Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Originally entitled Magnum of Love's Destiny, this 1989 theatrical feature is a favorite with City Hunter fans because it offers a rare glimpse of the affection that underlies the tumultuous relationship between longtime partners Ryo Saeba and Kaori. The over-the-top story centers on pianist Nina Shutenberg, who's at the center of an international intrigue. Assigned to guard her, Ryo finds himself caught in a web of spies, explosions, and family tragedies. As usual, Ryo alternates between groping every female in sight and demonstrating his deadly marksmanship. Whenever his lechery threatens to go too far, Kaori clobbers Ryo with one of her outsized sledge hammers. In short, Magnum delivers exactly what City Hunter fans want and expect. "One Cool Sweeper! XYZ Is a Dangerous Cocktail," an episode from the long-running broadcast series, is included as a bonus. (Rated 15 and older: violence, sexual humor, brief nudity, minor profanity) --Charles Solomon
Description
A beautiful pianist comes to Tokyo for a charity concert, and City Hunter is there. But music isn't his forte-Joe wants lessons in the language of love. Typically, though, things don't go his way. A foreign dignitary is assassinated in cold blood; secret agents scour the streets for a missing microchip; and diplomatic infighting swirls around the upcoming concert-until Nina the pianist and her grandfather Klaus are kidnapped. The City Hunter's intrepid assistant Kaori does her best to save them, trying to pull a helicopter from the sky with her bare hands! But City Hunter is the only hope- IF he can stop thinking about love long enough to blast his way into a special forces stronghold! A maelstrom of exploding grenades, the rumble of Falcon's jeep, and the tinkling of the ivories all set the stage for City Hunter: 357 Magnum. The show must go on!

1 out of 5 stars good movie.......2005-11-23

i bought this movie for $4.99 and it was a good deal because its a good movie.the european accents that some of the characters have are cheesy but the humor and the action make up for that. i recomend you buy it but if u want at a cheaper price do some searching, u can find these movies in the least expected place.

5 out of 5 stars what a blinder..........2004-08-31

This is a must have for anime fans if you are into smart gunfights, and easily charm by beautiful women then I highly recommend this title. It has everything including humour, unforgettalbe music, and very funny in parts.

5 out of 5 stars A GREAT OLD SCHOOL FUNNY ANIME.......2001-12-05

City Hunter is one of the 1st anime I ever watched, and something about the silly sex humor and gun battles always caught my eye. I'll be honest, its an older anime so it's not the best animation nor are a lot of the topics current (again, because of the age). But it is BY GOD FUNNY! Especially the subtitled version of .357 Magnum. I think its worth a buy especially if you just want to laugh your head off. City Hunter is made for those who wanna watch an anime to laugh and laugh hard. I know I did. I think it's worth it and then some.

4 out of 5 stars Good overall, lacking by City Hunter standards.......2001-06-20

.357 Magnum is a very good movie, but those familiar with the other City Hunter movies will notice that this one's a bit lacking. The plot tends to drag very often, more than the Motion Picture, lacking the constant action and excitement that City Hunter usually provides. There's still some humor which is handled pretty well in the dub, and an awesome final raid scene. City Hunter: .357 is still worthy of a purchase, but it's not the best one.
