43 Reasons to Watch “Fist of the North Star” (Exclusive Video Inside)

Tray — More like 43 reasons for a sexy pants explosion. Why did I never see this when I was a kid? And why couldn’t mainstream animation be this violent? Papa Smurf making Gargamel’s melon explode from a finger poke would be bitchin’. I don’t really know what’s going on with the plot of this movie, but it’s awesome.

When I was a kid I actually had the Fist of the North Star NES game. I always thought the game was broken. Now I understand why the enemies would pulsate and explode into a bunch of random pixels after they got hit. We should be able to see more things like this in America instead of the “gotta collect ‘em all PachinkoMonz card battler hentai deluxe happy time” anime we get.

Corbin — There have been other movies related to this small franchise but this is the definitive for Fist of the North Star or Hokuto no ken in Japanese. They need to make more brainless movies like this, hur hurr, pun intended. I’ll raise a tall can of Pabst for this one, cheers!
