Sister Street Fighter is a spin off of The Street Fighter (1974). The plot revolves around Lǐ Hóng-Lóng , the female martial artist of the title. When her brother Lǐ Wàn-Qīng is kidnapped by druglords, she seeks revenge. The druglord's colorful collection of "killers" includes a toga-clad group of Thai Boxers called the "Amazons Seven", along with representatives of almost every martial art. Hóng-Lóng breaks into the druglord's compound with the help of Seiichi Hibiki (Sonny Chiba) and other members of the Shorinji Kempo dojo. After all of his minions are defeated, the druglord himself battles Hóng-Lóng, wearing a steel claw in imitation of Han, the villain from Enter the Dragon (1973).(from Wiki)
Fast paced with crazy Kung-Fu action, nudity & graphic violence with spraying geysers of blood that put SEX & FURY to shame.
This movie is the shit!
Reminds me of some psychotic, hyper violent, Kung -Fu 60's BATMAN episode with the direction, some of the sets & crazy villains with their own specialties.
Sonny Chiba also appears, but alas not as Terry Tsurugi (The Street Fighter).
A tie- in in name only. Followed by 3 sequels.
VERY highly recommended! Watching it again right now!
