What they share

Both films are directed by Shigehiro Ozawa, and they sit in Action / Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sister Street Fighter: Fifth Level Fist, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Return of the Street Fighter is

Osaka. Cicadas. A spilled bowl of rice. Takuma Tsurugi, back on the scene. Both cops and Yakuza want him down, but Tsurugi's got his own beef with mobsters pinching from charities. Ozawa's entry in the bloody Sonny Chiba franchise doesn't stint on the red stuff.
