mlee Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 So I'm just wondering which Sonny Chiba movies are the best to see. Which ones would make your top 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angus88 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Cool - Sonny Chiba rocks! His karate is very powerful on screen. Ranking my favorites, I'd say - 1. The Street Fighter (I love that the Street Fighter movies are definitely Karate and not Kung-Fu, you can really tell the difference)2. Return of the Street Fighter3. Kill Bill Vol. 1 (not really a Chiba movie, but I'll include it since he was in it briefly - if only for the first fight between Uma Thurman and the black lady)4. Champion of Death (Cool movie about Mas Oyama)5. Street Fighter's Last Revenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotochem Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Sonny Rules. Definately get the streetfighter series. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorinryu Sensei Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Maybe I need to get out more...I've never even heard of the guy. I saw the "Kill Bill" previews...looked pretty cheesy and dumb to me, so I didn't waste my $'s on them. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
