I made a new banner for my Wordpress. It is terrific. Now let me tell you this. Toei made some pretty dope movies in the 70's, courtesy of Sonny Chiba. I just watched Sister Street Fighter, a spin-off of Chiba's The Street Fighter, a while back. It was something you could not not love, besides how the final fight was done with wires. Terrific martial arts mixed in with the aesthetic of a exploitation film you'd see in a grindhouse theater. Crime lords, drugs, and topless chicks (They were unfortunately all ugly.)

Also, there was this rape scene I did not really appreciate watching but that's okay the rapist got disemboweled in the end. Back to the brighter spots of the movie, the main character, Li Koryu played by Etsuko Shihomi (psst, that's a girl), wears a rainbow belt under her white martial arts outfit. That is "kawaii desu ne." Gotta love her killer nunchuk skills too. It was also hilarious seeing Kamen Rider V3's actor as her brother and Gavan's actor as a random mook. The music composer was even the same as the one who composed the 70's Kamen Rider series. It is amazing to see the connection between exploitation flicks and kid's live action TV series. I am in love with this movie.
