The popular 1980s manga “City Hunter,” which was later adapted into an anime in 1987, is finally being released as a live-action adaptation. The upcoming Netflix series has just released its trailer, which matches the vibe of the original animated show.
This Japanese movie stars Tetta Sugimoto and Ayame Misaki as the lead pair and is directed by Yuichi Satoh. The action-packed trailer hits the comedic punches at the right spots, an iconic feature of City Hunter. Prior to this, there was a 1993 Jackie Chan movie that was also iconic in its own way.
The newly released trailer depicts Ryo Saeba, who is depicted as smitten with a woman while also working to clean the city by eliminating criminals. The funny theme takes a serious turn when Hideyuki, his best friend, is killed. Drenched in the blood of vengeance, Ryo must avenge his dead friend.
The trailer has the perfect blend of action, thrill, and comedy. It already has a crazy fanbase with its manga and anime. It has the potential to become an international phenomenon if marketed well. “City Hunter” is set to release on April 25th exclusively on Netflix. Let us know your thoughts on the trailer.
