Sonny Chiba Project
Pivotal figure in the 1970s explosion of martial arts cinema as lethal “fists for hire” trouble shooter, Takuma (Terry) Tsurugi, starring in the phenomenally popular and ultra violent “The Street Fighter” series of action films. Sonny Chiba wasn't a graceful, fluid fighter like screen icon Bruce Lee, but rather he was a ferocious machine that mowed down his opponents with his fists and feet, always with a menacing grimace on his face (from IMDB bio).
At the moment, herein you'll find a list of every film Chiba made. The main body contains those currently safe and part of the project; cameo roles will be removed as time goes by. There's also a list of films that are unsafe for one reason or another.
