See more 08/31/2021 My third favorite movie of all time behind Casablanca and 12 Monkeys. I became a lifelong Sonny Chiba fan after watching this movie. Yeah, Enter The Dragon is the best martial arts film ever, but The Street Fighter is the most fun. See more @TKDLife 08/20/2021 I went back and watched this after Sonny China's sad COVID death. The fighting is insanely good for a movie of its day. Chiba is gritty and talented. He has good screen presence. The story is solid with two story lines: one about collecting a debt for a prison break and a second about protecting an heiress. This movie is visually good. The dubbing is horrible or I might have given it an additional star. This one always lands on lists of the best martial arts' films of all time so I suggest it is worth seeing. Some good looks at Japanese karate and traditional karate training. There is some brutal and chauvinistic scenes. See more Read all reviews
