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 space ship "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 wildly popular 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.DVD FeaturesThe Making of Cowboy Bebop: 6 Behind-the-Scenes featurettesMusic video for "Ask DNA" and "Gotta Knock a Little Harder"Conceptual Art GalleriesStoryboard ComparisonsIn-Depth Character ProfilesWidescreen PresentationDigitally Mastered Audio & Anamorphic VideoAudio: Original Japanese Theatrical Version and English 5.1 (Dolby Digital) FrenchSubtitles: English FrenchTheatrical TrailersAnimated MenusSystem Requirements:Running Time 114 MinsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating: R UPC: 043396090552 Manufacturer No: 09055

As the eagerly awaited Cowboy Bebop feature film reunites the original director, screenwriter, composer, and vocal cast, it's not surprising that the film plays like an expanded TV episode. What should be the routine capture of a two-bit hacker by Faye escalates into a deadly game of cat and mouse, as Spike and the gang struggle to prevent the evil Vincent Volaju from murdering every human on Mars. Director Shinichiro Watanabe handles the action sequences with his usual panache. Inside the sinister Cherious Medical research facility, Spike fights a beautiful agent, using a push broom in a series of maneuvers Jackie Chan might envy. The climactic duel between Spike and Vincent plays against innocent yet eerie images of a Halloween carnival, recalling the amusement park setting of episode 20, "Pierrot Le Fou." Knockin' on Heaven's Door will delight fans of the series and provide an excellent introduction for the uninitiated who want to know why Cowboy Bebop is so popular on both sides of the Pacific. (Rated R: violence, brief nudity, minor profanity, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
