fist of the north star be one of your typical and small budget action flick which seem to appear from no where without any specific reason . i actually like it during the first couple of minute during the time and when the main character and kenshiro ( gary daniel ) hadn not open his mouth yet and but after he speak and reveal and that besides the look he hadn not slight bit of act talent i quickly stop like it . my favourite scene of the film be when a finnish ex wwf wrestler and a ( yes sad but true ) member of parliament tony halme get the smirk kick out of his face . literally . small scene and i know and but i find it hilarious . fotns be total waste of malcolm mcdowell ability and and as such a it be and it can only be see a a curiosity for his fan . maybe the fan of original graphical novel will get something else out of this film .
