Still a teenager at the time, Etsuko Shihomi exploded onscreen in her first leading role and created a new character type: a tough fighter who was fierce, fearless, good-hearted, and decidedly non-sexualised, a departure from Toei's typical formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1974's Sister Street Fighter, Shihomi is the half-Chinese, half-Japanese Li Koryu, who travels to Yokohama to investigate the disappearance of her brother, an undercover cop. Li discovers a smuggling ring run by a drug lord with his own personal army of deadly fighters, and must penetrate his evil lair with the help of a fellow karate master (played by Chiba). Shihomi and director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (Wolf Guy) made two additional films based on the same character over the next year, Sister Street Fighter: Hanging By A Thread and Return Of The Sister Street Fighter, with a final unrelated follow-up (Sister Street Fighter: Fifth Level Fist) helmed by original Street Fighter director Shigehiro Ozawa appearing in 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre entertainment of the highest order, the Sister Street Fighter films are a wild ride through some of the best exploitation cinema Japan produced in the 1970s. Funky and over-the-top, filled with wall-to-wall action, and featuring some of the craziest villains ever depicted onscreen, the series embodies female power in a male-dominated genre and is a magnificent showcase for the physical presence and martial arts skills of its lead star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition digital transfers of all four films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal uncompressed Japanese mono audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal English dubbed audio for Sister Street Fighter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew optional English subtitle translation for all four films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish SDH subtitles for the English dub for Sister Street Fighter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew video interviews with actor Shinichi \"Sonny\" Chiba, director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi, and screenwriter Masahiro Kakefuda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Japanese theatrical trailers for all four films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal U.S. theatrical trailer for Sister Street Fighter, plus original English opening titles to the film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal German theatrical trailer for Sister Street Fighter, plus original German opening titles to the film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStills and poster gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Kungfubob O'Brien\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Arrow Video","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54040402067766,"sku":"FCD1864","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7520\/9270\/files\/228303_front.jpg?v=1779235562","url":"https:\/\/outrundvd.com.au\/products\/sister-street-fighter-collection-blu-ray-uk","provider":"OutrunDVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
