Might give one of them a go. What is it you liked about them? The action scenes? The girls? The storylines?

have you never seen the sonny chiba streetfighter flicks? in a similar vein to those

they are basically 70's actioners, the fight scenes are crude & violent

The first film is excellent, and I've heard the sequels are even better. The old (unofficial) US version isn't that badly cut... Or at least I didn't notice that many new scenes when I watched the uncut version. There's some new stuff like chiba ripping a man's guts out and and etsuko twisting a man's head 360 degrees.

It's gonna be interesting to see how the new transfers compare. HK Video, Toei and BCI all use different transfers. I was gonna get Toei releases of parts 2 and 3, but since they're so damn expensive and Cliff MacMillan said their (R1) transfers "look amazing" I though maybe I should wait for the cheap R1 box set.

Why is that considered a spoiler?

Why not? I don't want to spoil any over the top action scenes. I think such scenes work better if you don't know they're coming.

Looks great! Thanks for the link!

Will get them, hope they are available seperately as Box-Sets are a pet hate

!

I wonder if the latest Sonny Chiba Boxset has a good 'Bullet Train' transfer as the UK one is mighty disappointing with it being a suspected (bad) up-convertion from NTSC>PAL - ghosting and a slightly hazy image and seemingly not so great contrast/dark levels are evident. Can anyone confirm what was wrong with it exactly or was I right

?

Cheers again!

Bullet Train was NTSC-PAL - strange, since I have 5 of the titles in the range and they were all proper PAL - though Street Fighter was too dark for my liking
