Sonny fans, want to see Sonny Chiba, better see Kill Bill I & II Or Storm Rider Or Explosive City.

1 out of 5 stars Kung Pow! Sonny Chiba Rocks On!.......2002-02-09

Sonny Chiba can be called a poor man's Bruce Lee...full of attitude, self-taught, great martial artist, but flops around like a great white shark on the deck of party boat! Sonny truly is the final answer to critics who say you can't make it on guts, emotion, furrowed brows and monkey-do kung fu. I can't get behind this DVD because it doesn't even list what the heck we're talking about. But, if you're at all interested, track down the out of print double-features that bring the top six Chiba films out of retirement.

5 out of 5 stars A great box set!.......2007-01-30

This is how they should've done the 10 Faces of Sonny Chiba box, a few years ago. The movies have their original Japanese audio, the transfer is very good, the box is very nice, and there's also an included booklet about Sue Shiomi and the director. Jam-packed with martial hijinks and zany comic book baddies, this set comes highly recommended for the choppy-socky audience.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!!!!!.......2006-09-26

This is what DVD was made for!
Forget those bootlegs and earlier editions of SS people!
Right here is the absolute best quality and presentation ever.

All 4 films(one is not an official SS film but close enough),remastered to perfection.

SS itself has an english track and the rest are in the original language with subtitles.

BCI is definitely the lead dog in the martial arts field at this point with the Chiba,Shiomi,Rarescope and even Tony Jaa's Spirited Killer film coming out like an assault!

And the price is amazing for this package here.
It comes out to about 10 bucks a film and its worth it.
You can get it cheaper from the Amazon sellers section which would come out to about 30 bucks with shipping.So 7.50 a flick.
There's original posters and trailers plus a great booklet with articles and interviews about Shiomi.

Watching these with this level of quality is like seeing them for the first time.

4 out of 5 stars Chiba kicks ... and takes names Part 3.......2003-05-05

This is the third and final video in the Street Fighter Trilogy and it has the best plot of all three. Sonny Chiba returns as Terrt Tsurugi. A gang of mobsters wants a synthetic formulafor heiroin and they hire Terry to get it for them. However they ambush Terry and kill his girlfriend. But they make the biggest and last mistake of their lives and the let Terry live. When he finds them he is pissed. Not even a gang of mobsters can survive the wraith of the Street Fighter's Last Revenge. Fans of martail arts movies and Sonny Chiba will enjoy the third and most exciting Street Fighter movie.

5 out of 5 stars Street Fighter's Last Revenge/Sister Street Fighter.......2001-08-31

Anybody who is a fan of kung fu movies and has a sense of humor will love this DVD Street Fighter's Last Revenge/Sister Street Fighter. Along with an unbeatable price this DVD and Street Fighter/Return of Street Fighter are a fun addition to any collection.

3 out of 5 stars For the Chiba Fans.......2001-07-04

If you are a Sonny Chiba fan, then your Streetfighter collection should be complete. Honestly, once you have seen the first two, then these don't add up as much. To have two movies on one DVD for under $10??!! You'd be an idiot not to get it. Quality is good and the fight scenes are traditional Chiba. A must buy for the money and Chiba fan. And yes, you get the famous flashback, "LISTEN MY SON, TRUST NO ONE!"

5 out of 5 stars Martial Hilarity!.......2001-05-25

Although the "Sister" as per the title is not really related to anti-hero Terry Tsurugi, and Chiba plays a different role, it's still a martial arts classic. There is an unlimited number of crazy baddies, each with her/her own trick and funny 70's outfit. The film does show some Shorinji Kempo training, much like Chiba did with Kyokushin in the earlies films, and Sue Shiomi is better than the modern movie "martial artists". For 10.00 this double-buy is a must have!

4 out of 5 stars If you liked the first two...........2001-02-14

If you liked the first two Sonny Chiba Street Fighter movies, then you'll like the third. Now, once you have the first three, you have to get Sister Street Fighter. Remember, Quetin Tarintino loved these movies.

3 out of 5 stars False Advertising Again.......2007-01-19

Great movie, terrible film to dvd transfer and not subtitled as listed.

3 out of 5 stars Shihomi Etsuko Bloodbath.......2003-08-04

This was the first in a series of movies that went under the title of "Onna hissatsu-ken," or "Lethal Fist of the Woman," intended to showcase the talents of Shihomi Etsuko, a female Japanese martial artist trained in Shaolin Kenpo. It is not a Sonny Chiba film, and as other reviewers have pointed out, he only has a small part.

That said, the movie is best enjoyed on its own campy terms. It takes itself perfectly seriously, although it's nothing more than a pastiche of elements swiped from contemporary Hong Kong films-- and pretty much every villain tries his level best to imitate Bruce Lee's deadpan fighting style. In true Japan style, however, the fights are over the top, extremely bloody, and sometimes just ridiculous. In short, it's hilarious. The fights get more and more brutal (and laughable) as the day-glo blood pours. This movie is sure to satisfy those looking for surreal, cheesy fun, but certainly won't appeal to people looking for a high-quality martial arts film. I really enjoy watching the star, since she always manages to appear so sincere in her roles and isn't a bad martial artist. Sadly, her talents were squandered in increasingly formulaic and silly movies.

Please note that I can't vouch for the quality of this release, since I've only seen the Japanese original.

1 out of 5 stars WHY DID THEY REDUCE CHIBA TO CAMEOS FOR THIS GIRL?.......2003-07-27

THIS GIRL CAN FIGHT, BUT FIRST OF ALL, WHY DID THEY SHORTEN CHIBA'S PRESENCE TO A CAMEO JUST TO DEVOTE A MOVIE TO A GIRL WHO CAN'T HOLD HER OWN AGAINST HALF THE MEN IN THE MARTIAL ARTS INDUSTRY? HERE'S THE WACK PLOT; A COP DISSAPEARS WHILE TRYING TO BUST A MAJOR DRUG CARTEL, AND IT'S UP TO HIS SISTER TO FIND HIM. DON'T BE FOOLED. DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF SONNY CHIBA'S PICTURE ON THE COVER, CHIBA VERY SELDOMLY APPEARS IN THIS ONE. LET'S FACE IT, THIS ONE RUINED WHAT COULD'VE BEEN A BETTER SERIES OF SEQUELS. NOW REALLY, I FIND IT STUPID THAT THIS GIRL CAN FIGHT HER WAY THROUGH ALL THESE MEN LIKE IT'S ALMOST NOTHING. THE FILMMAKERS REALLY SHOULD'VE THOUGHT LONG AND HARD BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE SONNY CHIBA AS THE STAR FOR THIS LAME GIRL. HOPEFULLY, THEY WOULD LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES BY THE TIME ''THE STREET FIGHTER'S LAST REVENGE'' WAS RELEASED.

4 out of 5 stars 70s Chop Socky at its GREATEST.......2003-07-07

Martial arts film is a beautiful genre. Seagal, Van Damme, they've ruined it, made it into the "action movie", which [is bad].

Sister Street Fighter is a VERY good 70s martial arts film, starring Sue Shiomi. It is very stylish, with good cinematography, and well-choreographed fight scenes. This is some of the last and greatest kung-fu filmmaking. Sonny Chiba has about 3 fight scenes (he is not the star), all of which rock. Your basic kidnap/revenge plot... there are FIGHTING AMAZONS...!!!! Not a waste of money, despite what that narcoleptic guy said.

2 out of 5 stars BORING!!.......2003-05-24

Well, honestly I fell asleep about half way thru the movie. It was given to me as a present so I didn't waste my money. You are better of buying something else. This was the first time I've seen a Sonny Chiba movie, and I was not impressed.

    3 out of 5 stars Sorry, but this sister is NO streetfighter!.......2007-04-29

    Sue Shiomi tries her best and does a half-decent job, but the screen only really sparks into life when Mr. Streetfighter himself swaggers on and starts some serious buttkicking. Unfortunately, this is all too seldom. To make up for that there are a selection of weapons fights on offer, Sai, Tonfa, Nunchaku, but most of these are wasted - whether my copy was cut, I don't know - with only the nunchaku getting a decent showing.

    As one of the other reviews mentioned there does seem to be more than just a polite nod to Enter the Dragon in parts of this movie. Not that that's a bad thing, but don't come to this expecting anything like Bruce Lee's masterpiece.

    It's a pleasant way to spend 90 minutes, but really it's nothing that special.

    4 out of 5 stars Babyfaced Cutie Slaughters Every Goon in Sight.......2006-01-30

    Connoisseurs of old-school karate flicks will be hard pressed to find a female action star who is as much fun to watch as Etsuko "Sue" Shiomi. Of course there are others with better abilities in both martial arts and acting, such as the great Michelle Yeoh, but Shiomi certainly combined seriously chopsocky buttkickin' action skills with heart and adorability. Shiomi was just 19 years old or so when this movie was filmed back in the mid-70s, and not only is she a real cutie, but she can also kill you with her bare hands. This movie has a pretty typical karate flick plot, as main character Tina (Shiomi) infiltrates a gang of drug runners who have imprisoned her brother, and leaves big piles of bleeding goons in her wake. Shiomi isn't a very good actress to be sure – her dialogue mostly consists of yelling and you could count all of her facial expressions on one hand, though she at least looks like she feels bad after kicking a guy down the stairs or embedding a spike in another guy's skull.

    This movie is also worth tracking down for anyone who loves old karate flicks that are just so bad they're good. We get a heaping helping of fight scenes showcasing a variety of martial arts styles and weapons. And it just keeps getting more fun – with bizarrities like an elite force of fighters who wear baskets on their heads and get beaten by a ballerina, and a troop of Thai kickboxing teenage chicks who for some reason are dressed up like Pebbles Flintstone. (YabbaDabbaDoo!) Not to mention the high-priced gangsters who keep getting whomped by a single young cutie pie. Why doesn't the big boss just fire all these idiots already? And on a historical note, there is evidence that Quentin Tarrantino is hip to this film, and some fans of the genre are speculating that Sue Shiomi was the direct inspiration for Uma Thurman's character in "Kill Bill." You will really like Sue Shiomi as an action star after catching this flick, so track this lost gem down if you can. [~doomsdayer520~]

    4 out of 5 stars Fist and Beauty.......2004-12-23

    I think the idea of this movie is to mimic Enter The Dragon while
    showcasing the star Etsuko Shiomi, in that respect it was a
    success, It helped that Etsuko Shiomi is a real karate fighter
    in real life, few will remember that she once issued a challenge
    to a chinese actress who also portrayed tough girl roles, It was
    suppose to be full contact, needless to say the chinese girl
    declined, such was the reputation of Shiomi in her heydays,
    I wonder where she is now. If you like Kill Bill or Azumi, you
    won't be disappointed in this movie specially as the star here
    has real fighting talent. I could have rated this 5 stars but
    the transfer to DVD could have been better.
