Sonny Chiba Box Sets

[Gaijin84]

I had no idea there were so many Chiba collections out there, they began to take over the Kung Fu Box Sets thread... creating its own topic for this, copying/deleting the info.

The Sonny Chiba Collection - 6 Film Set

http://www.amazon.com/Sonny-Chiba-Collection/dp/B000WC38PK/ref=sr_1_3?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1282210301&sr=1-3

Are these anamorphic?

Also, are there anamorphic DVDs of The Street Fighter saga?

I haven't seen ANY Chiba flicks (I know, I know...). I mean, I've seen bits and pieces, but never in their entirety.

Never too late, right?

Very true chap. It is NEVER too late to check out the movies of Chiba-San :xd:

To confirm - the Sonny Chiba 6 Pack is indeed anamorphic, and the Optimum release of the Street Fighter series is also remastered and Anamorphic :bigsmile:

Thanks. =D

BTW, any R1/R0 version of Street Fighter with the same specs (remastered/anamorphic) as the Optimum?

No that I've seen, unless Pan Media has copied it.

No, the only other box set of the Street Fighter that i've seen as Anamorphic is this, but again, it's R2 :squigglemouth:

Streetfighter - L'intégrale (http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm-110676/dvd-blu-ray/)
I've heard people refer to this as the best version that is availible of the Street Fighter films! Also, just realised that I completely forgot to add this before!

Thank you for the info. =D

If only this set was released in the USA. All we get are the TERRIBLE R1 releases that look like VHS's recorded with a handycam.

[QueMuchita]

I have these two Sonny Chiba sets, lacks some of his better films though.

When Kill Bill came out, they released tons of boxed Ciba sets in the USA. But for some reason they didn't seem to release his best ones! They were mainly boxed sets of cameo's he did! And most seemed to not be anamorphic!

If only We could get the Streetfighter Boxed set (anamorphic 16:9!)

All of the official releases were anamorphic and remastered!

And included some of his best ones, like Karate Bearfighter and The Killing Machine.

Only the unofficial bootlegs were non-anamorphic. The Street Fighter was included among those - by several companies.

Owning three different official, anamorphic dvds of The Street Fighter I somehow can't sympathise with your problem so much. The lack of Blu-Ray is a shame, though.
