Sister Street Fighter (女必殺拳 Onna Hissatsu Ken?) is a spin off of The Street Fighter (1974). The plot revolves around Lǐ Hóng-Lóng (李紅竜 Li Kōryū), the female martial artist of the title. When her brother Lǐ Wàn-Qīng is kidnapped by drug lords, she seeks revenge. The drug lord's colorful collection of "killers" includes a toga-clad group of Thai Boxers called the "Amazons Seven", along with representatives of almost every martial art. Hóng-Lóng breaks into the drug lord's compound with the help of Seiichi Hibiki (Sonny Chiba) and other members of the Shorinji Kempo dojo. After all of his minions are defeated, the drug lord himself battles Hóng-Lóng, wearing a steel claw in imitation of Han, the villain from Enter the Dragon (1973). Similarly like the spin-off series of Street fighter films Sister Street Fighter was rated X when came to America and was then cut of 6 mins of footage. Cuts included Koryu turning one opponent's head 180 degrees and making him walk down the stairs with his head twisted backwards, Inubashiri's face after Hibiki smashes it into a mirror killing him, Hibiki ripping out a overweight opponent's intestines, Koryu stabbing the drug lord Kakuzaki with his own claw hand in the chest or stomach which causes blood to spurt out everywhere.

Reception

The film is generally well-received. Fans cite Hiroshi Miyauchi's excellent martial arts skills and the variety of battle. Detractors state there is flat acting and over-reliance on wire special effect, especially during the final battle. Also, Sonny Chiba's "Tsurugi" character doesn't appear, despite the English title.[2]
