Guest SChiba_200X Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Does anyone have information regarding this Yasuaki Kurata film? It was mentioned briefly in Patrick Macias's notes on the Sister Street Fighter series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member venoms5 Posted January 16, 2008 Member Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't have it but there's a VHS tape of it out there in Japanese only though. The poster is very beautiful. Kurata fights the tiger in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Alex Posted January 16, 2008 Member Share Posted January 16, 2008 i've only ever seen a poster of this film, but it's a very cool poster I believe you can get a copy with subs from revengeismydestiny.com, although i think it's fairly expensive and i'm not sure of the quality also, there is a chinese film from that time with a very similar title which also stars Kurata, so beware of the confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hanzorazor Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 You are very welcome. I've only seen the flashlegs version of the movie, thought it was somewhat disappointing. The fight scenes aren't that great and the scenes with the tiger aren't exactly convincing to say the least. Kurata does the job but he has definitely been in better movies than this.

Member AlbertV Posted January 30, 2008 Member Share Posted January 30, 2008 Is this the one they also called Dragon's Claws and credited Kurata-san as "Bruce Lo"? Nice poster too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yakuza954 Posted January 30, 2008 Member Share Posted January 30, 2008 No this is aka Which is Stronger Karate or Tiger. I wrote about it a while back. The fights aren't great (this was made in Japan in the early 70's, after all) but it's cool to see Kurata in a lead role and the movie is entertaining. If I had to rate it, I'd put it below the Street Fighter films but above the Sister Street Fighter films in terms of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
