- Alternate versionsUnlike the previous two Street Fighter films, The Street Fighter's Last Revenge has only been available in America in a cut R-rated version. While the overall uncensored film isn't as violent as the first two films in the series, several segments of violence had to be removed to obtain an R-rating as opposed to an X: -A shot where Tsurugi attacks a mobster, causing him to spit out bile (presumably), and telling him he has only an hour to live -In the shot where Tsurugi crushes Go Owada's neck with his foot, the shot is prolonged in the uncut Japanese version. Tsurugi crushes down further on his neck, plus the shot of the dying Owada's face is longer and is more revealing to the fact that his head is nearly detached. -Near the end of the film when Kunigami ridge-hand chops Seigen Owada in the head, the reaction is longer, showing a stream of blood flowing from his head wound -When Tsurugi defeats Kunigami in the finale, the shot is extended in two segments. The first segment shows blood leaking onto Tsurugi from Kunigami's stomach wound, while the second segment shows the aftermath of what Tsurugi has torn from his stomach. Aside from this, a lot of scenes in the film had been re-arranged for the American release, so the sequence of events are in a different overall order. The original Japanese cut was finally released on Region 2 DVD in England in January of 2005, featuring the above mentioned shots, as well as some extended bits of dialogue, and the original scene order. Prior to this release, the only video version containing this cut was a first-release VHS in Japan. Despite this being the "X rated" cut in America, this version of the film was only given a "15" certificate in England.

Featured review
The Street Fighter's Last Revenge (1974) is a movie in my DVD collection that I recently rewatched on Tubi. The storyline follows karate icon Tsurugi who is hired by the government to retrieve a tape with details on how to make a special blend of heroin. When he's double crossed he looks for revenge on those who set him up.
This movie is directed by Shigehiro Ozawa (Sister Street Fighter: Fifth Level Fist) and stars Sonny Chiba (Kill Bill), Reiko Ike (Sex & Fury), Yutaka Nakamura (Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance), Kôji Wada (Stray Cat Rock: Delinquent Girl Boss) and Tatsuo Endô (Audition).
This is definitely the worst of the trilogy but still has many of the elements that made the series so great. The soundtrack is excellent, the dialogue is hilarious and the training scenes are a lot of fun. Chiba remains as ruthless as ever and you can't have a Street Fighter movie without a legendary fight sequence in the rain. The final fight is worthwhile but the plot and premise did lack and feel like an excuse to make another Street Fighter movie.
Overall, this movie doesn't live up to the greatness of the first film and is even a step down from the second picture but is still worth a viewing. I would score this a 5-5.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
