Will Anger Some, Please Others., 26 February 2000
7/10
Author: magilvilla from Robinson, IL

Fans of the anime expecting a direct remake will surely be disappointed. Many changes are made and characters left out. Martial arts fans will definitely be happy! Gary Daniels really gets to show his stuff here! The fight with about 30-40 guards is a masterpiece! Costas is actually able to fake fight pretty good. He looks good in the movie though. The fight between him and Gary is excellent. Overall a good movie.
