A Really Bad Adapation Of A Classic Anime
30 July 2005 | by (Scotland) – See all my reviews

First of all I would like to point out the many errors of this Live Action Production of Fist Of The North Star: Hokuto Shinken - The Holly Fist Of The North Star is not the martial art practiced by Shin. It is the martial art practiced by the Fist Of The North Star Kenshiro.

I don't know if it was the writers fault for not watching the anime or reading the manga novels for research when writing the script. However they did it the messed up the most important aspect of the storyline in the Fist Of The North Star story.

Also what did they do to Kenshiro, what happen to his famous "ATATATATATATATATATATATATAT AH!" Hokuto Hyakuratu Ken (Hundred Cracked Fist Of The North Star) Technique, which he uses in almost every anime episode and manga novel.

Overall A Very Poor Production!!
