An animated [[feature film]] version of ''Fist of the North Star'' was produced by [[Toei Animation]], which premiered in Japan on [[March 8]], [[1986]].(<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142371 |title=Hokuto no ken (1986) |publisher=Imdb.com |date= |accessdate=2008-09-14}}</ref>) The movie was intended to be a big-screen treatment of the manga, and avoid the watering-down of violence that came with the TV series. An English-dubbed version produced by [[Streamline Pictures]] was first released in 1991 in the USA and 1994 in the UK and Australia by [[Manga Entertainment]]. A New Zealand release was never scheduled by Manga Entertainment so it never had an official release there.
