| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Okay I know that this movie was made in 83 and had horrendous CGI...but that was a pretty damn good movie. |
 |
| Really stylish movie. I loved the soundtrack. |
| God damn, this was so fucking cool. The CGI helicopter was really dated, but other than that, the movie had a ton of style and really great visual directing. The soundtrack was also awesome, sounding just like you'd expect from a cool 80's action flick. |

| The soundtrack was also awesome nothing else worth mentioning |
 |
| It was a decent movie expect that CGI helicopter scene. |
| Lol, that guy hired Golgo to kill him, but he shouldn't have done it in front of his daughter and wife. |
 |
| Wow, I didn't expect this to be so awesome - a new favorite. Sound, character design, set design, color, story, direction was all top notch. Golgo was super likable. I didn't expect to say that, but he has honor and an element of morality perhaps? The dad was terrible of course. The son was tragic. That snake guy was super creepy. I felt so bad for Rita. Damn. |
| I honestly didn't see any issues with the cgi helicopter scene. It looks more realistic than anything I've ever seen. |
 |
| Damn this was hardboiled af. |
| Was kinda luke warm on this, I liked the OVA better. |
   |
| The CG opening sequence may be the worst looking garbage I've ever seen in anime. Also the plot was retarded - the CIA and Pentagon can't kill him, so while I wait for the two most dangerous assassins and some rapey snake guy to kill him, why not try a 5 year old? |

| Stunning art direction thanks to Osamu Dezaki & Shichiro Kobayashi, but feels extremely dated and basic plot wise tbh. Low 7/10. |
| Apparently putting a grenade in someone's mouth leaves the head intact. The aesthetics of the movie though...just wow. Every frame is so cool. Some shots of Dawson's HQ resemble Gendo's office in Eva (except that it came a lot later). And without even knowing it I apparently watched the first (or one of?) anime to use CGI (which wasn't very fitting - judging by how other scenes were handled, the helicopters could've perfectly be hand-drawn). Well, there were also those skeletons. Despite the plot being "generic", the execution was just top notch. Would've been nicer without Snake, Gold and Silver having borderline superhuman abilities (and strange screams/aesthetics). A bit of subversion of the genre tropes would've been welcome too. Still, none are major complaints. That ending though... P.S. the shape of the pool at the beginning was just perfect |

| The only thing that you need to know about Golgo 13 is that he wears his sun glasses at night. He is that cool .... Excellent hard boiled movie with some extreme battles. My favorite was the last bad guy bouncing on the pavement. Just remember to wear your sunglasses at night if you want to be like Golgo 13. 7/10  |
 |
| Really excellent action scenes, classic 80s anime with excellent soundtrack. The CGI was kind of funny though lmao but its amazing given it's from the 80s |
| Golgo 13: The Professional. Hmmm.... he was very relentlessly professional indeed no other words about it. Had meek storyline, so they had no choice than take freedom of seinen steamy scenes, plethora of titty shots, including the formulaic r**e scene as well. But, the only thing which was good is the OST. An overall 6/10 anime. (4 for story and 2 for OST). The only saving grace is OST and Toga Duke. Remaining everything are worth to be sent to hell. |
 |
| That was very old school Hollywood lol, cool little twist at the end with Dawson's son hiring Golgo 13 himself. Looks like the ran out of budget in the last 10 or so minutes though, that helicopter scene was the probably the worst animated scene I've laid eyes on. 7/10, was pretty nonsensical and fun. |
| Heavy plot armour and to many sex scene, hmmm this anime not for me to ridiculous |
| Stylish and has a great soundtrack. It's a classic, but man it is such a product of its time. Sonny Chiba was a great pick in the live adaption, although the movies weren't that good. |

| Assassination. He is unknown. Crazy Intro. Assassination. He does nothing. He chose gods path but this ha cannot forgive. That’s crazy. The Sicilian mafia. Someday he will tell him how he got them. She will handle him. She knows about him. A telephone inside the safe. He is gone. He is back. She is doctor z. Assassination. They break down the whole church in search of his destruction. The clocksmith is found. A clockmasters rotational death. Snake. San Francisco. She wants him as payment. His target is one of those. He shows up at the eliminated possibility. Assassination through another building. A rainbow tunnel of lights. Shot. Skipped past that. Even he is spooked. Far too smart to be this stupid. Gold and silver. He can shut down the economy of America tomorrow. If he has to blow up a city or two in the process, he will. Ew. He punches the picture frame. Not assassined. His castle is his skyscraper building. New York. Snake is up first. 3d in 83. The helicopter is responsible. He gets them both for now. And they are back. He wins. He assassinated himself. And assassination. She shoots. Messed up and gross but it looked okay at times. 6 |
