Sonny Chiba plays pretty much the same character here as he did in THE STREET FIGHTER here and that's his usual badass persona. The plot deals with 2 brothers who head up opposing gangs of drug-dealing mobsters that are causing chaos throughout a Japanese city(which city I'm not sure they ever clarify since the cheapass dollar DVD-version I have of this has a few unfortunate audio problems.) There's also a samurai swordsman character, who seems to have stepped out of a ZATOICHI film or something, that is the father of a little boy that luckily doesn't say too much and isn't as annoying as children often are in these types of films. Lots of karate and sword-fights ensue. Hands, arms and blood flies. A pretty decent martial-arts/gangster mix that I've seen listed as the final entry in THE STREET FIGHTER series which it really wasn't but it's at least as good as some of the sequels to that one. AKA KILLING FIST AND CHILD
