Karate Warriors

2 great movies for the price of 1
I have been looking forever for a widescreen print of Dragon Princess, and I finally found it! I will talk about the movies below, but first I want to talk about the grindhouse experience this disc offers. Before the double feature starts 2 original Sonny Chiba trailers are shown. After the first movie ends, 2 more trailers are shown right before the second movie begins.

DRAGON PRINCESS-

After Sonny Chiba's daughter witnesses him get beat up in a spectacular fight at the start of the movie, Sonny Chiba trains his daughter (Etsuko Shihomi) to be a karate killing machine. Sonny Chiba's role is basically only a cameo since he dies 20 minutes into the movie. So now his daughter goes to take revenge. She teams up with kung fu movie legend Yusuaki Kurata to take down the killers.

The action is fantastic. Sonny Chiba's fight at the start of the movie is the best fight in the movie, and the other fights are good. Etsuko Shihomi was one of very best...

Karate Warriors
The movie Karate Warriors was decent by Sonny Chiba. It was not the 75% of a fighting kung fu movie that I expected. It had a nice plot though. One guy complained that it could be bought cheaper in a store. Hea, if so, do like I did. Buy the Prime time from Amazon and get it even cheaper.

Anyway, good plot, the sound and picture were good too. I saw some reviews that complained about this. But otherwise, a movie worth watching anyway.

This an excellent film if you're a Sonny Chiba fan.The story is based on Kurasawa's the bodyguard.Its the perfect plot for this type of film.
