Sister Street Fighter (1974)



Sonny Chiba steps aside in this Street Fighter entry to let Etsuko 'Sue' Shihomi take centre stage. It's a pretty standard story involving drug gangs and kidnapping but the plot is secondary to the non stop barrage of bone crunching fight scenes. Blood spurts into the camera lens, eyes are gouged, necks are snapped and at one point Chiba even disembowels an opponent  with his bare hands.
 A worthy entry in the Street Fighter series and the first of four starring Shihomi, looking forward to the others!!
