Rating: 4 stars
Summary: First One is the Best
Review: Sonny Chiba's "The Street Fighter" was once notorious for being the first movie to get a (now defunct) "X" rating for violence, and "Street Fighter" is indeed a violent film. A bright red blood gushes everywhere, heads are cracked open, throats ripped out, and, in an incredible instance, a reproductive organ is ripped off. Add this hideous violence to a macho performance by Chiba and some decent fight choreography and you get a very fun 70s karate movie.
"Street Fighter's Last Revenge" sees Chiba's character becoming more of a James Bond type. There's even a romantic sub plot! This entry, however, isn't as enjoyable as the first one. "Sister Street Fighter" is a downright abomination, and Chiba doesn't even play the same Terry Tsuguri character!
The triple feature DVD from Vintage (which ignores the first sequel, "Return of the Streetfighter") has all three movies in 2.35:1 widescreen. They are all quite watcheable, with the first one looking the best. A biography of Sonny Chiba is included. I've seen a version of the same disc with an extra cardboard package with film and Sonny Chiba facts.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the reason i like kung fu movies
Review: though i havent seen the sequals YET the original street fighter staring sonny chiba{kill bill v.1} is a awesome and i mean awesome movie that you dont even need to hear to enjoy
the reason i said that is i got a bootleg dvd copy and the sound sucked but the movie still kicked arse
if i had to describe this movie id say its a mix between bruce lee and steven seagal
all of the kills are unique and bloody only the blood is a lil to orange to gross people out

in conclusion BYE THIS IT RULES
