Summary: Sonny Chiba knows his [stuff]!!!
Review: Notorious for being an especially gory kung fu flick, THE STREET FIGHTER, by today's standard's, isn't to horrible gore-wise. It centers around a mean-sprited kung fu fighter who agrees to help protect a girl from mobsters after her inheritance. Chiba is clearly the Bruce Lee of Japan and this film, along with it's three sequels, is a milestone in the history of kung fu films. Just don't try to think too much about all the characters arriving to the recscue without knowing where to go.

Summary: Street Fighter: One Of The All-Time Best Martial Arts Films
Review: Often confused with the 1994 martial arts video game movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, this martial arts cult classic was one of the first movies in cinematic history to earn an "X" rating because of violence. Chiba is kung-fu assassin, Terry Sugury, who is hired by the Yakuza for an extortion plot. Using a series of excessively graphic moves, Terry takes out all comers. If you enjoyed the early films of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, you will probably want to check out Chiba, who many consider to be their Japanese equivilent. This film was followed by three other sequels though none quite live up to the action in this one. This one is right up there with "Enter The Dragon" as one of the very best martial arts films of all-time.

Summary: Classic karate movie
Review: Sonny Chiba is great. As the title suggests the fighting is direct and to the point. Parts of it are dark and hard to see - the showdown on the ship at night - but the fight scenes on the whole are very well done and realistic. A friend told me he saw parts of the Go-Ju form Sae Um Chun on it, I need to see it again to look for that. This is one of the early classics of its genre.

Summary: beautifully shot 70's genre action!
Review: Sonny Chiba really stretches it across the screen. The faces he makes! The story is that simple/complex gangster/spaghetti western fare, but this film is beautiful to look at. Great closeups, interiors and settings from Tokyo streets to woodsy sun-dappled river banks to oil tankers. Some creepy and outrageous side character/yakuza keep you on your toes as well. All that with a lotta red splatter and a killer soundtrack make this a classic. The DVD has a quiz at the end that is pretty dumb.

Summary: Throat Ripping!
Review: The opening scene is a masterpiece, reminicent of Sergio Leone's spagehtti westerns. Best martial arts film next to Enter the Dragon. Chiba is an anti Bruce Lee: ammoral killer whose only satisfaction comes from hearing his opponents' last gasp. And he's the GOOD guy!?

Summary: Brutal martial arts masterpiece
Review: This movie is a true classic in the martial arts genre. Sonny Chiba is a great fighter and his character is the baddest hero you could ever imagine. To give you a glimpse into his brutality, in one scene he sells a girl to the mafia because she couldn't pay him for rescuing her brother from prison. She is then drugged and raped! Over the top violence and excellent fight scenes are what make this movie one of the greatest fight flicks ever.
