The Street Fighter: Difference between revisions

All installments (and the first ''Sister Streetfighter'' movie) were released by New Line Cinema between 1974 and 1979. The first two were initially made available on home video by [[Metro Goldwyn Mayer|MGM/CBS Home Video]], and the other two were released on home video by Charles Band's Wizard Video in 1982 and 1983, respectively. All four were later released by New Line Home Video in 1996. ''Sister Streetfighter 2: Hanging by a Thread'' finally made its US debut in 2008 on [[Blu-Ray]] as a double feature with the first film.

Should not be confused with the video game series [[Street Fighter]].

 

* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type V]]. Terry is a brutal and pitiless man. He's especially nasty in the beginning of the first film, where he sells a girl into slavery and kills her brother when they're not able to pay him for services rendered. He avoids [[Villain Protagonist]] territory by fighting against [[Yakuza]], whom he despises, and working to protect the good guys, even though he does so for his own reasons. He's more of a Type IV in ''The Streetfighter's Last Revenge''.

* [[Artistic License Martial Arts]]: Some of the moves in the movie can occasionally look pretty outlandish and improbable. It's especially jarring compare to Sonny Chiba's more realistic movies and the fact that he created the JAC/JAE later to promote realistic fighting techniques in Japanese movies and television shows.
