I can honestly say this is better than Street Fighter! Sonny Chiba is in this for most of the time. An actual starring role instead of a glorified cameo. No cat throat growling. The very thought of him being Sonny Chiba as an anti-drug advocate who declares vigilante wars is kind of funny. But, in the original movie without the dubbing he might have an actual character name. I think they just called him Sonny Chiba for the American audiences. There may not be a big call for Sonny Chiba movies, but some of the action film people have heard of him. The plot is pretty farfetched. A girl with a lot of drugs gets a guy who is known for wanting to eliminate the drug trade to protect her. I might think it would be better if she was able to keep the fact from Sonny. But, he's after the drug lords not those who are selling a million dollars worth of drugs. Raiko just wants the money. She doesn't care what happens after somebody buys them. It's not her problem. She'd like for the people who buy them to get arrested. Probably more for more protection for her than the problems the drugs will cause. The fight scenes are fair. Not StreetFighter good. But, it would be hard to match it. I almost think a good rule of thumb for a Sonny Chiba movie would be a body part will be removed. An arm is pulled off here. Eye Punch in Return of the Streetighter. Throat Ripping in StreetFighter. You'd think after the beating his sister took, he'd want to avenge it. He doesn't. I still am not sure what the point of the guys arguing about whose better Sonny Chiba or Bruce Lee. I know they were going to be in a movie together. But, Bruce died before they could start filming. That would be a very cool movie. Bruce and Sonny. It was more likely Bruce versus Sonny.Read full review
