Sonny Chiba

When it comes to raw fury nothing tops the human dynamo that is Sonny Chiba. Here are four of his rarest and best films to showcase his talent for causing damage.

Starting with the cult classic Soul Of Chiba where he uses techniques that are still copied to this day by films such as 300, Chiba unleashes a whirlwind of dead and destruction while tracking down his teacher’s killers.

In Fighting Fist, Chiba is joined by Hong Kong’s finest Sibelle Hu and Chin Kar Lok to smash down gangsters. And Dirty Harry has a soul brother in Doberman Cop, where Chiba takes on all comers with fists, knives and a very big gun. His brother Jiro joins him to take on the crime lords of Tokyo in Machine Gun Dragon.
