Master hitman Tsurugi (Sonny Chiba) has taken another job for a gangster
family, the Owadas, & agrees to get one of them, Goh (Akira Shioji) out of
a building that is already surroundd by the police. But do thjey thank him ?
No, the Owadas have already hired a female Taiwanese fighter, Kaho (Etsuko
Shiomi of Sister Street Fighter fame) to take Tsurugi out ...
with no success, though. Tsurugi meanwhile learns that the Owadas were not
quite as concerned about their brother Goh in the first place but rather about
a tape he happened to be carrying that they planned to use to blackmail a
politician. So Tsurugi goes ahead & steals that tape from them, promising
to return it if they pay him what they owe him for saving Goh ... times ten. Of
course the Owadas are less than happy & hire a new hitman, laser-shooting
mariachi-style Black (Frankie Black), plus Aya Owada (Reiko Ike) decides to use
her female charms. None of this however amounts to much when Tsurugi loses the
tape to prosecutor gone rogue Kunigami (Koji Wada), a man of superior martial
arts skills, who has kidnapped a girl (Cathy) Tsurugi hardly knows but decides
he has to save. Kunigami however tries to sell the tape back to the Owadas,
under the condition that their leader, brother Seigen (Eizo Kitamura) leaves
Japan, & from here on it's pretty much everyone against everyone else, with
Aya trying to seduce pretty much everyone, & Taiwanese Kaho suddenly
changing sides & teaming up with Tsurugi ... not that this does her much
good, she is soon gunned down. In the end, the Owada brothers & their
hitman Black are all dead, & Tsurugi & Kunigami agree to fight it out
to the death - fair & square. Tsurugi wins, but only just, but then Aya
wants to make off with the money but fails to notice the neat little carbomb
atached to her car ... Ka-Boom. The third Street Fighter
film is probably the weakest of the bunch: Gone is Tsurugi's cruelness &
violent egocentricity, in this one he is even seen saving a girl he hardly
knows.He also seems to put a fair amount of sophistication into his work (e.g.
using a number of disguises to get the job done) that sits ill with the raw
force of nature he portrayed in the first Street
Fighter. Judged on its own, Street Fighter's Last Revenge is
an entertaining if insignificant action movie, moving at a fast pace with a
fair amount of fighting, sex & violence, & as long as you don't think
too much, it should keep you entertained.
