I’ve gone off steelbooks because the market has been saturated

It's a strange one really. Over the years i've bought it three times and got rid of it after each viewing.

It's been an Amazon 1p purchase for years and years on dvd.

I'd say yes get it in a five for £30 offer but don't pay full price for it. It's no worse a film than Satan's Blade or Blood Rage for example and far superior to Microwave Massacre.

NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: Sister Street Fighter Collection (Blu-ray)

Genre entertainment of the highest order, the Sister Street Fighter films are a wild ride through some of the best exploitation cinema Japan produced in the 1970s.

Release dates: March 4/5

"After the massive success of The Street Fighter, the Toei Company decided to build a new karate series around a female lead, and cast a young actress who had appeared in a cameo role alongside her mentor Sonny Chiba. Still a teenager at the time, Etsuko Shihomi exploded onscreen in her first leading role and created a new character type: a tough fighter who was fierce, fearless, good-hearted, and decidedly non-sexualised, a departure from Toei’s typical formula.

In 1974’s Sister Street Fighter, Shihomi is the half-Chinese, half-Japanese Li Koryu, who travels to Yokohama to investigate the disappearance of her brother, an undercover cop. Li discovers a smuggling ring run by a drug lord with his own personal army of deadly fighters, and must penetrate his evil lair with the help of a fellow karate master (played by Chiba). Shihomi and director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (Wolf Guy) made two additional films based on the same character over the next year, Sister Street Fighter: Hanging By A Thread and Return Of The Sister Street Fighter, with a final unrelated follow-up (Sister Street Fighter: Fifth Level Fist) helmed by original Street Fighter director Shigehiro Ozawa appearing in 1976.

Genre entertainment of the highest order, the Sister Street Fighter films are a wild ride through some of the best exploitation cinema Japan produced in the 1970s. Funky and over-the-top, filled with wall-to-wall action, and featuring some of the craziest villains ever depicted onscreen, the series embodies female power in a male-dominated genre and is a magnificent showcase for the physical presence and martial arts skills of its lead star.

SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS:
• High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentations of all four films
• Original uncompressed Japanese mono audio
• Original English dubbed audio for Sister Street Fighter
• New optional English subtitle translation for all four films
• English SDH subtitles for the English dub for Sister Street Fighter
• New video interviews with actor Shinichi “Sonny” Chiba, director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi, and screenwriter Masahiro Kakefuda
• Original Japanese theatrical trailers for all four films
• Original U.S. theatrical trailer for Sister Street Fighter, plus original English opening titles to the film
• Original German theatrical trailer for Sister Street Fighter, plus original German opening titles to the film • Stills and poster gallery
• Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Kungfubob O’Brien
• FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Illustrated booklet featuring writing on the series by Patrick Macias and a new essay on the U.S. release of Toei’s karate films by Chris Poggiali"


I'm all over that, although the US box set was great for the time as well.

And me. I would really like the Ring, Larraz and Sister Street Fighter boxsets even though I have the Blue Underground Vampyres BD, plus Strip Nude for Your Killer and Schlock. I've never seen Kolobos, so will probably wait until it's in the 5 for £30 at HMV.

Wallet decimating line up for me. Interested in everything, less so the Sister Street Fighter Collection, it might be a casualty of budget, but I intend to pick it up if I can. I'll even be importing Strip Nude For Your Killer, which I love way more than I should. It's such an entertaining giallo. I hate having to import Arrow's releases though, it's very far from that £12.50 sweet-spot we pay here. I recently picked up Torso, and they did a fantastic job with that, I hope we see a similar upgrade over the BU release.

Curious about Kolobos, it sounds remarkably similar in synopsis to My Little Eye, which came out three years later to lots of people hailing its originality. Very interested to check it out.

The Larraz set is the most exciting to me. Can't wait for that, and the potential follow up set.

Amazing line up, might re watch at least Ring 1&2 to see if they re worth the upgrade.
