Binge-Watchers Podcast

One of the best anime ever drawn! Fist Of The North Star Animated Featured from ‘86. And a few cherry-picked headlines from the greater universe of tv, movies, and pop culture - stay tuned or fast forward - LETS GO!!!

Tonight’s movie is Fist Of The North Star.

So this movie is like if you dropped Bruce Lee into Mad Max’s universe and asked him to save us all … then you would arrive at Kenshiro who is a supernatural martial artist betrayed by his brothers and his best friend over a woman, so that he is out of the way for the friend to steal the girl and one of evil brothers to win the mantle of a magical power Ken is supposed to inherit. Note when this movie was made the same animation team working and airing the anime show also worked on the movie … Based on an incredible manga called Fist of the Big Dipper.

This is noted as John Cena’s favorite anime.

James Avery, aka Shredder, aka Uncle Phil does the voice of fang in the English Dub.

Hokuto no Ken was released in Japan on VHS in 1988, two years after its theatrical release. The late release was due to the decision to animate a new ending. Unlike the theatrical version, in which Kenshiro falls unconscious during the final battle, the revised ending has both fighters still standing when they're about to deliver their mutual finishing blows before they're interrupted by Lin.

A version of the Italian dub that was released on VHS by Granata Press in 1993 under the title Ken il Guerriero was based on a workprint cut which features some of the violent scenes that are blurred out in the Japanese theatrical version (such as the scene in which Shin engraves the seven scars on Kenshiro's chest) without any discoloration or blurring.

Vampire Hunter D of the 1985 anime movie of the same name makes a cameo appearance as a villager in the scene where Raoh's second-in-command, Uighur, reveals the pot of flowers to the people. Similarly, Kenshiro makes a cameo in Vampire Hunter D as a villager during the scene where the Count's messenger arrives in the village to give the candle to Rei Ginsei.

We discuss our favorite fights in the movie, how the anime may have inspired a popular video game, and how the live action adaptations of anime are usually bad.
