Reminiscent of the previous film ("The Streetfighter') with essentially the same plot. "Takuma Tsurugi" (Sonny Chiba) accepts a job for the mafia which requires him to get inside a police station to kill a prisoner before he can talk. Once that is accomplished he is then offered more money for another assignment. But he refuses. Figuring that he knows too much the mafia decides to assassinate him. Again, if you've seen "The Streetfighter" then this plot is very familiar. Anyway, like most martial arts films the action is paramount and this film definitely delivers. However, the dialogue is bad, his accomplice "Pin Boke" (Yoko Ichiji) is annoying and a couple of the scenarios are just too unrealistic. Likewise, the flashbacks (to the previous film) seem more of a nuisance than anything else. In short, if you like martial arts films then you might enjoy this one. But it lacks originality and because of the other criticisms I don't believe this is one of the better ones out there.
