Are you talking about a live action made in Japan and then exported to the US? Why the hell would you want to watch live action made in Japan?

There is no legitimate US release of the Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Film at the moment.

Correct. Though the way Director Keishi Ohtomo and co. have been wording things lately hints that it's not too far off. Especially since movies 2, and 3 (conclusion) have happened now this summer.

Anti-Meta, the Japanese made Rurouni Kenshin movie not Hollywood.

I live in Japan so I got to see the movies in theaters.

I wasn't too fond of the first movie (it criminally under utilizes Sano, my 4th favorite character behind Hiko, Shishio and Saito), but the second movie was AWESOME. They got Cho and Sojiro 100%!!! Shishio is also pretty sweet as well in the second movie. I believe the first movie was in select theaters in America. The third movie comes out Sept 13. The second movie came out two weeks ago. Also, Watsuki-sensei admitted he likes the live action movies which is also cool. The action is excellently choreographed without getting too gimmicky or over the top.

Nothing from the US that I know of, but the films were licensed by an Australian company (Madman Entertainment) so you can always import those when they come out for an official English version, if the US doesn't get them. You'd need to be able to play other region's DVDs though, which is fairly simple to do with the right computer software or a region-free DVD player.

I saw the first one and I really liked it. Good story (even if it's a bit of a mish mash of two story arcs), it was visually stunning, and great choreography for the fights. It's definitely not like the tripe you usually get from a live action anime adaptation. I'm really looking forward to the other 2 films.
