THE WOLVERINE-2013-After saving the life
of a Japanese officer from the A-bomb in WW 2,
Logan aka Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is
living alone in a forest. When he gets into trouble at a local bar he
meets Yukio (Rila Fukushima) who says she wants to take Logan to
Japan so an old dying industrialist Yoshida (Haruhiko Yamanouchi),
the officer Logan saved can say goodbye to him. Once there Yoshida
offers to transfer Wolverine's “immortality to his body and let
Logan live a normal life span. After Yoshida dies there's a big shoot
up at his funeral and Yukio's granddaughter is kidnapped by The
Yakuza. Logan is shot several times but recovers and saves the
daughter. They go on the run which of course leads up to the
inevitable sex she has to have with the “far superior gaijin”.
Later a bunch of ninjas capture the granddaughter and a stupid white
woman kills her father (Hiroyuki Sanada). After Logan operates on
himself a super metallic robot shows up but do you really think it
would pose much of a threat to the powerful white westerner? Their
fight though kind of reminded me of THE AZTEC MUMMY VS. THE ROBOT! Of
course Yoshida, though thought dead is actually behind the whole
thing. I didn't expect the after credits appearances of Ian McKellan
and Patrick Stewart. Director James Mangold (GIRL,INTERRUPTED) later
made LOGAN also featuring the Wolverine character.
