Flicks: Sister Street Fighter (1974)

Sister Street Fighter teams up with Sonny Chiba to face Reiko Ike and Jun Jo.

Sonny Chiba, reprising his role as Terry "#1 Man" Tsurugi appears for the second half this great chop sockey/crime-action movie. Production values are slightly better with more characters and Toei studio actors appearing including a hokey Hong Kong heroin boss and Japanese actress and model Reiko Ike. It should be noted that Reiko Ike was a cult persona herself. Reiko had also co-starred in Street Fighter's Last Revenge (1974) with Chiba as well as two very successful "pinky" (Japsploitation) movies: The Sex And Fury (1973) and Female Yakuza Tale (1971).

In Sister Street Fighter, Jun Jo, minus the trach box from Return of Sreet Fighter appears as another different-but-still-evil karate master-villain in another blockbuster kung fu epic. This film was followed by The Street Fighter's Last Revenge (1974), which featured much higher production values as the genre earned more money for Toei and international distributors.

Actresses: Reiko Ike

The mysterious Reiko Ike walked away from acting forever in 1979.

Reiko Ike, born in 1953 in Toyko, became an international sensation every bit as big as Angela Jolie for her film roles as Ocho a female Yakuza with unparalleled fighting skills. Reiko, a very beautiful woman even among the high standards set by Japanese film actresses, was known for her amazing choreography in elaborate fight scenes and her stunt work in films such as The Sex and The Fury (1973), Female Yakuza Tale (1973) and in Sonny Chiba's The Street Fighter's Last Revenge (1974).

After drug and gambling arrests in the late 1970's she quit acting. Reiko made her last film at age 26. Little else is known about her private life, or her life in general, since she walked away from Toei Studios in 1979.
