Fist Of The North Star 1986 | comment |
Fist of the North Star (北斗�拳; Hokuto no Ken), mostly known as Fist of the North Star: The Movie for simplicity’s sake, is a 1986 animated adaptation of the manga of the same name by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara, produced and animated by Toei and directed by Toyoo Ashida, who also directed the anime series made around the same time.Made in the wake of the series’ popularity and to promote the anime, the movie roughly adapts the first 72 chapters of the manga (or the first 49 episodes of the anime), but makes a lot of changes to the story and removes a lot of characters in order to make a cohesive What If? story.In 1991 it was given an English dub by Streamline Pictures and with a translation made by none other than Carl Macek. This is how most people in the West were introduced to the series. | |

Hotter and Sexier | |
Fist Of The North Star 1986 / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: Surprisingly averted. While there’s only one scene where Yuria strips naked, it’s noticeably less detailed than the nudity shown on the TV show. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
Fist Of The North Star 1986 / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The original Japanese trailer boasts that the movie is going to feature “The 10 Great Battles of Hokuto� and proceeds to list them all. While some are accurate, like “KENSHIRO vs. JAGI� and “KENSHIRO vs. RAOH,� the others barely qualify as fights as they either end to quickly like “KENSHIRO vs. ELEPHANT�Note Heart’s original name for the movie or don’t even qualify as fights at all like “KENSHIRO vs. REI.� | |

Fist Of The North Star 1986 / int_1f963842 | comment |
Bloodier and Gorier: OH YES. Because it didn’t have the restrictions of TV programming, the movie features violence more on par with the original manga, with plenty of red blood and internal organs being visible. While it was sadly still hit with some half-assed censorship at the last minute, the violence is still noticeable more brutal and graphic. | |

Adapted Out | |
Fist Of The North Star 1986 / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Because the movie is a very compressed adaptation that crams a lot of chapters into a roughly 2-hour movie, a lot of characters had to be left out, and most of them are very important ones in the original story. The last of the Hokuto Brothers, Toki, does not appear at all nor is he even mentioned. Rei’s love interest, Mamiya, is also nowhere to be seen. None of Shin’s KING subordinates (Spade, Club and Diamond) aside from Heart appear. Joker, an original character made for the anime, is also absent. While Jackal does appear in what basically amounts to a cameo, Devil Rebirth doesn’t (though early promotional material seems to indicate he was planned to be in it at some point. | |

Fist Of The North Star 1986 / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Rei dies, Ken loses track of Yuria and it's implied he might never see her again. But Lin and Bat discover a bunch of plants growing in the barren soil, giving hope that the Earth might become green again. | |

Animation Bump | |
Fist Of The North Star 1986 / int_7ea2a915 | comment |
Animation Bump: One of Toei Animation’s most lavishly-animated movies, the movie boasts character animation that’s a lot more fluid than what you’d find on TV anime at the time and extremely detailed backgrounds. This is more notable in the fight scenes and especially the death scenes. | |

Award-Bait Song: “PURPLE EYES� by Kodomo Band, which plays during the end credits. The English dub features an instrumental of it instead. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
Fist Of The North Star 1986 / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Quite a few characters who played major roles in the manga and anime had their roles significantly reduced. Jackal is reduced to one of Jagi’s lackeys who dies in the same scene he’s introduced in because he reacted with horror at Jagi’s disfigured face. The Golan Cololel only makes two short appearances to give news to Shin and is unceremoniously killed by Shin for telling him that Yuria wasn’t a priority. | |
