Summary: The very best anime film!
Review: This is the best anime film ever created.
Those who disagree has no clue of the story behind this film.
When they see Kenshiro punch a guy in the head and it suddently explodes, they don't know that he actually hits at preassure point in the head,whitch causes this "mysterious" head explosion.Kenshiro uses a deadly martial art named "Hokuto Shinken" or Fist Of the North Star whitch uses a person's 708 Keiraku Hikou preassure points. These preassure points destroys a person from the inside.
A normal person uses only 30% of his natural abilities, a Hokuto
shinken successor knows how to ultilize his remaining 70%. Whitch probably explaines why his jacket rips apart in the anime movie. Therefore i recommend all who is planning too see this movie, Please read the manga first, It will answear many of your questions when you see the anime.

Summary: Totally ridiculous
Review: Okay, I have to admit that Fist of the North Star was enternaining to watch, assuming you watch it with friends who can mock the movie with you. But it was really, really bad. First of all the movie was entirely too long, the plot was kind of untineresting and I lost track of who most of the characters were for a while. That didn't really matter though. After a point the movie breaks down... ... All it all this movie is terrible the plot is horrible, the violence is ridculous, and the ending will leave you ranting and screaming "What the heck was that!" for hours.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: Fist of the North Star the animated movie is the best anime I have ever seen. It's the only film that I have seen that can destroy Akira. The movie takes all of the ground-breaking work and amplifies it ten fold. The death scenes are fabulous, especially Rei's. A must see for any and all anime fans

Summary: This makes the series seem like Child's Play
Review: This movie is simply incredible. It stands alone next to Akira as the best anime movie I have ever seen. The quality of the animation is beefed up ten fold, so if you were in awe over the regular series be prepared to pee your pants. The precision of Rei's nanto suichoi ken is breath taking. Fist of the north star is a must buy for anyone addicted to the ultra-violence.

Summary: Classic Anime
Review: You know a classic when u see it, and this is definitely up there and above most other anime. The style of drawing is different than most anime 2day, which u will appreciate. The story is fairly corny in a good way, "Story of Ricki HO" revisited. If u r looking 4 enetertainment then this movie should b ur 1st choice. This is a classic must have anime 4 anime collectors, and those who appreciate good old "gory senseless violence."

Summary: "Power without perception is spiritually useless..."
Review: "...and therefore of no true value".
Of course soon after the speaker of these words, Ken and Raul's father, is murdered by Raul who goes on to gather an army and finish the job the nuclear war started.
Not a deep film in the traditional sense (although you know the anti-nuclear war sentiment was tried here), FOTNS is quite simply 'Road Warrior' on steroids. Everything is amped up to unbelieveable levels, from the violence - you haven't lived until you've seen a man sliced up like so many slices of deli meat - to the corny dialogue. Ken's girlfriend is apparently some sort of post-apocalypitic Johnny Appleseed and seems to be more concerned with the dying Earth than Ken, but that doesn't stop him from nearly giving his life for her twice. Figures.
Although not as understandable as the Japanese OAVs based on the manga of the same name, this film gives Westerners a pretty good idea of what passes for adult animated entertainment over there, and I for one want more on the screen, that is). 'Legend of the Overfiend' was a bit much, but this is no better or worse than some of our bloodfests. Plus it's got cool death scenes.

Summary: Really bad, but a lot of fun
Review: This is the only anime that I watch with the English dialogue on. Why? Because it's so bad, that it makes the movie a comedy. I am dead serious. There have been several occasions where I have had many friends over, and with or without chemical substances, we laugh so hard at this film that we have to pause while we gasp for breath. I am a huge anime fan, but for me, FOTNS is the anime equivalent of "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" or "The Toxic Avenger". It's full of bloody gore, bad dialogue, and people who change their size every time the camera changes angle. Ships stuck in the buildings are neat! Serious anime fans (otaku) will hate this film, but if you like cheese you may really have a good time! I know I keep coming back to FOTSN, like a car crash that I have to watch.

Summary: Not bad for a TV series compilation
Review: This DVD movie is basically a compilation of the first Hokuto No Ken TV series that was aired in the mid 80s in Japan. First time viewers may not understand or know about how the characters came about and the histories these people had in the series. Yes, we are introduced to our protagonist Kenshiro, his "brothers" Jagi and Raoh, Nanto Rokuseiken practitioners Shin, Rei, and Julia (Yuria actually), Lynn (the girl), and Bat and some others. We don't get to meet Toki (another of Kenshiro's Hokuto Shinken practicing brothers), the other three Nanto Rokuseiken practitioners (Shu, Yuda, Souther), and some other minor supporting characters. Several of the reviews don't give this DVD a fair shake and I can see that considering the quality of animation and the dubbing that was done. I agree that the animation is not top notch compared to today's standards, but what stands out to me is the story itself. Kenshiro is a guy who dearly loves this girl, but is betrayed by a former friend and his own brothers. He then steps out into this post apocalyptic world to find her and to live in peace with her. In the meantime, his brothers who want to be known as the "official" Hokuto Shinken successor are trying to kill him and he also has to deal with his once good friend Shin. There are several human qualities that come out in this film: loyalty, honor, courage, forgiveness, integrity, and love. Kenshiro doesn't hurt or kill people just for the sake of killing them. Only those who deserve it. If you ever get a chance to watch the TV series, you'll be won over like I did and can perhaps watch this film with more appreciation than the casual anime viewer. You'll be wondering why the ending in this film is not like how it ended in the TV series!

Summary: eddie's comments on the 86 classic fist of the north star
Review: Hello to all of the animation finatics out there.My name is Eddie Melendez.My honest opinion about this animated film is, it very much triumphs over all japanese animation.The reason being is it is very original in it's story, and ghastly fighting sequeces.I myself own an extremely rare copy of it. This item is in totally flawless condition and is sealed in it's discontinued original Orion pictures box sleeve; on original vhs format,now thats rare.I am very proud of this video because it is out of print on vhs as well as dvd.I am also glad I have this video because it is much harder to find it in mint condition and sealed in it's original sleeve rather than easily finding it on dvd in it's mint orginal case unopened.This video is a true anime' collectors item,especially if it remains out of print.Please do not email me asking to buy it because it is not for sale.Thank you for reading my review,and good luck in your rare anime' collecting.

Summary: One of the top 5 of all time
Review: This was the second anime Doom saw and it remains one of the coolest Doom has ever seen. The only ones that can compare are Ninja Scroll, Guyver, Battle Angel, and Akira (if you haven't seen any of these you must). Doom demands you disregard the bad review so unjustly inflicted upon Fist by emasculated heathen critics. Doom's will be done.
