Product Description
Product Description
Mars. Days before Halloween 2071. Villains blow up a tanker truck on Highway One, releasing a deadly virus that kills hundreds. Fearing a bigger, even more devastating biochemical attack, an astronomical reward is offered for the arrest and capture of the person behind the destruction. On the spaceship "Bebop," Spike Spiegel and his crew of bounty hunters (Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein) are bored and short of cash. But with the news of the reward everything changes. Based on the wildlypopular TV series, "Cowboy Bebop," the big screen smash COWBOY BEBOP: THE MOVIE pits Spike and Co. against their deadliest adversary ever. Featuring stunning, state-of-the-art animation, this action-packed sci-fi adventure builds to a breath-taking, nail-biting climax, guaranteed to keep you hanging on the edge of your seat.
Set Contains:
As special editions go, this Cowboy Bebop DVD isn't that loaded. The bulk of the extras are six featurettes--about 35 minutes of material--consisting of interviews with the key talents including creator Shinichiro Watanabe and the vocal talent (both Japanese and American). Because the Bebop DVD series was void of any design extras, fans should eat up the 100 or so production drawings and a dandy storyboard presentation. Listed as "music videos," the two songs are essentially clean opening and closing animation cuts (without credits). Fans will also appreciate that the film is presented in both original Japanese language and English in Dolby 5.1. The film lost its subtitle, "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," from its American theatrical run for the DVD. --Doug Thomas

I also want to confirm to bring up the english audio for it you really just have to play the movie and bring up the menu on the controller pressing “B”, then scroll over to the “…” then navigate to the audio logo. From there you press “A” to cycle through to “English” and thats it. That menu will go away from the screen after a few seconds ago and you can enjoy your movie!
Currently watching it and I’ve been looking forward to this movie, I wouldn’t have bought it without the other reviews saying what I repeated above.

Currently watching it and I’ve been looking forward to this movie, I wouldn’t have bought it without the other reviews saying what I repeated above.
The movie, however, does that to an extreme degree. The main villain (it's been a minute so I don't remember his name) is interesting. He has an intriguing motive and personality, though you never fully understand why he's doing it. You don't even really learn much of where he came from. Even the villains of the week from the series got a history. This guy? Not so much. They gave him this interesting characterization and its execution just kind of falls flat for me. He's a bit like Vicious, but it just doesn't work.
The Bebop crew isn't the most well-done either. The way they act in the movie and the way they act in the series just doesn't correspond well, and some of their actions don't really make sense. Spike in particular seems a bit out of character. If the movie was more interesting, this wouldn't be a problem. It just gets so boring though. Things happen but there's not enough to really hold the whole thing together. There's long-winded conversations between characters that hardly push the plot and they aren't even all that memorable. It's not all bad though.
The animation, fight scenes in particular, has improved. I think they're well done and showcase the action just fine. The final fight between Spike and the villain is one of the best I've seen, even compared to the series. I found that I enjoyed the music as well, though I still prefer the stuff from the series. That's just not enough to warrant a full five stars though. I'm probably being nice with four, but I really did enjoy watching it, however dull some of it was.
I just watched it for the first time in years and right in the middle, just before the amazing sequence on the elevated train, I realized that this is my favorite action movie bar none. Animated or otherwise. This is why I don't go to Mission Impossible movie or the like, because this amazing movie gave me all I ever needed.
Just look at the opening credit sequence. What you're seeing is a simple, straightforward portrait of humanity, all done in black and white. The movie takes place on a huge, walled in, terraformed city on Mars, in an age when earth has become a wasteland. Unlike other visionary science fiction movies such as Blade Runner or Brazil, the movie doesn't put us in the middle of a world we've never seen before, but rather into a world where we're supposed to recognize everything. There are reproductions of dozens of great monuments featured, ever crowd scene is a picture of diversity reflecting not only attention to skin tones and facial morphology, but to pop culture trends and symbolism from all the continents.
This movie stands just fine on its own, but it does fit into the context of a series which is every bit as important and fascinating. I was so proud when I discovered that you could tell exactly where the movie fits into the tv show's chronology by the fact that (spoiler alert) by the end of the film the button from Faye's top is missing, and in all the later shows of the series she just ties the two sides of the top together.
This movie succeeds in so many ways. The art is astounding. It should win awards alone for the sequences shot on Morocco Street. If you've watched a lot of anime, you'll realize that the writing, both in the original Japanese and the English subtitles and audio stream are absolutely top notch, and let us not forget the music. Every time I watch the planes taking off to the song "What planet are you from?"
Aficionados of anime may be tempted to think that the animation here is on a tier below, say, Hayao Miyazaki, and certainly the style is different, simpler, in some ways more conventional, and also clearly shot on a much lower budget than Miyazaki has had available to him in the past decades. But just look at the attention to line, the humanity of the crowd scenes, the rich hazy color of the backgrounds, and the attention to detail (note the way the shadow on Spike's cheek ripples during the chase scene with the cops, to indicate the high g-forces—simply astounding) you will realize that this movie stands alongside classics like Spirited Away and Akira at a level of excellence where comparison becomes petty.
I believe every aspiring animator and action movie director should watch this movie.

The case is nothing special. Holds the disc and has nice artwork, can't ask for much else.
There are a lot of extras on the disc. Details that go into each character as well different objects (e.g. the different space ships).
This is the best the series has ever looked and is a must buy if the like the show.
