"Fist of the North Star" is the live action movie based on the popular anime.

Anime fans may enjoy this movie, but I found it to be pretty boring. There are hardly any good performances here, and the direction is nothing to rave about. There are some fairly entertaining action scenes toward the end. Sadly, it’s a very American style of action, so there are lots of misses that are supposed to be hits, and the pace and camerawork are both bad.

Only for hardcore Gary Daniels or anime fans.

Making an adaptation of this classic series is almost impossible. Maybe if Peter Jackson, with a huge budget and an actor that has 1/10 of the martial ability of a real Kenshiro, made a trilogy of this 100+ episodes manga, well, maybe we would have something that can rival the series. But we're far from the above. This low budget film is not that bad; but, like I said, the task is almost impossible.
