05/23/2012 Just a Fantastic chop suey ride with some great comedy beats See more 06/16/2011 Oyama's story continues as his rise to fame as a karate expert naturally draws the ire of older schools who don't appreciate his new style. All this back biting and bitching naturally culminates in Chiba fighting a bear, or at least a guy in a bear suit. It's a lot of fun even during the occasionally corny due to the man in suit moments. Worth your rental. See more 10/10/2010 Sonny Chiba fights a bear and is kind of a dick to everyone. What else is there to know? See more 01/28/2009 i love this whole series See more Read all reviews
