Wissenswertes

  • Gedreht in: Japan

The Street Fighter is a 1974 Japanese martial arts film produced by Toei Company, directed by Shigehiro Ozawa, and starring Sonny Chiba. It was released in the United States by New Line Cinema and became one of the first films to be a commercial success for the distributor. It is notable as the first film to receive an X-rating in the US solely for violence.

Production

During the final year of production of Sonny Chiba's show Key Hunter, Chiba met with Bruce Lee through mutual friends and began discussing working on a film project together as Key Hunter was quite popular in Hong Kong. Due to Chiba's schedule discussion of the film had to be put off and it was only upon Chiba's return to Hong Kong where he'd learned of Lee's death.

Filming took place on-location in Tokyo, and Toei Studios in Kyoto. The production also shot exterior location footage in Hong Kong.

The martial arts director for the film was Shōrin-ryū Seibukan master Masafumi Suzuki, who also acts in the film as Sensei Kendō Masaoka. Gōgen Yamaguchi was also a technical consultant for the film. Unusually, the film credits separate fight direction for the different martial arts styles displayed, with separate credits for wrestling (Tsutomu Harada, Reggy Jones) and kickboxing (Ken Kazama) direction.
