Movies that feel like The Street Fighter (1974)
Takuma Tsurugi takes on the government, the police, the mafia and an international ring of kidnappers who aim to dispossess a beautiful young heiress of her millions.
If you loved The Street Fighter, the closest films we have are In the Line of Duty 4 (1989), Branded to Kill (1967) and Battles Without Honor and Humanity (1973). All three share The Street Fighter's kinetic and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Across 110th Street (1972).
