After the massive success of The Street Fighter, the Toei Company decided to buiId a new karate series around a femaIe Iead, and cast a young actress who had appeared in a cameo roIe aIongside her mentor Sonny Chiba. StiII a teenager at the time, Etsuko Shihomi exploded onscreen in her first Ieading roIe and created a new character type: a tough fighter who was fierce, fearless, good-hearted, and decidedly non-sexuaIised, a departure from Toei s typical formula.
ln 1974 s Sister Street Fighter, Shihomi is the half-Chinese, haIf-Japanese Li Koryu, who travels to Yokohama to investigate the disappearance of her brother, an undercover cop. Li discovers a smuggling ring run by a drug Iord with his own personaI army of deadIy fighters, and must penetrate his evil Iair with the heIp of a felIow karate master (played by Chiba). Shihomi and director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (Wolf Guy) made two additional films based on the same character over the next year, Sister Street Fighter: Hanging By A Thread and Return Of The Sister Street Fighter, with a final unreIated follow-up (Sister Street Fighter: Fifth Level Fist) helmed by original Street Fighter director Shigehiro Ozawa appearing in 1976.
Genre entertainment of the highest order, the Sister Street Fighter fiIms are a wild ride through some of the best expIoitation cinema Japan produced in the 1970s. Funky and over-the-top, fiIled with walI-to-waII action, and featuring some of the craziest viIIains ever depicted onscreen, the series embodies femaIe power in a male-dominated genre and is a magnificent showcase for the physical presence and martial arts skills of its lead star.
