Product Description

Product Description

Martial arts box set starring Sonny Chiba as the animal fighting machine Terry Tsurugi. In 'The Street Fighter' (1974), Terry is hired by the mob to kidnap a wealthy heiress, but when he is betrayed he unleashes a violent revenge against them. 'The Return of the Street Fighter' (1975) sees Terry hired to kill two informers, but when he realises one of them is an old friend, he goes on the run. Finally, in 'The Street Fighter's Last Revenge' (1979), Terry finds himself involved in a high-level drug-smuggling operation, fighting gangsters on one side and secret agents on the other.

5.0 out of 5 starsSonny Chiba's magnum opus gets the treatment it deserves
By Teo K. on 10 Mar. 2010
Verified Purchase
There's not much to say about the films themselves - those familiar with Chiba's work will already know all about them, and for those who aren't - this trilogy is well worth you money. All three films are uncut, digitally remastered and feature anamorphic 2.35:1 AR, original Japanese audio (in Stereo 2.0) with great English subtitles. Special features include the theatrical trailers for each film.

Overall, Optimum Asia did a fantastic job on restoring these brilliant films.

3.0 out of 5 starsIt's all about the violence...
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 22 July 2010
The biggest problem with The Street Fighter is that Sonny Chiba's violent protagonist is an utter scumbag who's no better than the villains, leaving no-one to root for, which rather reduces it to sitting back and waiting for the next fight between two sides of equally bad guys. How bad is Chiba? When his clients ask for more time to pay for a prison escape he arranges, he kills the brother and sells the sister to a bunch of rapists to make up what they owe him. The only thing the film offers in mitigation is seeing his father killed by the Japanese during the war, which doesn't really cut it (and if you're planning on seeing all three films, you'll be seeing a lot of that scene). Even when he fights on the right side, it's with the intention on getting a little payback on the mafia and maybe kidnapping the girl he's tasked to protect himself. Which more or less leaves the film to stand or fall on the strength of its many no-holds barred action scenes.

Unlike Hong Kong martial arts films this isn't about the elegance or discipline of the moves or the moral philosophy - it's all about the violence, as brutally over the top ultraviolent as only the 70s could be. A rapist has his penis and scrotum ripped off, one skull smash is shown in x-ray and Chiba proves adept at ripping out any number of bad guys internal organs while much unconvincing stage blood flows. It's the sheer so-far-over-the-top-it-practically-circumnavigates-the-world-twice nature of the violence that makes it seem less offensive than it should, or you suspect, wants to be.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsViolent martial arts fun!
By Cub Tiger on 29 Jan. 2009
Verified Purchase
This is basically Japan's answer to Bruce Lee. Sonny Chiba plays the main character who is a bit of an anti-hero and finds himself mixed up with Yakuza's and a professional fighter he breaks out of jail. All three films are very violent and bloody. However, because they are so OTT and made in the early seventies when effects weren't as good, I found some parts quite light hearted and tongue in cheek. Particularly a part in 'Return of the Street Fighter' when a man gets punched in the back of the head with disastrous consequences for a certain part of his face (I won't ruin it). All in all if you're looking for a bit of Bruce Lee style action with some fun and ultra violence thrown in, then you can't go wrong with this.

4.0 out of 5 starsInsane and entertaining.
By Mark Lockett on 5 Jun. 2011
Verified Purchase
Three martial arts movies made "on a budget". Honestly, the big special effect in the first film is a car which kinda slides down a roadside drain. The first is the most frenetic of the movies and sees Sonny Chiba doing his best Bruce Lee on acid bit, lots of strange grunts and exaggerated Lee mannerisms. The story seems to have been "revised" somewhat in the editing, but is still okay. The second film is probably the weakest of the three, but worth watching for more of the same as the first one. The third goes right over the line of insanity; the big bad guy in this is a "mafia hit-man" who happens to dress in the full mariachi uniform, including a huge sombrero and he shoots lasers from his belt buckle, great stuff. Streetfighter meets knock-off Bond and it's hilarious. To be fair, these films don't take themselves too seriously, they seem to know their limits and play to them. If you like mad, exploitation, martial arts movies, then this set is for you.
