The Street Fighter (1974)
(Gekitotsu! Satsujin ken)

"Terry is a tough, mercenary, master of martial arts. When an important business magnate dies, leaving billions to his daughter, the Mafia and Yakuza try to hire Terry to kidnap the daughter. When they refuse to meet his exorbitant price, then try to kill him to conceal their secret plans, he promptly offers his services to protect her. Much ultra-violent martial-arts fighting action, as expected, ensues. This also includes a subplot of a family's bloodfeud with Terry over a disputed debt." -imdb.com

1974 is 34 years ago. The ages of the different actors in this movie, for 1974, positions the martial arts of the old way , the true fighter warrior way. I would guess the fighters, who are acting, truly fighting with a learned fighter art, learned their trade from the masters who were born before 1900, or just a little after.
A solid style of fighting, always on the defence, always capitalizing on the brash weakness of the reckless fighter, the fighter that has no cause. The message of the movie, the lone wolf, the warrior, the man who makes war with no fear, who makes war to right a wrong. A very solid movie. It is the code of the true, the code of the warrior, the code of his word, as the ending shows us. I would hope that some of the movies' actors are still living today. That they pass down their style, their code, their knowledge, to those that have earned the right, that are chosen, to carry the style into todays school of Karate Fighting. A classic movie. Thankyou for letting me watch.
