this movie have to be the single bad example of a manga or anime to movie transition to ever come into existence . nothing about this flame pile of dung be good . we have a hairy white guy with a japanese name ( who be supposedly the master of the hokuto shinken martial art ) who could barely land a decent punch on his goofy and wholly ineffectual enemy and another hairy white guy ( who be supposedly a master of the nanto koshuken form of the nanto seiken martial art ) who and a be mention in a previous comment and fought like a common street thug and sport a hilariously stupid accent and a japanese lady who couldn not speak a lick of english and have to read cue card write in her native language to struggle through all of her scene ( all 0 . 015 of them ) and a total switch around of the hokuto no ken character and canon and act bad enough to strip the paint from a wall and the most mind numbingly fake movie set in the history of the universe and and a less than healthy dosage of regurgitate mystic oriental proverbs courtesy of ryuken ( which of course make absolutely no sense whatsoever ) . a complete and utter bastardization . and even if i hadn not see this lame assed movie with the knowledge of it origin and i would have still give it a fail grade . the fight scene be laughable and the plot razor thin ( without the campy goodness from the anime and manga that make it fun ) and the actor wooden and unconvincing and and the enjoyment null and void . there be no good point to this film . absolutely none . it a failure of the high degree and it existence should be remove from all human memory .
