This review is from: Welcome to the Grindhouse: The Bodyguard/Sister Street Fighter (DVD)

Interestingly enough, I got this release more for the Sonny Chiba film. While I couldn't stomach the maudlin and overblown Whitney Houston remake, I was genuinely curious, after enjoying some other Chiba films (Bullet Train in particular is a highly recommended entry) to see how this one went. And while it is a huge improvement over the lousy Hollywood pastiche that followed, it's rather more dull than I would have hoped or expected as a longtime fan of Japanese action cinema (both chambara/samurai and 'modern day' 70's crime flicks).

On the other hand, Sister Street Fighter was great, and a real gem of its type - highly recommended for fans of the recent Pinky Violence set and films like Zero Woman: Red Handcuffs. Good stuff.

This review is from: Welcome to the Grindhouse: The Bodyguard/Sister Street Fighter (DVD)

This was the first double feature I have bought under this title and I must say it was the start of a new film viewing habit. I bought a 20 film box set labled Grindhouse as well and I couldn't even see the people in the films due to a horrible tape to dvd transfer. If you're looking for the quality to accompany the stink of such rotten awesome movie cheese then this is the Grindhouse to get with.
