Executioner Collection Sonny Chiba Karate Inferno II 2 Blu-ray Arrow Street Fighter

A bone-crunching double whammy of classic karate exploitation from Toei and Sonny Chiba!

Introducing Arrow Video's Limited Edition Blu-ray release for The Executioner Collection, which will include 1974’s The Executioner and The Executioner II: Karate Inferno – both directed by Teruo Ishii (Blind Woman’s Curse) starring International martial arts star, Sonny Chiba (Soul of Chiba, Kill Bill Vol 1).

Making its High Definition home video debut, The Executioner is presented in both its original Japanese language version and with the English dub track from the 1970s North American release. Fans of the Street Fighter star will delight as Chiba pitches himself into a succession of freewheeling action and feisty fight scenes in this double dish of martial arts mayhem, all served up in director Ishii’s characteristically lurid style. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: An all-region Blu-ray player is required to view this movie. Standard U.S. Blu-ray players will NOT read Region B discs. If you're looking for a reliable all-region player, we've got you covered!
