The Street Fighter(激突！殺人拳Gekitotsu! Satsujin Ken?), literally Clash, Killer Fist!,
Sonny Chiba stars as the cult-classic martial arts legend Terry Tsuguri, taking on opponents with deadly streetfighter tactics. Hired by the Mafia and the Yakuza (the Japanese Mafia), Terry is instructed to kidnap the heiress to a large fortune, but when they can not pay him, he chooses to join the other side. Originally rated X, it is now available in rated and unrated versions.
Sonny Chiba the man so fast they had to slow down the film speed. I 1st saw this movie back in the late 70's on HBO. I watched it every time it was on.
followed up by Return of the Street Fighter and Street Fighters Last Revenge. There is also a 4th film called Sister Street Fighter. Sonny is not in it much and it's not that interesting to me.
This poster hangs in my hallway. Illustrated by the great Nick Cardy. The Street Fighter was the first film to receive an X rating solely for violence.The film was especially controversial because of a scene in which Tsurugi castrates a rapist with his bare hands; it is this scene (among others) that reputedly gained the film its 'X' rating. Below is a picture of a guy who doesn't want to hear your shit. He would just as soon beat the piss out of you as look at you. I like that about him.
this guy gets the final word. which is ...Ssssppppeeeeeeessssssaaarrrrggghhhh.
