International Computer Entertainment produced a video game based on Akira for the Amiga and Amiga CD32 in 1994. [108] To coincide with the DVD release in 2002, Bandai released Akira Psycho Ball, a pinball simulator for the PlayStation 2. [109] Live-action film[edit] Main article: Akira (planned film) Since 2002, Warner Bros. acquired the rights to create a live-action remake of Akira as a seven-figure deal. [110][111] The live-action remake has undergone several failed attempts to produce it, with at least five different directors and ten different writers known to have been attached to it. [112][113] By 2017, director Taika Waititi was named as the film's director for the live-action adaptation. [111] Warner Bros. had scheduled the film for release on May 21, 2021,[114] and filming was planned to start in California in July 2019. [115] However, Warner Bros. put the work on indefinite hold just prior to filming as Waititi had chosen to first direct Thor: Love and Thunder, the sequel to Thor: Ragnarok, which he had also directed. [116] Legacy[edit] Further information: Akira (franchise) and Akira (manga) § Legacy Akira is widely regarded as one of the
greatest animated movies of all time and prompted an increase in popularity of anime movies in the US and, generally, outside Japan.

Then following the rotation of the outstretch arm, the ball is moved in a circular motion, typically moving from the
front towards the back, and then slammed through the rim. Although, due to momentum, many players are unable to palm the ball through the entire windmill motion, the dunk is often completed with one-hand as centripetal force allows the player to guide the ball with only their dunking hand. In some instances sticky resins or powders may be applied to the palm, these are thought to improve grip and prevent loss of possession. [39] Amongst players, subtle variations in the direction of the windmill depend on bodily orientation at takeoff and also jumping style (one-foot or two-feet) in relation to dominant hand. There are a number of variations on the windmill, the most common being the aforementioned one- or two-hand variants. In these cases, the windmill motion may be performed with the previously discussed one-arm technique and finished with one- or two-hands, or the player may control the ball with two hands, with both arms performing the windmill motion, finishing with one or both hands. Additionally, the ball may be cuffed between the hand and the forearm—generally with the dominant hand. The cuff technique provides better ball security, allowing for a faster windmill motion and increased force exerted on the basket at finish, with either one or both hands. Using the cuffing method, players are also afforded the opportunity of performing the windmill motion towards the front, a technique exploited by French athlete Kadour Ziani when he pioneered his trademark double-windmill. Occasionally in the game setting, the windmill is performed via alley-oop but is rarely seen in offense-rebound putback dunks due to the airtime required. Dominique Wilkins popularized powerful windmills—in games as well as in contests—including two-handed, self-pass, 360°, rim-hang, and combined variants thereof.
