Alicia I love this movie so much
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
dj_bassett Actually a pretty descriptive title – the "Princess" is Sue Shiomi, Sonny Chiba's daughter, who he trains to take revenge on the men who crippled him. (Chiba himself is in this movie for all of fifteen minutes or so.) A bit choppy here and there, with some continuity errors, but it's hard to tell if that's in the original print (I saw a dubbed American release). Very loose plot turns into a variation of "your school is better than my school" and the inevitable martial arts tournament, although that's eventually dropped for just a big battle. Shiomi is attractive and seemingly a good actress, the fight choreography is mostly pretty good although there's a tendency to indulge in weirdo camera angles, and there's one great bad guy, a white-haired gentleman who's blind and goes nuts when loud noises hit. Fine of its kind.
kattcb Sonny was the next best thing out there besides Bruce. i've seen this movie back in the 80's, and i loved it. sonny is in the movie enough to make an impact. but the problem is when it came out, it was called Dragon Princess, but when you try to find it, it keeps coming up Dragon Princess but it is actually showing you Sister Street Fighter. this makes it very difficult to find to purchase. etsuko style is sooooo sonny's style. it's sad as her father trains her to take revenge on his life because he knows that he will be killed because of who he is. yes, he is very strick and hard on his daughter, but very protective of her also. a very brutal man you would think the way he is training her, but she loves him. everything that she do in her young life is in preparation for her ultimate challenge in life, her father's revenge.
AwesomeWolf Version: English dub.I found 'Dragon Princess' on a DVD titled 'Masters of Martial Arts volume 4': four movies, on two discs, for $10. Essentially, I bought 'Dragon Princess' for $2.50.'Dragon Princess' is pretty much 'Sister Street Fighter' with a different name. Etsuko Shihomi is brought up by her father, a karate master, to seek vengeance on those who disabled him. Etsuko then spends the rest of the movie beating up bad guys, with some (but minimal) assistance from Sonny Chiba.That's about it. Pretty standard revenge plot, decent fighting scenes, but the camera is shaky and its sometimes hard to make out whats happening on screen. Despite the standard plot, there is an interesting sub-plot regarding Etsuko's character 'only knowing vengeance' and having no real life, however, it was done better in 'Lady Snowblood'.5/10 - An OK karate movie.
Ratnose If you see this one for Chiba - don't!! If you wanna see an action/martial arts flick like a Sonny Chiba movie - then see it!! It has eye gouging and blood enough to please a Chiba fan. And Etsuko Shihomi is a tough chick and kicks ass very well!!!! It is rare to see female action stars in Japan - so indulge yourself to a treat! The fights are good and the story almost nonexistent, but it is great entertainment for a no-brainer evening - and she is actually quite good-looking, so an extra bonus there!!
