Story

The Fist of the North Star and South Cross are two of the strongest forces. Lord Shin betrays Ken, and kidnaps his wife. Ken barely survives and trains hard to find her back again and fight Shin once more.

To do that, he must travel through a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of warriors, thieves, thugs and mutants.
My thoughts

The actors did their best, especially McDowell and Mandylor, but all of them were a bad choice. It is difficult to make anime into live action. The action was great, but the camerawork and editing sucked. There was a lot of potential, but they didn't use it. They should have shown more of the many great stuntmen. Too bad. They missed a great chance.
