About Sister Street Fighter: Hanging by a Thread
Koryu heads to Yokohama in search of a woman named Birei, kidnapped by diamond smugglers who move their hot rocks by surgically implanting them into the nubile buttocks of Chinese prostitutes. Koryu's older sister, working as a jewelry designer, is secretly, if unhappily, involved with the gangsters.
Directed by Kazuhiko Yamaguchi, Sister Street Fighter: Hanging by a Thread leans on a strong ensemble — Etsuko Shihomi, Tamayo Mitsukawa, Hideo Murota — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1974.
