Imagine a film festival dedicated to glorious B-movies of the seventies. I'd pick ENTER THE DRAGON, THE STREET FIGHTER and DEATH RACE 2000 in a heart beat. Out of this pyramid of personal favorites, THE STREET FIGHTER is by far the meanest and nastiest of them all. Reasons? I give you Sonny Chiba!<br/><br/>When you think of Kung-Fu movies there's the protagonist and the antagonist thrown against each other in a good vs. evil mode. You are in for a treat when you meet Terry Tsorugi (amazingly played by Chiba), a mercenary with no apparent boundaries between right and wrong. You just can't decide whether to cheer for him or just feel repulsed by the brutal actions against his instant enemies, from really evil characters to your ordinary good guy from a straight movie.<br/><br/>The jail-house sequence at the beginning (the framing, the cheesy dubbing, the fight in slow motion with exaggerated sound effects to the abrupt movie title) is just brilliant. Cool is the best word to describe the bad-ass retro score. The plot builds itself to almost anywhere, but who cares in this genre? Every setting is the stage for the ultimate battle of this anti hero. Check out the duel on a stormy and rainy night right at the end. This is a rip-roaring flick that accepts no excuses.<br/><br/>Presented in an American censored version back in the eighties labeled by MGM (!) on betamax format, we can now experience the "no holds barred" violence of THE STREET FIGHTER on VHS and DVD. This happened mostly because of New Line's marketing distribution and Tarantino's love for this cheapo, which had a cameo in Tony Scott's TRUE ROMANCE and landed Chiba an acting gig out of oblivion in QT's KILL BILL VOL. 1.<br/><br/>Revenge, double crosses, head splattering, one X-ray super punch, mutilation, castration, litters of fake blood, you name it. A certifiable guilty pleasure of epic proportions!
Better Than "Enter The Dragon"? Well, no. But otherwise the best martial arts movie ever made? Well, yes. Sonny Chiba plays the "In it for the cash anti-hero with a strict personal code of conduct" to the hilt, and while his actual acting talent is somewhat lacking, this isn't the kind of movie where it matters. My only complaint with the movie is his deep breathing "Chi" exercises. You can't tell if he's getting focused, choking on a piece of sushi, or hawking up phlem to spew at his attackers. Favorite part- right after Terry and Ratface's car is dropped off the bridge, Terry commences to beating the holy crap out of two guys, and after getting one of them on his knees, he punches him directly in the top of the head- and it smash-cuts to an X-RAY VIEW of the dude's head getting bashed in! Then it cuts back to the actual shot of the guy, who spews a mouthful of that wonderfully fake-looking Japanese stage blood. As Christian Slater said in "True Romance" when asked if Sonny Chiba was the good guy- "Well, he's not so much the good guyhe is just a bad mother-fu**er."
