How is the quality overall? are they all widescreen, and finally, are the 3 street fighter movies in the set UNCUT? thanks!

1- Street Fighter: Widescreen
2- Legend of the eight Samurai: Standard
3- Return of the Street Fighter: Widescreen
4- The Bodyguard: Standard
5- Street Fighter last Revenge: Widescreen
6- Shogun's Ninja: Widescreen
7- Sister Street Fighter: Widescreen
8- Dragon Princes: Standard
9- Samurai Reincarnation: Standard
10- Karate Warriors: Standard

Quality is good for the price...the Street Fighter flicks look the best...the rest vary...but for $20...its a great deal! Its a great deal just for the Street Fighter flicks...but then another 6 flicks just makes is uber cool man! Get it! Sonny is god!

you can check here for details: Chiba

you get what you pay for. I agree that the set is very un-even in terms of picture quality....but the SF films are in widescreen, for what it's worth. 16 hours of Chiba for that price? it's still a great deal, especially those just getting into Chiba. to the best of my knowledge...the SF films appear to be uncut and look pretty decent.

thanks for all the help.

I believe there are new Anamorphic transfers of the SF films coming out...forget where I read it at...I read a review a couple a months ago...

And get this set! like Gut said...16 hours of Chiba for $20 is a steal!

I probably will end up getting it. Either that 10 film set, or the 3 Street Fighter movies on 1 disc I saw at Suncoast for 9.99. Hell maybe both.

I suggest getting the 10 DVD Set...one because I believe the picture quality on the single disc is not good at all...and you get 10 movies...and all 4 SF films in decent to good quality in widescreen...

the one-discer features the same transfers...just fyi. I have that set also.

also have:

Is that put out by Diamond?

Are these subtitled or dubbed?

dubbed...its gonna be hard to find these flicks subtitled

If you're only interested in the SF films, VCI puts out a 2-disc set called The Street Fighter Saga with all 4 films on 2 double-sided discs. I have it and the quality is pretty good (all are widescreen), especially for the price: $12.00 @ DDD.

Okay, so can any of these be had in OAR and subtitled. I've picked up so many kung-fu films only to read the specs and put them back on the shelf. I know that I watched them this way every Samurai Sunday here, but I think they can certainly do more with these films now.

The only subtitled Street Fighter I'm aware of was the New Line laser disc (it had both the Japanese and English language tracks). The others were English dubbed only. I'm not sure if they still own the rights to the films, but if they do, I wish they would give these a proper DVD release.

And it's only $11.99 at deepdiscountdvd.

I might check it out for that price. I've never seen any of the dude's films, but I've been meaning to check him out ever since I watched True Romance.

yea same here. i'm hoping with the success of kill bill, we'll see some company step up and put out proper releases

Sonny Chiba is just plain frickin awesome! He's up there with Bruce Lee for me!

I have some crappy disc of SF/RoSF, but I think I'm going to grab the 0 Faces set instead after reading this thread.

I just picked up that Diamond release of Street Fighter/Return of Street Fighter today for 5.99. Does anyone know any place online where I can order the other DIAMOND 2 on 1 release of Street Fighter's Last Revenge and Sister Street Fighter?

$11 for this many Chiba films is a no-brainer for anyone with even a scintilla of film geekdom in them. I just learned about this here and placed my order at DDD.

Dont waste your time with the Diamond releases people! Just get the 10 Faces set!

deepdiscountdvd, here i come. i've been meaning to place an order, this is icing on an expensive cake.

You are all aware that thoese Chiba box sets are NOT authorized and are probably boots? The wdiescreen STREETFIGHTER masters are fromt he old New Line LD/vhs?

There is a legit KILLING MACHINE coming out later this year I believe.

Aren't the Street Fighter movies and possibly the other Chiba movies all public domain? I remember reading that somewhere, but I can't seem to find it right now.

I may get that set down the line, but I ran into the Diamond Street Fighter/Return of at Suncoast the other day and I was really suprised about the overall quality, well seeing that I paid 5.99 for it.
