If you've got to fight...fight dirty!
Sonny Chiba shows up early giving the last rights to a guy on death row – the 'last Okinawa karate master' actually. He gives him the means to escape. Maybe he's a good guy. but I doubt it. Chiba just looks mean and ugly, and he makes the weirdest looking faces when he fights. He certainly isn't the Jet Li type; more Clint Eastwood as "the man with no name" to me.
But, we soon find he is a thug-for-hire as the brother and sister show up and they are light in the cash they owe him. brother goes out the window and sister gets sold as a sex slave.
This guy is so bad that he can walk out on the Yakusa. He will join any side that pays him more. What a sweetheart! The film gets gorier and gorier from here. This is the first film in the US to get a X or violence, so expect to seem lots of blood. If you are squeamish, then this is not for you!
There are a lot of interesting characters, and lots of fighting, and lots of ...well, I guess you can expect that from a street fighter.
