Fist Of The North Star (1986 Film)
is a 1986 Japanese adult animated post-apocalyptic martial arts film based on the manga of the same name. It was produced by Toei Animation, the same studio who worked on the TV series that was airing at the time, with the same cast and crew working on both projects. Unlike the TV series, the movie is not a direct adaptation of the manga, but instead tells an alternate story that rearranges characters and plot elements from the manga's first 75 chapters. However, the film retains the more violent content of the original manga, which the television series lacked. Plot A global nuclear war has turned most of Earth into a contaminated wasteland, with humanity's survivors now fighting over the few uncontaminated food and water supplies still remaining. Kenshiro, a master of the deadly martial art '' Hokuto Shinken'', is traveling with his fiancee Yuria when they are confronted by a gang led by Ken's former friend Shin, a master of the rival ''Nanto Seiken'' style. Shin proclaims t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
