I heart Fist of the North Star! AKA Hokuto no Ken, This is one of the most kick arse anime made. To quote Wiki:
Fist of the North Star (北斗の拳, Hokuto no Ken?, lit. "Fist of the Big Dipper"'), also known as Ken, the Great Bear Fist, is a Japanese manga series that was originally serialized from 1983 to 1988 in the Japanese magazine Weekly Shonen Jump, created by Tetsuo Hara and Buronson. The manga spans 245 chapters that were originally reprinted in 27 collected volumes (tankōbon) under the Jump Comics imprint.
Set in a post apocalyptic world where the Earth is barren and the strong survive by preying on the weak, the series follows the journey of Kenshiro, the successor of Hokuto Shinken (北斗神拳, "Divine Fist of the North Star"),[1] a secret martial arts style that allows its practitioner to destroy an opponent's body from within by striking into their secret channeling points, often resulting in a violent and gruesome death. Kenshiro uses his skills to protect the weak and innocent against the numerous villains that threaten their survival.
Fist of the North Star was one of the Weekly Shonen Jump's most popular titles during the 1980's. As of 2007, it is the seventh best-selling Shonen Jump manga of all time in Japan.[2] In a poll conducted by TV Asahi in 2005, the Fist of the North Star anime series ranked 25 in a list of Top 100 Anime series.[3] In a second poll in 2006, it ranked No. 89.[4] In a celebrity version of the poll, it ranked No. 15.
The title Fist of the North Star is somewhat of a mistranslation of the Japanese original, as Hokuto refers not to the North Star Polaris, but to the Big Dipper asterism, which is known in Japan as Hokuto Shichisei (北斗七星, literally "Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper"). In Japan, the actual North Star is known as Hokkyokusei (北極星, "North Pole Star") or Tenteisei (天帝星, "Imperial Star"). In official English localization of the series, the term Hokuto is usually translated as "North Star" in an effort to maintain consistency with the title.

The Fist of the North Star movie made the Double dragon movie look good in comparison.
