Customer Reviews of City Hunter - The Motion Picture
Great movie for City Hunter fans ... The Jackie Chan movie was inspired by the anime/manga City Hunter, not the other way around. The anime TV series of City Hunter were out in Japan long before the Jackie Chan was made in Hong Kong. That said, this is a great movie with a good story that adds to the original TV series and stands well on its own. Funny and loads of actions, just like all the other City Hunters.
Funny stuff, not much action, though
If you like Anime but never watched any "City Hunter" Videos, this would be a good one to start with. It passes itself off as an action flick at first, but its way more comical, with wacky slapstick humor between Joe and his female sidekick. Joe is quite possibly the funniest heroes I've ever seen, and some of the things he does in the film are so brash, they're hilarious!
Essesntially the story is about Joe and his friends trying to stop a madman called The Professor from blowing up Tokyo, but the more memorable parts of the film involve Joe and women...they're too funny to mention without actually spoinilg the best parts of the movie. The action sequences aren't that great, although the climax is kinda cool...If you're a woman though, since a lot of the humor involve Joe's womanizing perverted ways, you may not think it's funny at all.
Slow-paced but still great
The characters' names were changed in the English series, which is annoying to some purists, but other than that, City Hunter is a good movie. Surprisingly, the dub is great, save for the scratchy voice of Kaori. Ryo, who is City Hunter, was renamed Joe. His English voice is excellent, but it's hard to surpass that of the original voice actor Akira Kamiya, who played Kenshiro in the Hokuto No Ken (Fist of the North Star) TV Series. Joe himself acts like a demented pervert any time he sees a woman. But when saving lives are involved, he suddenly snaps and becomes serious and dramatic, which is really just odd. The movie full of perverted humor and a bit of mystery, but unfortunately suffers from being a little slow-paced. There is surprisingly little action, but the final fight scene with the Professor almost makes up for everything. The soundtrack is great, but its best song is reserved for this one fight. Definitely see this great movie.
