Granted this movie is old, actually one year older than me, then it is actually not all that outdated. How so? Well, because this movie was essentially just an hour and twenty minutes of Sue Shiomi beating up everyone she met while going from A to B.
The storyline was so weak and translucent that it was almost non-existing. Lee Long has been imprisoned and kept in a drug-induced stupor, and it is up to Lise to free him. That was the storyline.
For a martial arts movie from 1974 I suppose the fighting was good back then, but for today's standards and in comparison to what is seen in movies now, then it bleaks and is not noteworthy.
The sounds in the movie were just hilarious and outrageous, fully exaggerated beyond anything even remotely realistic, as it was in so many other older martial arts movies. I suffered through a horrible English dubbed version of the movie. Anything dubbed instantly drops in entertainment value in my opinion, and the DVD didn't even have audio options to switch to the original language.
"Sister Street Fighter" (aka "Onna hissatsu ken") is a movie enjoyable primarily for hardcore fans of martial arts movies from ages past.
