Y US? Fist of The North Star (1995) Review Mockery Climax

Y US? Explores the lesser-known live action whitewashed adaptation of the Japanese Classic Manga/ Anime Franchise, The Fist of North Star. Our personal belief is that "First Look Studios" exists as a money laundering shell corporation. No other reason why a studio produces such a laughable attempt of film. None the less, we torture ourselves for you, the viewer.
Fist of the North Star is a 1995 American science fiction martial arts film based on the Japanese manga of the same name by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara. The film was directed by Tony Randel, who also co-wrote the script with Peter Atkins, and stars Gary Daniels, Costas Mandylor, Chris Penn, Isako Washio and Malcolm McDowell. A Japanese dub of the film was produced by Toei Video which featured the cast of the 1980s anime television series reprising their roles. The film was released direct-to-video.

The film, which loosely adapts the first story arc of the original manga, centers on Ken (Daniels), the lone master of the "North Star" martial art school, who wanders the post-apocalyptic Earth in search of his nemesis Lord Shin, the man who killed his master and kidnapped his fianc e. Meanwhile, Shin rules as dictator of the city of Southern Cross with his personal army known as the Crossmen, who are given orders to hunt down Kenshiro.
