  • Dont u guys think the legal problems start the same year as the movie? 

  • This movie is ok like ive been a fan of Shamo for over 2 years now and I Love this manga it would have to be in my top 5 favorites but if you havent read the manga than you will like the movie forsure i just think they could of done better..

  • i love the manga, have never seen the movie bevore.

  • SHAMO IS BACK!!

  • @yahiko435 yea its still there supposidly it was supposed to be updated on july 27th but didnt so idk cause the artist is now out of that lawsuit.....

  • I need the Shamo manga to finish lol..... im like crying here

  • @playernerd How far is it? I found it on Mangafox at Chp 257, but it was that waaay long ago when I was reading it, is it really still there?

  • @yahiko435 the manga stoped at 358 I think and believe me u dont want to stop there

  • @1Piecer Argh, serious? The site I followed it on is only up to 263, volume 26 >.<

  • @yahiko435 sry I thing i did mised up the count it was 258 and to repair my mistake this web hv until 3 chpthers from V27 ( manga traders.com )until 263 and any new chpters.

    Am really sry if I did hv u exited for nothing and I hope u forgive me

  • @1Piecer Just a bit xD It's cool though. Why'd it stop anyways? I never looked into it

  • @yahiko435 it looks like the author hv a money prblem with some1 which estimated 1.4 Million US$ and the issue is still in court untill this day, Source Wiki

    but u know what I did stop watching shamo in ch 258 and it was like 1 year I think and they just release 5 Chpters ONLY!!! u want my advice go watch manga 'Tough' the first season wasnt bad but the sceond season is a Masterpiece, u will like it if u already watch shamo.PS: I did watch the second seaosn before the first and it was AWESOME

  • I read Shamo's manga version and its very M rated. The trailer and live action looks ok.

  • What the hell....the beginning of the last part I was like....wow intense stare...and then WHAM that scared the crap out of me...haha.

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, when the manga GETS finished...

  • Once i finish reading the manga... ima get this film!

  • ME VA A GUSTAR LA PELICULA PORQUE ACTUA BRUCE LEUNG EL MEJOR MAESTRO DE KUNG FU DE LA HISTORIA

  • where can i watch this movie!?!?!????!?!?!

  • i just started with reading of the 18th comic, but the plot is about a gay dancer...

    what the fuck, is narushima coming back??

  • @multikultiraider then start with first one...

    the ladt books kinda suck, but from 1-10 its really good!

  • @Lennyblink182

    actually i started with the first one, what i wanted to say was, that i just started reading with the 18th...xD

    but now im at the 26th its still quite good, but i would agree with you^^

  • @multikultiraider well i just mean that it slips so hard away from the boy being on his own to just surivive, now its about being on tv watched by millions of viewers.

    :/

  • @Lennyblink182

    nah i dont think so, from book 11 on his only desire is to defeat his enemies you know??

    but youre right after that he aint fighting for his life anymore, but its still a good manga xDD

  • I didn't like the movie. I'd save the main actor, he is pretty good as Ryo, and the music. Everything else sucks. Many things in the plot were changed too much, it losed the meaning of many things (Ranka, just to name a thing, that isn't sympathetic at all in the movie), the actor that deos Kurokawa is too young, the one that does Sugawara can't act at all and his character was changed too much (he isn't anywhere close to the noble warrior he is in the manga).

  • NEED MOAR SHAMO

  • It is actually based from a Japanese Manga.

    Then HK Filmakers bring it to life.

    Shamo Rules!

  • SHAMO..!!

  • I fukkin neeed shamooo!

  • fukkkkkkkk where is my Shamoo!!!

  • There is something I don't get. It is very spoilerific, but if you want to know look at one of the messages marked as "spam". It regards his sister, and it is NEVER mentioned in the manga anywhere to my knowledge. (I think the movie just wanted to make things more confusing.)

    @_@

  • arggghhhhhhhhh i also really want the legal shit to sort out i really need shamo!!!

  • Its Masato @ 0:34!!! :D

  • I really hope the legal stuff ends soon.. I WANT MY SHAMO UPDATED!!!

  • where can i go 2 c this movie

  • this manga is awesome

  • the movie was pretty good don't know why people where saying it sucks

  • This manga was based on a true story in the 60-80s .

    If you search his name ryo , you are able to see his true info.

    His sister have grandsons now living in tokyo .. working with yakuzas

  • Any links?

  • God fucking dammit, I hop this legal bullshit with the manga ends sometime soon, because I want more Shamo. And I'm sure I'm not the only one here who wants more.

  • Yeah man. I also hope there are more translators available too.

  • @CalBro so its legal issues that's a relief i i heard it was discontinued altogether

  • @CalBro 1 year later man... nothing..

  • @MadnessJuan Damn shame too.

  • @CalBro yup me too, but after 3 years of waiting, i don't know what will happen with this trial, one thing is shure i don't think it will be a happy end of shamo, but it's how it will badly end that i am waiting :D

  • best manga ever, btw i'm looking for vol 24, does anyone knows where to download it ?

  • The main reason chapters have stopped is because the artist is suing the writer for $1.4 mil (in USD) claiming that he had thought up the character and story.

    Idk, just wiki Shamo

  • Will it contiunue ?Oo

    Cause I damn love it.

  • I hope so 'cause I cant stand not having any more Shamo.

    I'm sure it will eventually continue.

  • that trailer sucked. but the story sounds good. the fighting looks good too.

  • i love the manga i read it from beginning to end 3 times already i really hope that evening gets off its ass and starts making more chapters already this was such a great manga why would they stop!? they way they show karate in its truest form and seeing how a person can be broken down mentally even by their own parents, and finally how dark and evil a person can really become i love shamo!!! RYO NARUSHIMA !!!!!!

  • Question does anyone know when new chapters of Shamo are comind out? It was supposed to in July but I haven't heard anything since

  • looks so bad

  • the manga was incredible...and i hate manga

  • @ZombieSEX Thats fuckin crazy!!!

  • Did he die?

  • Awesome movie, just love it))<3

  • This is a fucking great manga !!! I wanna see this movie :O

  • yea i agree..great manga..but the movie are sucks..really disapponting..

  • At least the kid they've got playing him has the mannerisms down pretty well.

  • agree, the movie is mediocre.

    the ending suck so bad.

    i only watch this movie because of Masato.

  • I thought it was good, not that I've seen the manga.

    One of the most gratifyingly brutal martial arts films ever.

  • read the manga, haven't seen the movie

    but I don't think this movie (or any movie, for that matter) can be more gruesome than "Ichi the Killer" haha

  • it's not even as violent as the manga though. But the action is still awesome.

  • Its too bad the manga isn't in continuation right now

  • It was the most sadistic and unusual manga I've ever read

  • definitely, I never seen such emotionally scarring events happen to a character...but because of those events, Ryo's violence seems really justified, doesn't it?

    makes you go "yeah!" and "f*** him up, Ryo!!!" lol

  • You have got to be kidding me? He caused so much pain in the manga that it makes me sick.

  • why dont the make it a anime insted

  • or a game with the engine of shenmue or yakuza 3

  • turning mangas into rl movies seems to be popular now o_o

  • yeah, I can't even think of one manga ->movie conversion that was at least AVERAGE

  • look's pretty alright I want to see that blood eye moment when he fights Sugawara in that arena

  • Gonna watch this. Although i expect nothing from the movie version as the manga version is better.

  • the dude got raped in the ass in the manga spoiler lols _!_

  • wanna watch this, but i gotta finish the manga first lol.

  • Oh you poor little boy! How idiotic you have been to that you can't even appreciate comics/manga/novels have influenced the entertainment world? forget it, just go to your kindergarten school were your teacher can teach you how to read!

  • shamo is probably the best manga i've read. It holds nothing back, pulls no punch. Read it and you'll love it. (or be disgusted lol)

  • Ryo is probably the least likeable protagonist I have ever seen in a manga. I find it amazing that not only was I caught up in the story, but the character developed in such a way that I actually felt sympathy and even admiration towards him. That's one hell of a writer who can make a violent, parent-murdering rapist into a hero.

  • @soir8: You forgot killer, junkie, steroid-user, at times even coward, douchebag and used to prostitution. Least likeable is an understatement.

    But yes, the writing is so good the reader is somehow sucked in his mind and you can't prevent seeing him as a anti-hero. From his point of view, no matter how distorted that point of view is, he is, in fact, a hero.

  • @Shendue also he's a cheater in karate tournaments

  • @soir8 I think it was the daughter/sister who killed the parents.

  • do they speak chinese or japanese in this movie cause Shamo is supose to be in japanese?

  • Hong Kong is better at martial arts based movies so It's actually a good thing this manga was made into a movie like this..

  • looks good...wonder when it will be released in america

  • Saw this movie, its great! i like it and anyone who hasnt seen it should!

  • i liked it... it was pretty bad ass

  • I read this manga and its still going PRopb;ly not a very good movie BUT ITS A BADASS MANGA AND much action tons of blood every where.

  • Dude...This movie is how Martial Arts movies should be....the fights in this movie are realistic...

  • ya - i really didn't like it - it took itself too seriously and whatever artistic merit it was suppose to have was totally lost on me because the plot was ridiculous.

    whichever - if you like it then thats good. for me it was a waste :(

  • I wanna see this so bad! Hopefully it'll kick as much ass as the manga.

    Epic lols for the conversation below. XD

  • i hope you all like shitty movies because here's one!

  • the manga is mind-boggling

  • it's just about a guy killed his family except his younger sister and later when he was realeased he wanted to become a fighter

  • this movie is rly shit !! it has nothing to do with manga... its a totaly other story!

  • from what i can tell of the trailer it really does have something to do with the manga...

  • where can i watch this movie because i want to see if its as good as the manga

  • I watched the movie, really awesome!! You can watch it with english sub on: crunchyroll . com

  • thanks.

  • Nice Job spoiling it for everyone else Buddy

  • What a nice way of fuckin spoiling it.

    Fortunately I had already seen it.

  • 10 manga books

  • 10 chapters to be specific

  • i haven't read the manga but i saw this and i really liked it. It's definately a weird and dark and somewhat campy movie. Supposedly as i read it's chapters of manga combined condensed into 100minutes and it does show since the story does go by fast.

    I escpecially liked the main charachter Ryo he is my hero!

  • it was gay i meant the ending only

  • DL and watch Shamo at DLAznMovies*com

  • is Shamo still in manga chapter 235?

  • Manga version great.i hope film version better.

    and,i didnt know,i alredy finish read the manga,but still didnt know why ryo kill his parents..

  • i hoep they also covered the monkey part in the movie.

    and no Shamo is not finished yet. there just arent any new scans

  • the movie only goes as far to the Naoto Sugawara fight. But it's highly likely that there will be a sequel.

  • I hate ryo for killing his parents, but I respect him cause he's a badass fighter

  • I can actually understand him killing his parents. They seemed like control freaks. Though doesn't justify murdering them.

    However I thought Ryo raping Naoto's wife/girlfriend was far worse.

  • I can kind of relate to that statement. However, I would find assault to be a worse crime than rape, so calling rape worse than murder is a bit much for me.

  • Hmm yeah. Though rape is a form of assault and I'm sure there's plenty of rape-murders.

    But I didn't really mean to say that rape is worse than murder.

    Again I'm not trying to justify Ryo but I can understand him killing his parents in a way.

    However with Naoto's girlfriend, she was just a means to an end. Ryo just used her to get to Naoto...and I think that's pretty despicable...(not that murder isn't)

  • Maybe you want to kill your parents

    its easy you know

    you just pick up a knife

    and then u can go to prison get fucked,be famous,kill sugawara,learn secret chi techniques,kill the one armed freak and then stop until the manga starts coming out again to beat the gay dancer in a lethal fight with the dark counterpart of the BANRUKAIU KARATE ninjas =.= thats all folks

    + much blood

  • That's ok, I'll pass.

  • i hate you

  • Is the manga finish? or is it still shamo 235?

  • i respect the manga enough to watch this movie, horrible or not.

  • loved the manga; not a lot of flashy moves and incorporates many realistic fighting theories and techniques (and mma). the movie looks very flashy so i'm not sure about it, will give it a try when i comes out though.

  • i agree

    i hope they didn't mess it up

    but i do have a bit o ' faith being that they take this stuff seriously too....

  • shamo is one of the sickes most disturbing manga's i have ever read ... but that's what makes it so intresting *i'm starting to get sick in my stomach again*

  • This looks really good freaky, with a goodlooking lead actor (Shawn Yue) a hong kong film with a LOT of action what could be better everything i need in a movie

  • this looks horrible

  • hmm .. maybe my favorite manga ever ... i'm undecided about this .....

  • Hmm the manga is a LOT classier, but thins does look like i movie that any shamo fan must see

  • Best manga i've fucking ever read! It's going to be interesting to watch this movie!

  • I saw it at HK in March,very good movie and brutal,I love it!

  • wow shamo is now on the big screens i think ill like the manga better than the movie,the character does not fit ryo at all.they are better of creating an anime

  • you can find it on mangavolume's website but they tend to switch our / take down series without any warning.

  • Shamo ..... !!!!! O_O

  • the last shot of him without his shirt looked the most like Ryo from the manga, all skiny+buff at the same time

  • I've read the manga already twice!

  • is chapter 227 up yet

  • i've read the manga already twice

  • for those who doesnt know shamo. It is a japanese manga with a very dark theme. The story is very original compare to other martial art mangas.

  • Can I get it in the states?

  • u can google to find the shamo mangas on some websites they have subtitles in english

  • no. no you can't. go read the scanslations online.

  • masato is sugawara

  • K-1's Masato!??!

  • Oh man if yall havent read the manga then please check it out. Ryo is the epitome of gangsta! He goes from a pussy, to one of the most coldblooded characters ever!

  • Ca m'a l'air quand même beaucoup moins trash que l'original, mais ca parait pas mal quand même. Faut voir si le scénario suit, parce que c'est le plus intéressant dans le manga.

    It seems very less violent than the original, but it still seems cool. I can't wait to see if the story is as interesting as the manga's one.

  • J'adore le manga j'ai hâte que le film sorte

  • HONG KONG HARDCORE!Can't wait to see this...

  • io sto ancora rodendo per l'interruzine del manga in italia..a fan culo tutti i contratti di copyright ma perchè la planet manga nn fa uscire anche gli utlimi 5 volumi?fan culo...era veramente l'unico fumetto degno di esser chiamato manga d'azione

    solo azione...azione pura...movimento e dinamismo in ogni tavola...

    peccato

  • dio quanto hai ragione!

  • is there any news about his movie ?

    or is there anyone posted this movie already ?

  • cazzo su internet nn si trova nessuna informazione che riguardi l´uscita al cinema o in dvd...sembra quasi che se ne sia persa ogni traccia

  • why hasn't there been more news on this?

  • no one looks similar to the manga's characters

  • I think Ryo looks pretty damn good according to the manga.

  • Actually I got to say that a few of the characters look a little bit different than their manga counterparts for example Kenji Kurokawa looked a LOT older in the manga.

    The good part is at the very least they act like the characters. Kenji was a no nonsense bad ass teacher in the manga and he's the same in the movie.

  • where did u c the movie man? Im dying to see it but I cant find the english version anywhere? can u help?

  • ma almeno subbato in italiano si trova?

  • Il film è già uscito. Ne parlano come di un film riuscito a metà, ma aspetto con ansia di vederlo perchè dog bites dog mi era piaciuto.

    E no,probabilmente non arriverà mai in italia.

    Non ci arriverà mai perchè ad importare i film c'è gente come chi scrive qui sotto, che non distingue un film giapponese da uno cinese o coreano. tanto mangiano riso e fanno kung fu.

  • ma quando esce?nn cé nessuna informazione a riguardo su internet..

  • di solito i giapponesi hanno sempre rovinato le loro creature cartacee trasformandole in film...Speriamo che questa volta abbiano fatto un buon lavoro xke shamo merita davvero molto!era meglio se ci metteva le mani qualche americano

  • I wonder why japanese do not make this movie. As they did so for NaNa.

  • bello...ma sicuri che passerà in europa?

  • hmmmm, what has happen to this movie???? There´s no website? or info about the flik.... only same old. director. . comic shamo... tell were i can see it!!!

  • i hope they dont make shawn yue do a lots of spinning & wired kungfu staff. should be as powerful, quick, simple & brutal as kyokushin.

  • watch Dog Bites Dog

    previous movie from the maker

    with Edison Chen there

    the fight are really brutal

    and no wire action

  • southpaw.  left hand.

  • Masato is Sugawara

    middleweight fighter for a heavyweight .. hmm :-s

  • There's so many shots similar from the manga, especially Sugawara... I'm interested.

  • godo godo godo godo godo!! mamma come godo!!sarà la solita schifezza giapponese come regia ma il solo vedere Narushima che ammazza tutti in video mi fomenta troppo!!!

  • rubbish

  • 00:31,Masato??

  • yes...i'm sure that!!!

  • Thanks alot for posting this. I've been trying to find a trailer for it. Looking forward to this coming out on DVD.. i'd imagine probably mid 2008 or something..

  • Wow. Looks pretty deadly!

  • The manga from Izou Hashimoto his great, and I am sure that it will be a good martial arts movie.

  • MisterEsh's comment is probably the worst kind of cliche you can find in the clueless folks trying to fake film literacy realm.

  • The manga is ridiculously bad ass and the trailer looks good to me. I can't wait to finally see it.

  • Almost every shot in that trailer is either flawed in some way, cliched, blah. I think I'll pass.

  • Por fin! a ver cuando podemos verla...

  • thanks so much for uploading this trailer !!!!!

  • Enfin !
