually give this classic a 1 star. Probably still IS the most violent anime or even movie created. Amazing characters like Raoh, Jagi, Rey just to name a few. Action, romance, uuh...action. The more I watch this movie the more I like it! It's still amazing to me that this movie was done in 1986! Don't be fooled by the 1996 B-movie version.

Summary: Don't Care For Reviews. Care For Your Own TASTE
Review: Well well well. First I would like to stress that these reviews are made in the opinions of the ones who have seen the film. Everyone has a different taste to movies. Well for me, The Fist Of The North Star is like the greatest, most wickest, amazing, animation I have ever seen. I really enjoyed the movie, laughed and cried too. The plot is amazing , the animation is so cool and the violence in this is even more intense than DRAGONBALL ! Others might say that is a stupid movie but I honestly enjoyed watching it and most of my friend enjoyed it too. There are scenes that are comical and tragedical at the same time and you don't know whether to laugh or cry. The scene that touched me most is the scene with Ken protecting the girl! . AMazing STORY. You really have to see it to choose.

Summary: Pretty cool flick.
Review: Good movie, but I think a lot was lost in the dubbing. The dubbing makes the movie seem rather silly, whereas it was probably intended to be serious. A must-see if you like animated violence.

I don't think it takes the cake for worst dub ever. The new Dragonball Z episodes from Funimation are much, much worse.
