  • This came out in 1995 on HBO. It was a good movie. Not bad for a strait to video.

  • resistance Hq .. wtf?

    I lolled

  • You know whats more stupid? That guy trying to pretend he watched original

  • The movie is not the worst, the french translation of the anime is (more funny also).

  • if you close your eyes, the hyakuretsu ken scene sounds like vigirous masturbation

  • What This movie is one of the best action movies ever made.

  • They ALMOST did the Hyakurestu Ken right ... fast hands, thunking of fingers on the leather.....until they did the face shot and puzzled look thing. should've just made it imply more impact

  • @fishy444

    I was born in 1978 so when I was 7 I started to watch this anime in (1985)... So again ANYONE from 1978-79-80 in Italy loves this anime

  • I thought the movie was alright. Could've been a lot better (it had some big shoes to fill), but it could've been worse. And it was either this, or Human Centipede when I watched it.

  • It was a good film

  • One of the worst movies I have ever seen... I was aspecting some special effects but it seems that toiletpaper was more important, I have seen the anime on tv sinds my early childhood. They made an anime not for nothing. They allready made a full anime movie about the series.. so no clue why and especially how they had the courage to put this movie on tv. This is a comedy about an awesome anime.

  • @TheWonderingMan

    however there now is a movie which really comes close to fotns: "adam chaplin".

    it's directly inspired by hokuto no ken and the fight scenes are absolutely amazing. including exploding heads and bodies

  • @Kuner1 Thank you.

  • Best part was when Jaggy says, "It ain't easy bein' sleezy." And the movie has mid level actors. Gary Daniels is actually an awesome fighter. For a funny scene check Jackie Chan's 'City Hunter' where Jackie plays Chun Li and Daniels play Ken.

  • oh man the movie looks horrible. actually making a live action movie on hokuto no ken was a bad idea from the start.

  • @saifrizwan To be quite honnest, Hokuto no ken shouldn't be hard to do it's just a martial art series whith special effects (there lot of drama too but you know what i mean). Though this movie is shit, they are at least closer to the original hokuto no ken than DBE is to the original DragonBall. I don't think making a live action movie of this series was a bad idea they just didn't exploit the potential right (like pretty much all american live action anime adaptation).

  • hmm do the guyver one

  • @HLK311 It's a close one. Dragon ball evolution is pretty darn horrible too haha

  • @shortdan5 haha true true

  • funny as hell i agree man worst movie ever even worse than dragon ball evolution

  • You could almost take anyone and pull off Kenshiro moves, why???, because no martial artist can do what he does. I'm not even talking about blowing up bodyparts via pressure points. His 60 kicks per minute, whirlwind flying kicks, punches that slowly lift the opponent off the ground, etc etc.

  • There is far too much suspension of disbelif in hokuto no ken. He is too much like superman without the cape. It works in anime because the whole world is skewed to the absurd. There are moving scenes in Hokuto, loss, friendship, brutality, but it is intermixed with ridiculous scenes, which is part of the whole hokuto ethos. martial arts vaulted into superhuman psuedo magical katas. Upshot, the movie would have to center around the power struggle between the brothers.

  • ....Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh... I can't do it... I've splitted myself in two with laughter !

  • lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why no subtitles for Clint Howard saying "Ooh, a baby!"?

  • To be quite honnest, the the thung of the movie act in a pretty similar as in the anime (laugting like idiot and enjoying what they do to the innoocent people) the real thing is that in hokuto no ken, they don't look threatening enought especialy the one at 4:18.

  • @SonicUnderground316 I 'd second that. The villains are stupid on the anime/manga too.

  • whats more messed up was that the guy who directed this movie wanted to make a live akira movie

  • Lmao, thank you Benzaie for warning us about terrible movies we didn't even know existed! XD

  • wow, that HUNDRED CRACK FIST had me laughing my ass off!!!! haha

  • @Zero8880 It was pretty epic..

  • As a martial arts action flick this movie was pretty good, I have never seen the cartoon so I have nothing to compare to.

  • Invisible dicks at 6:04. xDDD

  • David Tennant really doesn't like this movie

  • WTF @6:25 did he say chocolate skin??

  • I actually know Kenshiro since I was a kid, anyone from the 1977/78/79...(in Italy) knows and love this anime... I watched this suck ass movie 2 weeks ago and I was so excited (before seeing it) then as soon as I saw the main carachter's face I started to doubt it... At the beginning there is one of the thugs who is wearing red lipstick... And the (gay) blonde guy who gets killed by Chin???

  • @alex7829 How did you manage to watch an anime in 1979 in Italy that was based off a manga first published in 1982?

  • @superfishy444

    I was born in 1978, so when I was 7 (1985) I started to wach this legend...

  • hilarious

  • Haha, wow, great vid! You made me lmao, and I've never even heard of this anime! xP

  • YOU WA failed. :(

  • had no idea they made a live action version of the fist of the north star

  • if this guy wasnt really french this would be funny

  • oh wow that's Ron Howard's brother with the gun, wiki clint howard.

  • 4:45 dude is so funny. Especially in French.

  • i really liked this movie

    

  • 6:35 Who the fuck was responsible for this

  • stop trying to be funny and you might say something funny

  • euh , pourrais tu sous titres les vidéos en français ou en anglais s'il te plait? (toutes les vidéos ne sont pas sur ta chaine françaises ^^')

  • oh you, you silly french man

  • Comment removed

  • poor Leon... i mean Vader

  • LOL

    the guy looks like the german pornstar "conny dachs"

  • what's the song at 3:30?

  • the one hundred punch attack hey host you funny mate

  • As said before, anime in general is not meant to be live action. Its much to exaggerated in to many ways. Fist of the north star being the WORST anime to do in live action. Its hard enough not laughing in the anime at points but live action just looks ridiculously embarrassing. Keep anime.....animated....They already ruined dragonball, Fist of the north, street fighter and soon to come.....AKIRA....Yes akira is in production for live action...by Hollywood......

  • Anime is just not meant to be remade into live action movies. Seriously. They can take the concept and make something off of that but please don't fuck with our shit

  • @sejko I agree 100%

  • I came here thinking it was the other guy with the glasses the one that had a mock feud with James Rolfe aka "AVGN"

  • The brain of this guy is gon in hollyday i thing ......somone shut him in his big fucking munth ... plzzzzz

  • the actor move like ken, and is so similar. cast and locations are cool, the main problem is the script: the story sucks, it hasn't nothing to do with the originale series.

    with the same actors and sets a cool movie could be done, if director work better and if screenwriter totally change.

  • Machine girl ._.

  • lol i remember back in 95 i saw this on hbo saturday night premiere and was excited because i had just started watching the anime, but once i saw this i almost broke my television. Gary daniels is a great martial artist but this movie was far off of what it should have been. No Raoh, No Mamiya, No Toki? lol and jagi was called jackal lol horrible movie-watch the anime film, it rocks!!

  • 3:09 ridiculous! This film is an insult to Hokuto no Ken

  • I could maybe see this being redone now, problem is must be done in Japanese, nothing else is "kenshiro" enough. I think the outrageous effects that are easily done in Anime are harder to pull off even green screened, it would need a lot of post processing, should maybe be a cg movie instead. I actually liked the actor, but in all honesty Kenshiro is an homage to a Bruce Lee / Stallone hybrid. Kenshiro does almost no speaking, and the plot can only be a microcosm of the depth the anime is.

  • this movie is stupid for the whole time

  • Ma vafammokk a kitestramurt...!

  • The movie suck fucking balls.I bet no effort was used to make that movie.I mean they dont even know how to super speedy fist hand or use special effects to show power ups of ken instead the gay dance

  • Saw this as a teen, thought I was watching the best thing since the invention of the wheel.....so misguided I was.

  • How did you narrow it down to only 5?

  • Btw, I think that you should have complain on the casting of Ken. He's play by an White kickboxer. I know some of you might find what i'm about to say annoying but i believe that Kenshiro should have been play by some one that look like Bruce Lee (asian) and is an overall better fighter than Gary Daniels. After all, the universe of Hokuto no ken is heavly based on mad max but Ken himself is a clone/hommage to Lee. Sadly, this movie erase every single trace of Bruce influence (no "Atatata" 4 ex)

  • I agree 100% for the top 5 part but to be honnest, pretty much every adaptation movie are pointless. I don't think it's fair to say that because HNK is based on a movie it shouldn't be made since alot of comic book and video games are inspired by movie and litterature. I mean, usualy, every good idea come from somewhere. I personaly like the idea of turning comix into films. Unfortunatly, movie makers are usauly not fans of the original piece and do it for the money rather than for the art.

  • The actual movie was funny in a terrible way. This is just terrible in a terrible way.

  • the title explains it all, just show the clips with a count down we dont need some guy we dont care about explain it.

  • they could actualy watch the shows and reading the mangas before making those movies

  • everybody's a critic

  • The manga was absolutely superb and the anime was pretty good too, so when I saw "Fist of the North Star" late one night while flipping channels and I though I would check it out.

    Damaged psychologically, I immediately changed the channel and watched some shitty romantic comedy instead while attempting to piece together my shattered reality. Why the fuck do they rape the hell out of good things with shitty western live interpretations?

  • Dude is that movie is fucked up and even make the Northern Ken nes game cry.

  • JAJAJA TOTALLY AGREE JAJAJA

  • BT: Ryuken pssesed Lynn's body... and told to Kenshiro... THAT REVENGE IS BAD!!!! All manga and TV series are about the revenge and rage of Kenshiro!!!!!

  • Oh BTW, isn't Kenshiro Japanese?

  • This movie was worse than all the Street Fighter movies combine.

  • gr8 video mon ami, I laughed very loud at 3:30. Kudos and thumbs up! Also where is the (in)famous knuckle crunching or the mohawks on the bad guys? Seriously, wasn't there enough budget to make the villains look like anything they did in the anime?

  • I watched this movie, I took it VERY personal, I wish to kill the director...

    after Joel Shitmaker XD its like the director hated the movie

    and said HEY I WANNA MAKE IT REALISTIC cuz Kenshiro is too powerful ! >_>

    that was the damn point. I rather watch the Room

  • You are stupid white boy!

  • benzaie you are amazing at what you do keep doing what you do you are awsome

  • I agree the cartoon - 'Anime' NOT "Manga" was superior...

    ...BUT I still enjoyed the Gary Daniels live action version better than any art-house FRENCH film that my female companion forced me to watch with her.

  • Personally I think that the stupidest scene lasted about an hour and twenty minutes in this movie.

  • I'm watching this right now on showtime (strictly for nostalgia). It goes without saying that this movie did not do the anime justice, but they get an A for effort.

    (maybe a B-)

  • 3:30 lol the best part of the video

  • 6:40

    Wtf man?

  • I want one animated ken t-shirt

  • I starting laughing when he redid the morticycle part with the :) lol and 8D

  • i like this video :) hey and whats the tune you used when "kenshiro" was "powering up"

  • On the bright side, at least they didn't turn Ken into whiny a highschool Backstreet Boy. You know what I'm talking about.

  • @DarthJoshReturns nope i don't :)

  • this movie is equivalent to that Dragonball Live action movie

  • actor playing kenshiro actually named his son Kenshiro !

  • Am I the only one who recognized the Short Circuit 2 theme song at the beginning of this video?

  • Number four was basically how the anime was with every minor villain, as well as most major ones.

    Also, I swear I saw that costume from number one at least once in the anime.

  • 3:30 music?

  • Hilarious. Adds some comic relief to a terrible throwaway fighting movie.

  • That movie is horrible! and that's putting it mildly!!!

  • omfg this is the worst movie ever made D:

  • By the way did you know the the laughing killer biker is the brother of Ron Howard :-)

  • Fuu, they hella ruined the 100punch, lol.

  • 2:30

    I'll do it.

    OF COURSE!

  • Wow I'm so glad I watched this so I didn't waste my time on the movie itself. Hilarious video.

  • Shit video, uploader is a dildo

  • @AssManV2

    I know, right?

  • I haven't seen a live-action movie based off an anime this bad since dragonball evolution. DAAAAAAMN

  • @Pyrosage77 This movie PREDATES Dragonball Evolution. But I know, its aweful....

  • @Pyrosage77 you forgot Super Mario The Movie

  • Damn that movie sucks!!

  • hmmm so an attention getter posting on a stupid video...Oh well who cares it was my boyfriend that posted on my account about that douche bag anyway..

  • Learn English.

  • Nice Kenshiro shirt you got there.

  • Goddamit benzaie, you can't just show SOME of the opening theme. :c

  • Want to see Gary Daniels in a better Anime / Manga movie? Watch Jackie Chan's City Hunter. It is not true to the original but me & my family loved. It's hilarious w/ cool fighting scenes (of course Jackie is here).

    Fortunately, I watched the Fist of the North Star anime than this live action junk.

  • 3:30  is my f4ve . kenshiros unbe4tible d4nce moves

  • im gonna go around my house wearin chest pepperonis

  • @SHlNOBl3 Seriously. This should be the top comment.

  • @IniquityAndMalice

    lmao everyone knows ur not cool til you have them

  • @SHlNOBl3 But there has to be seven of them. And in the shape of the Big Dipper. You'll be stylin' and profilin'!

  • To those asking about the song at 3:30, it's Yelle - A Cause Des Garcons.

  • @LucaviAD are you tellin that to the million other crappy uploaders

  • What's that song at 3:30? I dig this! :D

  • @LucaviAD are you part of the 17 who didn't like it ? Should I care out of 27 146 views ?

  • @LucaviAD U MAD BRO ? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only YT channel out there ! Go watch something else !

  • @benzaie GO BENZAIE

  • @LucaviAD BTW

    how the fuck is it violating copyright laws,

    sections 107 to (forgot) basically say that he can use this footage if it's a review,rant,remix and such.

    So basically this is 100% legal.

  • @LucaviAD You are already MAD.

  • @iteecyl

    I ain't even mad b/c I'm styling on this french fag & you LOLcows.

  • @LucaviAD Quit trolling these faggots. You know it's not nice since almost all of them are down syndrome and they can't help being retarded.

  • @LucaviAD

    Actually you're a douche for using the phrase "douche nozzle". It's not cool when Cliffy B does it, and anyone else fails even harder

  • @Mara2Wild

    No one cares.

  • @Mara2Wild

    Now go back to your tree, banana bandit.

  • @LucaviAD  Banana Bandit? ok

  • @LucaviAD i think its a great video... and he shared same thought as us...

  • @1977hero No one cares.

  • Y U NO ATATATATATATATA!?

  • were those peperoni on his chest -_-

  • Lol he admits he's been fucked in the ass.

  • earth wa shock!!!

  • Everyone here is too serious about their movies.

  • Its sucks worst than db revolution,worst than anything I can think of!!!!!!!!It sucks over nine(freaking)thousand!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • @MJohndbz Sorry I meant evolution.

  • Its not worst than db evolution since Daniels was a real martial artist its just that the script was awfull otherwise his fights are not fake like that CGI stuff.

  • @Crisshomes1 True.But I am not talking about the actor since he clearly knows martial arts.I am talking about the movie in general which sucked worse than db evolution mainly for the reason you sugested and the lack of special effects.The fact that this movie downgraded the actors abilities is anfortunate indead.(and so is my speling)

  • i'm 25.000 viewer!

    a..anf the movie sucks D:

  • I wa shock

  • That clip with Clint Howard as goon going nuts and happily shooting ppl was already hilarious enough, but combining it with :) and :D ... Genius!! ^^

  • i'm crying. somebody give me a hug now, please, i beg of you.

  • You might as well watch Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior that would probably be more faithful since FOTNS was based off it hehe

  • 4:21

    Clint Howard?!?

    How much did they pay you!

  • In Italy a group of ken's fans had make a version of this "movie" with new dialogs. It's absolutely DEMENTIAL, but is A LOT better than this.

  • At least this movie, had more fight scenes than that, Dragonball Evolution movie.

  • @team5zgen That film was... it doesn't deserve to have Dragonball in front of it.

  • they should just redo this movie. take this movie serious honestly. this is a Japanese classic anime!!!!

  • I would've understood if they just copied everything on the anime and just had it set in the movie... but man they screwed up big time and annoyed me greatly with that dancing thing!

  • Weren't those bad guys are not supposed to have guns and stuff?

    My comment:

    Hokuto no Ken is the manliest anime if not one of the manliest anime ever made.

    not the gayest! the movie's a total gayshit it's a bullcrap and everybody here can see that.

  • Never again ...... period

  • Costas Mandelore (not sure if spelled right)? That guy who played Hoffman in the Saw movies? Of course they would have a horrible actor for a main villain.

  • The movie's already dead before the production began.

  • No wonder Kenshiro is always so mad in anime. I would be piss off too if somebody would make me a bullshit move.

  • You need to work on enunciation and, more important to the style of your writing, proper intonation. Your accent is totally fine and not the issue: A lot of your humor falls flat because you're not delivering it well and it comes off rather monotonous (which would work for some material, e.g. cold, dry humor), but not what you're doing here.
