Chiba goes Blu

[Blu Holer]

Not a peep here about the Sonny Chiba double features released on Blu. I suppose some argument could be made that it is pointless to convert cheaply made exploitation films to Blu, being that they will never be up to par from a PQ or SQ perspective.

Still, from a film buff's point of view, it's really cool to see that someone is going to the trouble of preserving these movies and creating the best quality versions of them that they can. 'Killing Machine' and 'Sister Street Fighter' are both hugely entertaining films and classic examples of Chiba-san's brutal dramatic style. The B films on each disk are a lot of fun too and you can't beat the price of 15 bucks for 2 full features.

Anyway, to my fellow lovers of crazy psychotronic cinema, I encourage you to support these titles. As more of these smaller companies start going Blu, we will hopefully see more of these titles on the market.

Viva Exploitation!
Viva Chiba!
