Andrew Hernandez on So Close | Blu-ray (88 Films) Agh! Why does it have to be Region B only!? This was a fun movie! This is a m… The character Chiba played in “Kill Bill” was called Hattori Hanzō. This was also the name of a real life 16 th century ninja master swordsman, a character played by Chiba in the “Shadow Warriors” television series. Donahue, Suzanne Mary (1987). American film distribution: the changing marketplace. UMI Research Press. p.296. ISBN 9780835717762. Please note figures are for rentals in US and Canada In The Street Fighter’s Last Revenge, Chiba is joined by Toei star Reiko Ike ( Girl Boss Guerrilla, Sex and Fury) as Tsurugi goes hand-to-hand against an ambitious public prosecutor (Koji Wada) with his own fists of fury over evidence of a corporate coverup involving a chemical spillage. The plots are as flimsy as some of the sets, but the acting, direction and constant action more than make up for this, sweeping you along before the end credits roll far too soon.

The Street Fighter series is what propelled Sonny Chiba to cult status in the West and probably remain his best known films in which he was the main star, Quentin Tarantino then giving them a second boost when Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette go to a cinema showing of the first two films plus Sister Streetfighter in True Romance. Arrow Video have already released some other Chiba outings and even the follow-up Sister Streetfighter trilogy; here at last they bring the original trilogy to fans! Brand new 2K restorations of The Street Fighter and Return of the Street Fighter from 2K scans of the original camera negatives by Arrow FilmsStreet Fighter 6 released this year on June 2 and takes place after the events of the Street Fighter III series, meaning it will be the most recent entry in terms of the timeline. It received high praise from us as well upon release, earning a 9/10 in our review which stated that it's "the most feature-rich a Street Fighter has ever been at launch, but even beyond that, it's roster of 18 characters is excellent, the new mechanics revitalize the one-on-one fighting formula, and it absolutely nails all of the little things that make for a stellar fighting game." The Street Fighter series was Sonny Chiba’s introduction to the world on a global scale, playing well in the drive-ins and flea pit theatres of 42nd Street, there was another action star to place on the marquee, and the way Toei churned out films when they had a winning formula was nothing if not relentless. This was something that really helped make Sonny Chiba the name he is today, amongst those in the know. All three films in this set were released in the calendar year 1974, and yet each one manages to capture a different flavour. A Neapolitan ice cream of films one might say. Being quite over the top is one of the reasons why The Street Fighter is so good, with Chiba’s animalistic charisma and vicious fighting style carrying his deeds through. The fight scenes are spectacular and incredibly fun, with Tsurugi always having an escape route that is inevitably painful, usually through a high window. All of this is helped along by a supremely cool and brassy funk score by Toshiaki Tsushima. Still Gallery (6:32) - Slideshow marketing stills, lobby cards, posters, and newspaper ads for the film.
