1.0 out of 5 stars
A Poor Excuse For A DVD, March 2, 2005
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best presentation of these films currently available!, August 14, 2001
By A Customer
This double feature DVD is one of my favorites discs. Sure, it's a little bare bones (you get a menu to choose which film to see, and a small biography on star Sonny Chiba, while the themesong from the movies plays), that doesn't matter, because for this price, it's a steal! You get the original film, "The Street Fighter", in it's totally uncut version, and widescreen to boot! The first movie released in America rated X for violence! Sonny Chiba is an unstoppable force! And you also get the ultra-rare UNCUT version of "Return of the Street Fighter"!! This release is the only one I know of that is totally uncut, not even the New Line version is uncut. This rare version even contains the infamous "eyeball" scene, where Chiba chops a thug in the back of the head and his eyes bulge out! You have to get this disc!

4.0 out of 5 stars
at the end shogun has no ninja, October 20, 2002
By A Customer
this is one of those over-looked movies. i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the picture transfer could have been much better. one of the things that make this movie is the 70's music set to the fighting scenes, it fits perfectly. one thing is the realilistic costumes of the ninja. for example you don't find almost any ninja in black, they wear camoflauge, lite gray, and period dress, which is what they really wore. and the variety of the ninja is nice too, spider-ninja, monk-ninja, samuria-ninja, etc. also three different ninja clans battling each other. the action is on par with todays standarts.
