A classic, finally on DVD.......2007-02-27
I first rented this from Blockbuster on VHS in the early 90's when I became interested in Japanese cinema, martial arts and history. I immediately fell in love with this flick, which takes incredible liberties with historical figures, but delivers some very memorable showdowns. Sometimes funny, sometimes brutal, sometimes bizarre, sometimes educational, always entertaining!
Really good flick 1 of his best movies.......2006-05-04
A ruthless warlord bent on gaining control of Japan. At the behest of the Emperor, he kills the head of the Mimoshi clan and then comes after his family. And then comes the REVENGE what kind of plots would there be if it wasn't for revenge. "Vengenace is mind saith the Lord" This movie spun anime flick ninja scroll which is really good check that out too! Holla dubose123@verizon.net
worth watching.......2006-03-06
Not you average movie, unless you have seen all of chibas samurai movies. I found it very enjoyable. I don't have this version, but I did get 9 movies for $6, so for the price, this movie rates more like a 5/5, but just reviewing it as a movie, it was pretty good. Sonny chiba's fav apprentice is back for this one and shows a lot of the stuff that he did in Ninja in the Dragon's den. His dad was kille dand now hes like that last of his line and he needs to defeat chiba's evil ninja character. Some very good exhibitions and good hand to hand. All the action is VERY good, but there is not enough, all in all final fight was good, very good parts in the movie all the way through. Much better than ninja wars-a similiar movie that came with this collection.

Better see Kill Bill and Storm Rider.......2005-07-09
Sonny fans, want to see Sonny Chiba, better see Kill Bill I & II Or Storm Rider Or Explosive City.
Kung Pow! Sonny Chiba Rocks On!.......2002-02-09
Sonny Chiba can be called a poor man's Bruce Lee...full of attitude, self-taught, great martial artist, but flops around like a great white shark on the deck of party boat! Sonny truly is the final answer to critics who say you can't make it on guts, emotion, furrowed brows and monkey-do kung fu. I can't get behind this DVD because it doesn't even list what the heck we're talking about. But, if you're at all interested, track down the out of print double-features that bring the top six Chiba films out of retirement.

Forgot i had this movie..........2007-03-09
I wouldn't recommend paying 12+ dollars for it like i did(stupid major electronic store)..but getting it on here for less than $5 is worth it.There are plenty of ninja in it(if i remember correctly) and sonny chiba is cool as always...go ahead and buy it if you like real Japanese flicks.
Street Fighter is Chiba-tastic!!!.......2006-08-31
Critiquing the plot of this movie is pointless,likewise the acting,writing,cinematography etc. It's just one great fight scene after another. All the extraneous elements,such as the aforementioned few, are boiled away,leaving the distilled, pure essence of martial arts movies. But a little known fact is that Chiba studied directly under MAS OYAMA, creator of kyokushinkai karate. This is one nasty art. It cultivates the spirit but also emphasizes raw destructive power. The teacher character in the movie is an homage to Oyama, a genuine Master in the world of martial arts. So, at least one of the characters is based on a real person. Pretty cool!
"Street Fighter" Double Feature DVD Review.......2005-07-11
Arguably one of the best and most violent martial arts films of its time, 'The Street Fighter" starring Sonny Chiba was the first film to be given a "X" rating because of its violent content. In a time when the majority of martial arts films were pretty much the same, "Street Fighter" featured some of the most violent images ever showcased in martial arts cinema. The movie stars Chiba as a ruthless assassin who as described by Christian Slater in True Romance, "pretty much gets paid to f--k guys up". This double-feature DVD not only includes the original uncut Sonny Chiba classic in its original widescreen format but also includes its first sequel. While it is light on special features, this is one of the best versions of either movie you can find on DVD. Not for the weak of heart.
A Poor Excuse For A DVD.......2005-03-02
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the story. I've seen it in the cinema in the 80's and I still love it. But the issue why I gave low ratings is because of the DVD. This is the first time I've seen a DVD where the makers of it, puts watermark images of the company in various scene in the movie. Talk about advertising!
Second, on the cover, it was written that the movie has undergone digital transfer. The only thing that I think, where the movie got it "digital transfer" is from a poor quality VHS tape to DVD. This is absurd! Even the soundtracks bear the quality of a bad tape recording.
I've watch other Sonny Chiba's movies from the 80's in DVD format like Ninja Wars and GI Samurai aka Time Slip and both quality is what a DVD should be. This one is clearly an attempt to make a quick money at the fans of the man.
The first 2 reviews, refers to other movies and not the one in question. To Amazon, please remove this item from your listing.
Shogun's shame.......2004-02-13
Why was this movie so terrible? It started at first glance; the title. A Shogun is Japanese, whereas a Ninja is Chinese. A Shogun would never associate with a ninja, as ninja are without honor. A Shogun would only associate with Samurai.
Now we can get past this glaring error to the cheesy schlock that was the rest of this movie. From the soundtrack reminiscent of lower quality 70's porno flicks, to the unentertaining, poorly choreographed battles, poor acting, etc... do not waste precious minutes of your life watching this movie. After watching this movie I am honor-bound to commit Seppuku. Goodbye, cruel world.

I've Seen This As EIGHT Samurai, not Seven.......2003-05-31
This is a tough movie to follow, and a real departure for Chiba from the 80's kung-fu stuff. This is basically Kabuki theatre on film. I can't recommend it for kung fu fans, but it is an interesting piece of cheaply-available DVD fodder for Chiba fans.
Certainly worh the few dollars. Can't tell if it was filmed in widescreen or not for sure, but the DVD is full-frame.
