Sister Street Fighter - Movie Review

Sister Street Fighter - Sue Shiomi

One of the many wonderful things about the Pub-D-Hub channel is big selection of movies it offers. I was surfing through the Action/Adventure section and saw the movie Sister Street Fighter.

It features the 18 year old gymnast and martial artist Sue Shiomi. She plays Tina Long, a martial arts expert who agrees to go undercover for the Hong Kong police.  I don't recall seeing another action movie from the 1970's that features a woman in this type tough and heroic role. You can't help but cheer her on as she defeats the over-the-top bad guys. The print on Pub-D-Hub has a running time of 1h 20m and cuts short some of the the most violent and explicit scenes in the movie. I'm not complaining, I was grateful.

While I am not a big fan of this type of film I enjoyed Sister Street Fighter. Sometimes I was amazed by the stunts, sometimes I laughed till I cried (ie. the bad guy with the nunchucks and the awful hairdo). If you just can't get enough of this movie there is a boxed set with all three SSF movies.
