Multiple sequels followed but none of them were very good. THE STREET FIGHTER, however, is a keeper, a must-see-it-to-believe-it action classic that has stood the test of time.

"Action is drama. If we cannot make the audience laugh, smile, or cry with us, we are not actors."

Poster for Terror Beneath the Sea. It shows Sonny Chiba and Peggy Neal in scuba gear, a submarine, an airplane, explosions in the ocean, a sort of fish-man, a fish-man attacking someone... it's a lot.

Two Sonny Chiba movies directed by Teruo Ishii, who's toned it down significantly in comparison to his torture movies. It's kitschy martial arts fun, more reminiscent of Hong Kong than Japanese cinema.

I am so ready for more silly weirdness caper shenanigans!
The first one is so funny and entertaining. I don't think I've seen the second.

Executioner (1974)
Teruo Ishii (writer/ director)

An exquisite pairing of Sonny Chiba and Teruo Ishii (Horrors of Malformed Men, Shogun's Joy of Torture).
A choice cocktail of wacky comedy, exploitation, and karate mayhem.
