This guy was inventing submissions when Royce was in diapers
Looks like be blew out an O Ring at the end.
The Street Fighter was probably thee best MA movie ever made.
I love his nut grab twist and shout...then he shows the guy his ripped off gonads...Terry Tsurugi is the best kung fu antihero evar...I never understood why the Jpanese didn't make more Karate films...
I love Chiba films....Just got a copy of Golgo 13 - can't wait to check it out.

Man that brings back memories...I used to love playing Golgo 13 on the NES, that game kicked ass!
I need to rip my DVD of Return of the Street Fighter so I can GIF the part where he gets drunk and goes berserk
chiba was truly inspirational! there wouldnt be modern mma if it wasnt for him and his teachings!
ttt for sonny chiba, the godfather of modern mma.
He fucking rips the horns off a raging bull in one movie. Badass shit. One of the first to say that hard sparring was superior to katas.

Yeah, its an odd one but basically the Japanese film industry was still reeling in the 70's and 80's, trying to get a footing versus the tv market, which had stolen much of their audience. Thats why you see so many Japanese movie stars of the era also have short run tv series. Basically, it wasnt until the 80's home video boom that the studios were saved.
Martial films were a trend you'd think they'd try to exploit more, but basically the studios cranked out more crime/gangster/yakuza action films because those were more popular with Japanese audiences.
Sonny Chiba is the shit!
The other guy in this scene reminds me of the UG in general
He obvisuly was master submission.
Listen to his nreathing, he almost choked himself a few times.
You have to show some video of when he hits thugs so hard, it goes into like an xray mode where you see the actual bones been shattered to pieces.
Very creative. Hasn't been done since.
Does anyone have a gif from The Street Fighter where he punches that guy in the mouth and the dude spits out like all of his teeth? That fuckin owned lol

I downloaded it to make the armbar GIF, I'll see what I can do
Did he do an X-Ray punch in one of his movies? Slow motion punch to the top of the skull and they actually showed an X-Ray of it.
Fantastic
Well, I don't know how or why I am saying this. If though in that movie they did an "x-ray effect", then in fact maybe the creators of the video game released by the Capcom compnay did get the inspiration for a movie in their game where the opponent is shown in like an x-ray flash, after a hit. You know what I am talking about.
ttt for CHIBA!

Hmm, I really need to learn how to make animated GIFs. I have both of the Sonny Chiba Street Fighter movies on DVD and wouldn't mind making some GIFs.

Wasnt there supposed to be an X rating on one of them because they were so violent for their time? You can only get edited version now..or is that bs
