Sister Street Fighter(女必殺拳,Onna Hissatsu Ken, UK title:Revenge of the Dragon, German title:Die Karate Tiger)is a spin-off ofThe Street Fighter(1974).The plot revolves around Lǐ Hóng-Lóng (李紅竜Li Kōryū), the female martial artist of the title. When her brother Lǐ Wàn-Qīng is kidnapped by drug lords, she seeks revenge. The drug lord's colorful collection of "killers" includes a toga-clad group of Thai Boxers called the "Amazons Seven", along with representatives of almost every martial art. Hóng-Lóng breaks into the drug lord's compound with the help of Seiichi Hibiki (Sonny Chiba) and other members of theShorinji Kempodojo. After all of his minions are defeated, the drug lord himself battles Hóng-Lóng, wearing a steel claw in imitation of Han, the villain fromEnter the Dragon(1973).This was the first in a trilogy of films. It was followed bySister Street Fighter: Hanging by a Thread(1974) andThe Return of the Sister Street Fighter(1975), each with Shihomi as star. Plot: When Lee Long (Hiroshi Miyauchi), ashorinji kempochampion and Hong Kong drug agent, goes missing during an investigation into the activities of a dummy corporation called Central Export, his sister, Tina (Sue Shiomi), is called in to continue the investigation in his place. On her way to Club Mandarin, she visits her uncle (Harry Kondo), who operates a restaurant, and her cousins Jerry (Tatsuya Nanjo) and Remi (Nami Tachibana). At Club Mandarin, she receives a red rose, the signal to look for Lee's partner in the investigation, Fanny Singer (Xiè Xiù-Róng). When assassins for Central Export abduct Fanny, Tina takes them on single-handedly, but they manage to capture Fanny and load her in their car, which is then hijacked by shorinji kempo student Sonny Hibachi (Sonny Chiba), who proceeds to transport her to the ballet studio operated by his girlfriend, Shinobu Kojo (Sanae Ohori). Furious at his minions for failing him, Ryozo Hayashi (Shohei Yamamoto) hires a mercenary, Hammerhead (Milton Ishibashi), to spy on the shorinji kempo school, led by Tetsudo Fujita (Asao Uchida). When Tina stops by, she's formally introduced to Sonny and another student, Emmy Kawasaki (May Hayakawa). After Sonny assures Tina that Fanny's all right, she hurries over to Kojo's ballet studio to question Fanny. After Fanny reveals that Lee was captured, she gives Tina a necklace before spasming from a lack of exposure to heroin, which she had been forcefully addicted to, as Hammerhead's minions attack the ballet studio. Tina and Kojo successfully ward them off, but Fanny is killed in a sneak attack using a poison dart. Some time later, Emmy swears the shorinji kempo school's allegiance to Tina in her investigation as she stumbles across another piece of evidence in the form of a lock of hair. Central Export's leader, Kaki (Bin Amatsu), offers Hammerhead a great reward if he disposes of Tina. After Tina clears out several minions, she encounters Hammerhead, and they fight on a bridge. Hammerhead reveals the truth to Tina, that Lee is still alive and captive in Kaki's dungeon, before sending her off the bridge into an apparent watery grave. Emmy does her own espionage work and helps Tina destroy a warehouse owned by Central Export. Though Kaki is furious at Hammerhead, he allows him and his minions to directly attack the shorinji kempo school with the hope that the attack will also lead to Tina's demise in the process. Sonny successfully wards off the ambush in a one-on-one duel against Hammerhead himself, though, and when Hammerhead subsequently sinks into a depression and starts to drink himself to death, a frustrated Kaki is forced to use her uncle against her by forcing him to divulge a false lead. Kaki believes Tina will be killed by his minions, but Tina manages to stop them. She returns to her uncle's restaurant with Emmy just as he's killed by a poison dart in front of Jerry and Remi. Tina returns to Central Export and enters the dungeon, where she extracts Lee right before a sinister minister wielding an arrow gun offs him before her eyes. Tina herself is dropped into a pit and nearly killed when Kaki ties her by her feet above a bed of spikes, but as he burns the rope she breaks free and throws his mistress onto the bed of spikes. She then proceeds to take down several more minions before confronting Hayashi and killing him by twisting his neck. Sonny, Emmy, and Kojo arrive as backup and kill many of the remaining minions, including Hammerhead. Tina takes on Kaki herself and kills him with his own claw hand.

Tiger is the owner of a brothel who moonlights as a kung fu artist under the watchful eye of "Master." They run into serious trouble whenninjasinexplicably... A nutty ninja flick full of every conceivable excitement: a cloaked baddie in a gold lamé headdress; a demonic sub-villain in a dragon mask who responds violently to flute music; springboard ninja spinning behind an array of colourful smoke bombs. You name it, this has it. The film also takes a fetishistic approach to naked flesh of both the female and male kind, but mostly male. Alexander Lo is not someone to squander the opportunity to take his shirt off and rub oil on his muscles. His bulging torso lunges back and forth towards the camera in strenuous scenes of muscle porn. His beggar sifu subjects him to a sadistic training routine which involves being tied up, downing vinegar, lacquered in snakes blood, surrounded by ice blocks and beaten with sticks. He plays a gobby orphan boy named Tiger who is basically a pimp for a local brothel who is concerned about the arrival of a neighbouring Japanese whorehouse who are stealing all his customers. A ninja sect with links to Tiger’s past show up and start causing havoc, and his master is forced to reveal the fraught truth surrounding his upbringing. Towards the end of the film it becomes clear the filmmakers aren’t entirely sure what’s happening in the story. The film is also obsessed with boobs and features the sort of lurid, protracted soft-core sex scenes usually absent from traditional chopsocky flicks. Couple this with all the fast-action ninja fighting and this is a brazen, buzzing hive of activity. Then it just stops. There are two sequels, if you think you can handle it.

In 2017, it was ranked number 3 onGamesRadar's list of 50 greatest kung fu movies of all time.It spawned an official sequel,Drunken Master II(1994), and several spin-offs. It had a significant cultural impact, inspiring numerous later films, music,manga,animeandvideo games. Plot: The plot centers on a young and mischievousWong Fei-hung(sometimes dubbed as "Freddie Wong"). Wong runs into a series of troubles. Firstly, he teaches an overbearing assistant martial arts teacher a lesson. Next, he makes advances on a woman to impress his friends, and is soundly thrashed by her older female guardian as a result; his shame is compounded when these two are later revealed to be his visiting aunt and cousin, whom he had not met before. Lastly, he beats up a hooligan who turns out to be the son of an influential man in town. His father decides to punish him for his behavior by making him train harder in martial arts. Wong's father arranges forBeggar Soto train his son in martial arts. Beggar So has a reputation for crippling his students during training so Wong flees from home in an attempt to escape his punishment. Penniless, he stops at a restaurant and tries to con a fellow patron into offering him a free meal. As he was about to leave after his meal, he discovers that the man is actually the owner of the restaurant. He fights with the owner's lackeys in an attempt to escape. An old drunkard nearby is drawn into the fight and helps him escape. The drunkard turns out to be Beggar So, the Drunken Master. (Beggar So is known in some versions of the film as Sam Seed, So Hi or Su Hua-chi) Beggar So forces Wong into his brutal and rigorous training programme. Wong flees again to avoid the torturous training and runs into the notorious killer Yim Tit-sam (known in some versions as Thunderfoot or Thunderleg) by accident. Yim is known for his "Devil's Kick", a swift and deadly kicking style which has never been defeated. Wong provokes and challenges him to a fight and is soundly defeated and humiliated. He makes his way back to Beggar So and decides to commit himself to the Drunken Master's training program. The training resumes and soon Wong learns Beggar So's secret style of martial arts, a form of Drunken Boxing called "The Eight Drunken Immortals", named after the eightxianthat the fighting style references. Wong masters seven of the eight styles with the exception ofDrunken Miss Ho's as he feels that her style of fighting is too feminine. Meanwhile, Yim Tit-sam is contracted by a business rival to kill Wong's father. Wong's father fights with Yim and is defeated and injured by him. Wong and Beggar So arrive on the scene on time and Wong continues the fight with Yim. Beggar So promises not to interfere in the fight. Wong employs the new skills he has learned and outmatches Yim's kicking style. Yim then resorts to his secret technique, the Devil's Shadowless Hand, which is too fast for Wong to defeat. Wong confesses that he did not master the last style so Beggar So tells him to combine the seven styles and create his own version of the last style. Wong follows the instruction and discovers his own unique style of Drunken Miss Ho, which he uses to overcome the Shadowless Hand and finally defeat Yim.

It starts off a bit likeScarfacewith a posse of four immigrant Mainland Chinese settling in HK and resorting to a life of crime, ruffling feathers among the local triads and the cops. The triads ship the boys over to Thailand to honour a drug deal but the local enforcement officers soon clock their whereabouts and an inevitable pursuit ensues. There’s nothing here particularly interesting, other than the name of the triad kingpin, who is called Well Hung.

The film was issued under many titles; it struggled to find adistributoruntil film presenterKroger Babbpicked up the rights, reissuing it asThe Story of Lila Leeds and Her Exposé of the Marijuana Racket. Its relative success came only after the promotionalposterswere redone and a story fabricated that the film was being presented in conjunction with theUnited States Treasury. Plot: Leeds' character is "Anne Lester", a young orphan trying to pay for her brother's college education. After meeting Markey, a drug dealer, Anne begins to believe that she must smoke marijuana to fit in with her friends. She then goes to a "tea party", where she tries the drug for the first time. She is unaffected by the initial experiment, and loses her fear of drugs as she continues to use it willingly.

The Road to Ruinis a 1934pre-Codeexploitation filmdirected byDorothy Davenport, under the name "Mrs. Wallace Reid", and Melville Shyer, and written by Davenport with the uncredited contribution of the film's producer,Willis Kent. The film, now in thepublic domain, portrays a young woman whose life is ruined by sex and drugs. Plot: Ann Dixon and Eve Monroe are high school friends. Eve is more "experienced" and shows Ann some things that are new to Ann, like smoking and drinking alcohol. Eve laughs when Ann asks her, "Do you let boys kiss you?" One weekend, Ann and Eve go to the lake with fellow high schoolers, Tommy and Ed. After what must have been Ann's first sexual experience, she cries pitifully and Tommy asks her whether she hates him. But, Ann continues to see Tommy and they go to restaurants where they drink alcohol and make out. One night while out drinking, Ralph notices Ann and likes what he sees. Noticing that her date, Tommy, has had too much to drink, he moves in on Ann. Since Tommy is out of it, Ann joins Ralph for a drink. When Tommy tries to fight Ralph, he and Ed are kicked out of the place. Ann drops Tommy, and he warns her that Ralph is "bad news for a girl like you." One night, at Ralph's home he gives Ann a "special brew" and they end up (apparently) having intercourse, since Ann has no resistance. Ann continues to see Ralph and lies to her parents about where she has been. Ann and Ralph attend a party at Brad's where most of the guests are drinking to excess. The party guests begin a game akin to strip poker, played with dice. Only the girls seem to lose their clothing, and eventually lots of the guests noisily end up in the swimming pool, lacking much of their clothes. Disgruntled neighbors are outraged and call the police. Ralph sees the cops arrive, and leaves, abandoning Ann to be arrested with Eve. Ann and Eve end up with the Mrs. Merrill, head of the Girls Division of the Juvenile Department of the police. The girls are required to be "examined" by a doctor before they can be released. The examination reveals Ann is a "Sex Delinquent." Mrs. Merrill tells Mrs. Dixon that today's youth needs the armor of knowledge and sex instruction. Later, we find out that Eve is also a sex delinquent, but she has responded successfully to "treatment." Then, we find out through innuendo that Ann is going to have a baby. She tells Ralph and finds out that he is married. He also (apparently) suggests she get an abortion. The abortion, "a clumsy, unsanitary operation" leaves Ann gravely ill. On Ann's deathbed, her mother asks Ann for forgiveness for utterly failing her; Ann quietly slips away.
