Gunsmith Cats...
Years ago, I picked up the VHS version of Gunsmith Cats...
There are no naughty bits. There is a certain amount of bloodshed and violence, particularly once Radinov shows up. But, even with all the gun play, the gore is fairly subdued. The making of documentary is almost as long as the first part itself. I used to have all 3 parts on subtitled VHS and enjoyed Gunsmith Cats so much that I repurchased it on DVD. I gave Gunsmith Cats a 4 out of 5.
From the designer behind Bubblegum Crisis comes Gunsmith Cats, a stylish tale of two women, lots of guns, and a heap of bodies. According to the documentary, the animators wanted to achieve the look and feel of a '70s era TV cop show. They even went to the U.S. to research the look of the show and even got a chance to see some guns courtesy of the local police. I think they went mostly to shoot real guns, but, the animators' attention to detail shows in the finished product. The cars, the guns and the street scenes are all beautifully animated.Volume 1
From the golden pen of Kenichi Sonada (Bubblegum Crisis, Riding Bean) and hot from the pages of the best-selling comic book from Dark Horse comes the wildest action heroine to ever stalk the streets of Chicago! She's tall, she's dark, she's Rally Vincent, the professional bounty hunter and gun expert extraordinaire who brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "pistol-packin' mama"! Rally doesn't just pack her own teflon-coated, armor piercing cartridges, she's packed her dynamic debut video as well, with the highest velocity, high-caliber animation entertainment spectacular of 1996, Gunsmith Cats, and it's comin' at ya in February from A.D. Vision! Together with her street-wise, grenade-happy partner, the luscious Minnie-May, Rally's going to clean the scum from the streets of the Windy City with a few quick flicks on the trigger of her trusty pump-action sidearm... for a price, of course!
Volume 2
Rally and Minnie May are back and this time they're burning up the road! When gun runner James Washington claims his life is in danger and makes a desperate plea for help, the girls are disinclined to listen to him. However, when Washington and a whole host of agents are gunned down inside an ATF safehouse mere minutes after the girls leave, Rally is forced to go looking for the killer. Then, when May is kidnapped by a psychotic Russian, the chase is on and traffic in the Chicago area may never recover!
Volume 3
The Cats are back and Rally proves that her intuition is something to be respected. The ATF case is far from over when Radinov, a true femme fatale, reappears and is out for blood, of the feline sort. Add a handful of surprisingly high-placed gun runners who are after their coats as well and Rally and Minnie May are going to need every one of their nine lives just to make it through the day! Don't miss the exciting, action-packed conclusion of Gunsmith Cats!
