I haven't seen the Fist of the North Star for ages, then I found this copy in the vidstore. I knew that the live action version couldn't possibly do as much as the powerful and beautifully drawn anime, but I was still disappointed.
The Fist of the North Star, in its anime form, had viciously good graphics, superb story, and good voice acting. Although this movie had a far bigger budget, it fell flat against its progenitor. The fighting in the movie was horrible, especially the final fight. They two were supposed to be masters of their respective styles, yet they fought like two street thugs. Where were the trademark North Star punches and the Southern Cross combos?
Save your money for the originals.
