Awesome / City Hunter: The Cupid's Perfume

Go To

  • Ryo is mostly his goofy and Chivalrous Pervert self during the first minutes of the movie. But when Umibozu comes in, steals the perfume and flees on a motorcycle, Ryo takes out his iconic Colt Python .357 Magnum and shoots. The camera actually follows the bullet, revealing that it is engraved with City Hunter, up until the bullets hits the mark and makes Umibozu crash.
  • The scrapyard fight. Chained to a giant magnet, Ryo distracts the Teope goons and frees himself, using the magnet to his advantage to disarm them all before kicking their asses, in P.O.V. Cam. The sequence even ends with Ryo deactivating the magnet, grabbing a falling gun and shooting at a fleeing car to make it crash. You can see it here.
    • At the second FOOTSTEPS begins, you know the goons are screwed!
  • When Kaori is taken hostage, Ryo gets dead serious. He ransacks a weapon store and infiltrates the factory in which Kaori is imprisoned, knocking down all the guards on his path with the ease of a professional killer.
  • The climactic gun fight against the Teope Union fully demonstrates how deadly Ryo is. Armed with several guns and many bullets, he and Kaori make short work of the gangsters that surround them. Highlights of the gunfight include Ryo's cheek getting grazed by a bullet, only the unfazed sweeper to shoot his would be killer immediately, Ryo casually dodging a knife aimed at his throat and proceed to beat down his opponent, or Ryo narrowly avoiding a gas tank flying at him while making Kaori duck and shoot at it midair, making it explode and take out several Teope agents.
    • It's no FOOTSTEPS, but Jet's Are you gonna be my girl? makes for a surprisingly great "climactic fight scene music".
  • Ryo's last feat in the movie. When the Black Hand takes Kaori hostage and hides in a stone mausoleum, the thought-to-be-dead Ryo comes in and fires all six shots of his Colt Python at the same spot from dozens of meters away, digging a hole that on the last bullet allows him to blast the Black Hand's gun out of his hands.
