Fist of the North Star 1. Just Awful. I cant even bring myself to write much about this gem but to say it was just awful. Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. There was a point while watching that I thought is this a joke I concluded that this was no joke. The acting was as bad as the writing and the effects were just terrible. The lead character who could not act to save his life had what were supposed to be scars, they looked like condoms stuck to his body, some of which seemed to be peeling offHow much did Malcolm Mc. Dowell need a paycheck to show up even for the 3 minutes he was on screen Or Chris Penn who was probably the only half way believable character, even in the outlandish costume he was forced to wear This film is a complete mess so I would say, unless you want to watch one of the worse movies ever made.
