The Bodyguard

Rating:
Summary: He must try to stay alive at all costs!
Review: Starring: Sonny Chiba, Bill Louir, Aaron Banks, Judy Lee, Etsuko Shihomi.
Sonny Chiba, the fiercest martial arts screen hero since Bruce Lee, demonstrates his deadliest fighting skills in this raging action crime thriller. Japanese and New York City Drug-running gangsters face off against him in this brutal gand war showdown.

Rating:
Summary: Cheated out of Chiba
Review: This movie does not showcase Sonny Chiba's martial arts skill. Streetfighter was probably his best. This film has relatively few fight scenes, and they are nowhere near par with Streetfighter. In addition, the fight scenes are shot in dim, dark lighting, or at angles that obscure rather than reveal the fighting styles.

I bought the Platinum DVD version of this film, which was not the best transfer quality, watched the movie twice, then swapped it in with a used dealer.
