Another
entry in Adness/Ventura's spectacular Sonny Chiba Collection
(check "Chiba" in the search engine for more).
Based
on the life of Masutatsu Oyama, world-renown karate guru and creator of
Kyokushin-style karate. The Karate Society of Japan ostracizes Oyama after
fighting both a bull and a bear (see previous entries). Being well known
all over Japan, Oyama is approached by a promoter looking for talent for
an exhibition. Accompanied by Fujita, a judo expert, Oyama joins the fight
circuit. However, when he's told that he's supposed to "throw a fight,"
the karate champ refuses to cooperate.
