Viewing Notes
This is a Sonny Chiba flick from the 70s, and the fourth and final film of the STREET FIGHTER series. Crazy retelling of YOJIMBO with some mix of LONE WOLF AND CUB. A traditional looking samurai in contemporary Japan with gangs and heroin. Interesting.
There are some inanely amazing looking fight scenes that are shot in slow motion and up close and personal. Not too many cheap camera tricks for stage combat. Love that.
