I've seen Returner and yes, it is a very excellent SF action film.

I loved Returner so much that, ten minutes after seeing it for the first time
on PPV, I owned it.

Right off the bat, I want to know how he survived that initial jump without
snapping both his ankles...
And toss in the fact that the lead, Takeshi Kanashiro, was also the star of
one truly underrated flick "Returner", and I'm there!

This movie is kind of a cross between Zorro, Batman, and Desperado set in
an alternate universe where WW2 never happened.

Its 1949 and World War II never happened. Nikola Tesla has just won a
Nobel Prize rather than dying in obscurity and the Japanese Empire is an
undying aristocracy where the rich sip tea out of bone china, while the poor
die in the gutters. K-20, the Fiend with Twenty Faces, steals from the rich and
gives to himself. But now, on the eve of the marriage between society princess,
Yoko Hashiba, and chief of police, Kogoro Akechi, the fiend frames simple
circus acrobat Hekichi Endo (Takeshi Kaneshiro) for his crimes and the poor sap
is arrested and sentenced to death. But he escapes at thelast minute and
assumes the guise of K-20 in order to clear his good name.
