| | The Nexus of My Lucha and Ninja Worlds - Part 87
Sonny Chiba (ninja cinema's best Jubei Yagyu) sensationalized the life of karate troublemaker Mas Oyama in three brutal flicks, now available on DVD under their grindhouse titles Karate Bull Fighter, Karate Bear Fighter, and finally Karate For Life.
[Assassin knock-offs vs. the Streetfighter... note the nasty thatch of backhair on the skinnier hood!!!]
The thrid film tells of Oyama's exploits working for a crooked fight promoter in Okinawa, including him shooting on three masked wrestlers, and real-life American champs Eddie Sullivan and Tarzan Tyler.
[According to the Adness liner notes, this is real-life wrestler Snake Amami playing his finely hooded self. Too bad a karate bad-ass is about to hulk-up and poke his eye out!]
So, this is sort of a ninja victory over the masked wrestlers... hmmmmmm...
