Fist Of The North Star...

A while back, I picked up the VHS version of Fist Of The North Star...
Ken, the Fist of the North Star, is the chosen heir of this ancient martial arts technique, a school of fighting in which touching psychic pressure points can kill someone between five minutes and two days later. His world is a bleak one, devastated by a global nuclear war. Some survivors are struggling to rebuild their lives and create an orderly, peaceable society out of the chaos. Some are reveling in the anarchy of a ruined civilization and using their own strength to exploit the weak and helpless. Ken must fight, not only bands of marauders, but former friends and even his own brother Raoh as he tries to help those who cannot help themselves.
In Fist Of The North Star, there are buckets of blood and gore, but, in my opinion, the story is just a filler to span the gaps between the fight scenes. I gave Fist Of The North Star a 1 out of 5. I had Fist Of The North Star on subtitled VHS. In the aftermath of the Ultimate Otaku Fall Cleanup, I decided not to keep it in my archive.
