COWBOY BEBOP: THE MOVIE (2001)[COWBOY BEBOP: TENGOKU NO TOBIRA] [カウボーイビバップ 天国の扉]
"See you, space cowboy." Shinichirō Watanabe's landmark anime series COWBOY BEBOP received the silver screen treatment with the 2001 release of COWBOY BEBOP: THE MOVIE (known as COWBOY BEBOP: KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR in Japan). In 2071, the bounty hunter crew of the spaceship Bebop — Spike, Jet, Faye, Ed and corgi Ein — are after a lucrative contract put out on a bioterrorist hellbent on exterminating the population of Mars by releasing a deadly virus on Halloween. This thrilling, feature-length outing for Watanabe and his team is bolstered by a higher production budget and propelled by the series' acclaimed mixture of neo-noir and space Western. The lively, jazz-inflected score is by composer Yōko Kanno. RATED R
