Don’t mess with Kenshiro, because
Fist of the North Star is the Greatest Movie EVER!
This movie contains:
Gary Daniels and his Singular Facial Expression.
The late Chris Penn in one of his Greatest Performances.
Future Thugs. Notice that Clint Howard WEARS NO MAKE-UP.
THE GLOW.
HOLY ZOMBIE MALCOM MCDOWELL!
This movie largely lacks:
Exploding Heads.
YOU WA SHOCK!!
Obviously Goob, now you hafta review the 1986 anime movie. Macek dub and all. (Apparently Macek himself had a VA role!)
Why is it no other movie has tried to include zombie Malcolm McDowell? All movies would be better with zombie Malcolm McDowell
…What?!
I am so very happy you’ve covered this fantastic film.
Here’s the fight in the Hokuto no Ken anime. It’s quite a feat to emulate.
RIP, Chris Penn. He was a great character actor.
What happened to the Month of Mark Dacascos? I was waiting for Only the Strong. Mark + capoeira + Miami high school + drugs = The Greatest Movie EVER!
The Big Month of Mark Dacascos has been postponed due to a combination of technical difficulties and other planning mishaps. It will resurface eventually, but first I need to cover some other important material.
Kenshiro’s shirt doesn’t get ripped off so much as it EXPLODES.
You have shamed me. This has been on my “get around to see it” list since it came out, and I never have. And now, it’s shipping to me c/o Netflix, along with that awul live-action Faust (the comic book version) movie. And a Mark Dacascos film. Yeah, gonna be a good weekend.
i love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
