Fist Of The North Star

OK, this is the most violent fighting film you'll ever see. People's heads explode just because they're punched! Not that we're complaining though..... The story is set after a post-nuclear war. Everyone is dead....well, they're not because all these other people are alive. Ken, who just so happens to be fist of the north star, gets beaten up by his former friend Shin, who just so happens to be fist of the south star. After popping all these holes into Ken's chest ( he sould have done a little smiley face instead. Imagine : "I'm looking for the man you describe, the one with a smiley face!"), he nicks his girlfriend Julia, and they have a stupid soppy scene ( worst part of the film. Not that there's anything wrong with soppy scenes, but here they are to soppy. And stupid). After that; Let the violence begin! There's blood everywhere! Limbs fly around! People get chopped up! It's all rather excellent. I particularly like Ray, because he chops people up with his hands. And the end bit with Ray vs. King Ral with that cool music is undoubtedly the best part. Woohoo! I can't wait to see the series. Oh, and yes, of course you should have it. Fool.

2nd Opinion: Tacky drawings (hmm - Lyndon) but then again it's a Manga movie so it's impossible to hate it (that's better!). It also has the amazing voice-overs of Tom Wyner (the thug-meister). Also the great sayings such as: "that's right Ken, I killed him!" and "Put him down Ral, he's dying!" and who could forget "King Ral! King Ral! You're supposed to say it along with everyone else!", "the king doesn't dirty his hands fighting with scum like you!" and "I'm looking for the one you describe. The one with the 7 wounds!" and lastly " Never set foot in this dojo again!" and second lastly "Bring me the whip! Yes lord Jaggi," and third lastly "All my life I've called you my brother. No more!" and utmost lastly "I've got a couple of tricks of my own!".
