Review of Return of the Street Fighter (1974) by Curtis W — 12 May 2004
Digging into the 10 Faces of Sonny Chiba box-set I bought recently, I've started going through the Street Fighter series.
This one has a simpler story than The Street Fighter, though it is pretty much the same: Terry (Sonny) is hired by the mob to infiltrate a prison, he ends up running afoul of their scheme and they try to kill him.
Right at the beginning, Terry rips out a guy's vocal chords, just like he did at the end of the first film. This comes into play later.
In another move, Terry raps a bad guy on the back of the head, making his eyeballs pop out. I'll have to watch that again.
There's a fight in a gym, where he's wearing these striped briefs. He ends up kicking all their asses and locks them in a sauna turned up full blast.
With Terry's sidekick Ratnose gone, he has a new one - a really annoying chick. Don't worry, she is taken care of.
This is the Brentwood release with English dubbing, and the dialogue is pure 1970s, with talk about "bread" and "we could have had a real nice night, babe.".
