Successful adaptation

Really enjoyed this movie and would watch it again on DVD/BluRay. I was quite impressed with the quality of the action scenes (for a French comedy). Looks like the director enjoyed making this movie, which shows care, attention to detail as well as faithfulness to the original anime City Hunter. I remember reading that creator Tsukasa Hojo himself enjoyed the screenplay for Lacheau's film, therefore giving the project 'added value' (particularly for the fans of the series who might have had doubts about this adaptation). The balance gags/action/storytelling is good, the casting works well too. A good job overall, considering that mangas/animes are particularly tricky to develop into convincing live-action movies. Now hoping for a sequel!

Best adaptation ever!!

Indeed, this is not the best movie if you compare to all movie in the world, but if you reduce the scope to focus only adaptation movie, this one is the best. Alright, the storyline may not so impressive but it is not a big deal. The most impressive thing is you will know the characters who is their immediately without confusing even their are not looking same and even you are not City Hunter fan.

Better than The Asian Version

Comparing to the Jacky Chan's version back in 90's and the Lee Min Ho's version in 00's this movie is lot closer to the cartoon/comic version. The Jacky Chan's version is using too much kungfu. Ryo is good in fighting but he is using guns better. As for the Lee Min Ho's version is too serious. Much much too serious. I think the Lee Min Ho's is the worst adaption of the City Hunter. I don't know why Tsukasa Hojo approve it.

Trivia
"City Hunter" creator Tsukasa Hôjô had been refusing several offers to adapt his work over the years, because most of the time these works were simple action stories. However, when he met Philippe Lacheau he was impressed with the prepared screenplay: "In Philippe's scenario, there was everything: drama, laughter, things a bit naughty. He had taken into account the totality of the work."
