Rarely do you see so much nonsense in one movie. Just about everything about this grindhouse film is below average, from fight scenes, music, to dialogue, editing and humor. Much also seems to be improvised. When a fighter shouts just before dying: "Please take care of my car payments" you already know enough. Honestly, I thought it was more of an action comedy than a martial arts movie. The fights are cartoonish and not artistic. Take for example that scene where Chiba rips a rib out of someone's chest... he's standing there with a bleeding piece of bone in his hand! There must be an audience for these kinds of movies, but I like the Street Fighter movies much better.
