ok.... let me put this into perspective...... this ORIGINALLY came out in 1986. FOR IT'S RELEASE TIME.... you had a great story in a post nuclear world! the only thing close to this WAS Mad Max. you had the bad guys you HAD to hate, but they were such bad guys, you liked them as characters & the roles they played. Kung Fu movies were the only thing that was showin' martial arts back then & here was a 'cartoon' that exploited not only martial arts, but different styles that attacked pressure points only & killed you!!
in '86.... that was highly impressive & revolutionary for an animated story. for you to look at it now, you'd see it as 'corny' with 'over-rated' dialogue. as an enthusiast, your approach to watchin' THIS title... you have to be able to transport yourself back in order to appreciate the values on this story & it's innovation of the time. only then, will you fully see "Fist of the North Star" for the classic it has become.
