{"product_id":"blac-jack-dvd","title":"Black Jack: A Surgeon With the Hands of God - DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the shadowy underbelly of modern medicine, an unlicensed, renegade medical genius known only as Black Jack operates on patients written off by the mainstream medical establishment. Armed with unparalleled surgical precision and a deeply scarred visage, he commands astronomical fees to cure the hopeless and dying. When a mysterious epidemic strikes a sudden influx of athletic and artistic \"Superhumans,\" the global community watches in awe. However, behind this genetic miracle lies a horrifying conspiracy involving a designer super-drug and a lethal virus. Alongside his fiercely loyal companion Pinoko, Black Jack must push the absolute boundaries of medical science to dismantle the corporate conspiracy before the pathogen threatens the survival of human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on the legendary manga series by Osamu Tezuka, the \"God of Manga,\" \u003cem\u003eBlack Jack: The Movie\u003c\/em\u003e (released in North America as \u003cem\u003eBlack Jack: A Surgeon With the Hands of God\u003c\/em\u003e) is a dark, cinematic thrill ride. Directed by the revered anime auteur Osamu Dezaki (\u003cem\u003eGolgo 13\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSpace Adventure Cobra\u003c\/em\u003e), the feature film swaps standard superheroics for a mature, highly atmospheric medical thriller. Dezaki’s signature visual flair, including dramatic pastel \"postcard memories\" and sharp split-screens, perfectly captures the moral ambiguity and existential weight of Tezuka's original vision. Released on DVD by Manga Entertainment (via Palm Pictures), this classic presentation delivers the complete feature length movie with pulse-pounding, realistic surgical suspense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Osamu Dezaki (\u003cem\u003eThe Rose of Versailles\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLupin III\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Creator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Osamu Tezuka (\u003cem\u003eAstro Boy\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eKimba the White Lion\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tezuka Productions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMusic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eiji Kawamura (\u003cem\u003eKamen Rider Black\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCast:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAkio Otsuka \/ Kirk Thornton\u003c\/strong\u003e as Black Jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYuko Mizutani \/ Debi Derryberry\u003c\/strong\u003e as Pinoko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMegumi Hayashibara \/ Mary Elizabeth McGlynn\u003c\/strong\u003e as Jo Carol Brain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKinryu Arimoto \/ Michael Forest\u003c\/strong\u003e as Dr. David Brain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAkio Nojima \/ Jamieson Price\u003c\/strong\u003e as Dr. Kiriko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDVD Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-Language Presentation (English Dub \u0026amp; Original Japanese Audio)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish Subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Theatrical Trailers \u0026amp; Previews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini Art Booklet \/ Liner Notes Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractive Menus \u0026amp; Scene Selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/strong\u003e ブラック・ジャック (Black Jack: The Movie)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~105 Minutes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Osamu Dezaki\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDVD Release Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2001 (Manga Entertainment \/ Palm Pictures Release)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Release Date (Japan):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manga Entertainment \/ Palm Pictures \/ Anchor Bay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 660200401825\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unrated \/ PG-13 (Contains Graphic Surgical Violence, Intense Themes, and Nudity)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Region 1 (U.S. \/ Canada)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drama, Medical Thriller, Sci-Fi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThemes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medical Ethics, Corporate Conspiracy, Rogue Doctor, Superhumans\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMedia assumed VG+ unless otherwise noted.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Funimation","offers":[{"title":"VG+","offer_id":42789132206165,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/BA7DA7E0-6572-4099-B939-8B254D866863.jpg?v=1785205540","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/blac-jack-dvd","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
