the narrative is more complex than the usual mindless science-fiction action concoction.

Shockingly, ridiculously, almost stupidly entertaining.

Audience Reviews for Fist of the North Star

The cartoon is better.

Barry Lappin

Super Reviewer

This live-action adaptation of the postapocalyptic Japanese animated series is dull with terrible martial arts sequences what actor Gary Daniels made in his title role.
