5.0 out of 5 stars A great box set!, January 29, 2007

This is how they should've done the 10 Faces of Sonny Chiba box, a few years ago. The movies have their original Japanese audio, the transfer is very good, the box is very nice, and there's also an included booklet about Sue Shiomi and the director. Jam-packed with martial hijinks and zany comic book baddies, this set comes highly recommended for the choppy-socky audience.

I was presently surprised by the job BCI did with there Sister Street Fighter Collection. All 4 of Etsuko Shihomi Sister Street Fighter films are remastered, wide screen, uncensored, and in Japanese with English subtitles. BCI has also included a full color booklet with history on Sister Street Fighter. The 1st 3 Sister Street Fighter films are like a comic book come to life. Etsuko Shihomi's character Koryu Lee fights the most craziest & colorful vilians ever in martial arts film. The 4th film in this collection Sister Street Fighter: Fifth Level Fist is not really a Sister Street Fighter film. Etsuko Shihomi plays a new character Kiku in Fifth Level Fist. Fifth Level Fist does away with the comic book like villians, over the top violence and nudity that are featured in the first three films. Fifth Level Fist with its more reality based story is still a good film in its on way. It is a also good contrast to the other three films.

I'm hopeing BCI releases another boxset set of Etsuko Shihomi films in the future. A boxset containing Dragon Princess,13 Steps of Maki,The Great Chase, and The Second is a Christian would be nice.

Now, I only wished somebody would treat the Sonny Chiba Street Fighter films with as much respect in region 1. Until that happens those with multiregion DVD players can import Optimum's British Sonny Chiba Street Fighter collection.

As other reviewers have noted, this is a very well-executed box set collection. The current prices on it from Amazon sellers are a steal. Hopefully if you are looking at this product you are a fan of this genre and appreciate the older movies. If you are, you will love this set. The picture quality is better than most of the previous releases of these films and it is all presented in anamorphic widescreen in Japanese with English subs (although there is an international cast that speaks English at times in Fifth Level Fist). The included booklet is great for fans! I just wanted to add a five star review to bolster what others have already written.
