Gekitotsu! Satsujin ken (The Street Fighter, 1974)
"But don't worry, Mutaguchi, there's an evil code of conduct - and I'm very tight-lipped."

US importers were looking for a new Bruce Lee after#the star's untimely death‚ and this was the film they decided would revitalise the genre; dubbed and cut it was a smash hit (and became the#first film to earn an X rating in the US for violence alone). it's easy to see why; this is thrilling stuff even if Chiba's amoral#mercenary is a world away from Lee's dignified everyman (in the first act he literally sells a woman as a sex slave; you'd never have#caught one of Lee's characters doing that). the action is spectacular and grotesque‚ including a cut to x ray for a man's shattering skull#(the origin of those fatality screens in fighting games). it also leant it's name to the Street Fighter game series in an unofficial#capacity. lurid and nasty but a lot of fun and by god Chiba was a hell of a performer: where Lee was all about speed and control‚ Chiba is#like a wild animal‚ running up people's bodies and fucking them up while he snarls and pants. an acquired taste perhaps but i dig it#and it's not just action! Chiba brings real pathos to scenes of loss in the last act‚ and his murky motivations make for intriguing viewing
