Awful dubbing, but Sonny kicks ass!

Japan had its Bruce Lee craze just like everywhere else in the early seventies and Sonny Chiba was their answer to Bruce Lee. Along with the vicious action scenes there were some typically Japanese acts of misogyny which seem pretty bizarre to Western audiences when it's the "hero" doing it (When was the last time you saw Chuck Norris or Jackie Chan sell a woman off to a slave ring because she couldn't afford to pay for getting her brother out of jail?). STREET FIGHTER'S LAST REVENGE is somewhat tamer than the first entries into the series. This time around Chiba is more of a James Bond kinda character, donning rubber masks and vampire fangs(!) and is mixed up in a plot involving cassettes with top secret information. There's also some Gong Show-type freak (Who you see a lot of on Japanese TV) who can break chains (He actually uses a laser) who's heard to kill Chiba (Yeah, right!). Along with the awful dubbing there's also the same black and white footage where Chiba, as a kid, sees his father executed to the Chinese which turns up in all the STREET FIGHTER movies.

It would not be complete unless the third movie is seen assuming viewers liked the first two

(1979) The Street Fighter's Last Revenge DUBBED MARTIAL ARTS ACTION

Third and final film of "The Street Fighter" movies starring karate actor Sonny Chiba as Terry retrieving a cassette tape involving the formula for heroin. It is then Terry gets double crossed by the people who hired him. He of course becomes motivated to retrieve the tape back from the people who double cross him but have to face obstacles such as a martial artist from Mexico and a corrupt DA who seems to be a better martial artist then him since he learned some of his techniques was derived from Korea. More bone cracklings and nudity than the first two installments as well the fights are slightly better even though it still looks fake in comparison to what we can get these days but it's still better than most Hong Kong chop sockey movies made in the 70's.

the worst of the series BY FAR

This is not a real street fighter movie. There's no way that this is the same character as the first two movies... why does he have some kind of secret hideout, with disguises and spy-gadgets??? Tsurugi (note: NOT SUGURY) is a violent man, who only does good, because in the end it is what is in his best interest. He's not a super-hero spy or any of the campy crap that can be found in this movie, the third installment. He doesn't call himself "THE STREETFIGHTER" in the first two movies, so why all of a sudden does he say: "They call me THE STREETFIGHTER". The only reason to watch this movie is Chiba and Sue Shiomi. But don't go into it expecting Chiba to have his usual Terry Tsurugi KILLPOWER, because he barely has any in this movie... plus the story is weak in comparison to the first two. The dude who can cut stuff with his laser hands??? All I have to say to him is: "NICE HAT!". Not a cool villain at all. It's not a Street Fighter movie without Junjou.

THE STREET FIGHTER SERIES LIMPLY FIZZLES OUT

If you love THE STREET FIGHTER (and you probably do if you looked up this entry) don't even bother with this final entry in the series. This one sucks out loud, and has only one decent fight scene which lasts for about a minute. Our hero now has taken on a more "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE"-type persona since he now is a master of disguise (???). Skip this.

Terry-bull.

I don't know whether the terrible dubbing on my DVD is to blame, but the plot to this third and final film in The Streetfighter series made very little sense to me—some nonsense to do with a pair of cassette tapes containing the formula for synthetic heroin. Sonny Chiba's hard-as-nails mercenary Terry Tsurugi is double-crossed by the Yakuza over the sale of one of these tapes and consequently takes revenge, taking time out from the kicking and punching to get jiggy with sexy siren Aya Ôwada (Reiko Ike, who goes topless). Oh, and there's a mariachi in a big black sombrero who fires lasers from his fingers, and Terry dresses up like Dracula.

Clearly, it's all a far cry from the gritty brutality of the original film, with Terry more secret agent than anti-hero, complete with headquarters featuring sliding silver doors. Terry even dons latex masks, Mission Impossible style, to change his identity. Even though I usually welcome a healthy dollop of wackiness in my martial arts films, It simply doesn't suit this series, being too far removed from the previous films, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed. I wanted more of the same, but what I got was a whole load of silliness. Very disappointing.

3.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to 4 for Reiko Ike.

No explanation for how Sonny escaped from the tunnel trap.

Alternative Versionen
Unlike the previous two Street Fighter films, The Street Fighter's Last Revenge has only been available in America in a cut R-rated version. While the overall uncensored film isn't as violent as the first two films in the series, several segments of violence had to be removed to obtain an R-rating as opposed to an X: -A shot where Tsurugi attacks a mobster, causing him to spit out bile (presumably), and telling him he has only an hour to live -In the shot where Tsurugi crushes Go Owada's neck with his foot, the shot is prolonged in the uncut Japanese version. Tsurugi crushes down further on his neck, plus the shot of the dying Owada's face is longer and is more revealing to the fact that his head is nearly detached. -Near the end of the film when Kunigami ridge-hand chops Seigen Owada in the head, the reaction is longer, showing a stream of blood flowing from his head wound -When Tsurugi defeats Kunigami in the finale, the shot is extended in two segments. The first segment shows blood leaking onto Tsurugi from Kunigami's stomach wound, while the second segment shows the aftermath of what Tsurugi has torn from his stomach. Aside from this, a lot of scenes in the film had been re-arranged for the American release, so the sequence of events are in a different overall order. The original Japanese cut was finally released on Region 2 DVD in England in January of 2005, featuring the above mentioned shots, as well as some extended bits of dialogue, and the original scene order. Prior to this release, the only video version containing this cut was a first-release VHS in Japan. Despite this being the "X rated" cut in America, this version of the film was only given a "15" certificate in England.
