City Hunter

Certainly less wacky than the 1993 adaptation of the manga of the same name, but still very much over-the-top, the new City Hunter still plays up the womanizing of private investigator Ryo Saeba (Ryohei Suzuki) and his unlikely partnership with the younger sister (Misato Morita) of his dead partner (Masanobu Andô) who is determined to help him discover the reason behind her brother’s murder and the number of odd occurrences around the city which is traced back to a drug manufactured and tested in secret on the homeless including the cat girl and cosplayer (Asuka Hanamura) Ryo was hired to find.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #306

Despite his prominence on the cover, Snake Eyes doesn’t get a big role in G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #306. In fact we only get the Joe on a training course shooting some targets with an even shorter cameo from Scarlett.

City Hunter

Adapted from the manga of the same name, 1993’s City Hunter is an odd flick. Over-the-top, wacky, and more live-action cartoon than anything else, the closest comparison is probably 2010’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. In a film more notable for its comedy, fight sequences, and stunts than plot, Jackie Chan stars as private eye Ryo Saeba. The womanizing star hits on every woman he meets except for his former partner’s younger sister (Joey Wang), now his partner, who he swore never to pursue.
