From the Grindhouse: The Street Fighter
Although I loved Bruce Lee’s “Enter The Dragon”, I’ve never been too much into the karate/chop-socky films, which were indeed a staple of the grindhouse back in the 70’s. Recently, I acquired about 6 or so hours of old grindhouse trailer clips, and saw this one in there, The Street Fighter, starring Sonny Chiba. I watched it last week, and lemme tell you, I was enormously entertained by this piece of craptacular cinema. Chiba’s hyperventilating and facial contortions must be seen to be believed. And the best scene of all is when he crashes through a window and literally rips a would-be rapist’s balls off with his bare hands. Classic.
