   Sister Street Fighter isn't any great high art, but it is a fun movie. There are some great fight sequences throughout the movie, but the movie is mostly straight cheese. There are hoaky freeze frame action sequences that look like TV advertisements for fighting styles and weapons. The movie never really seems to find it's footing, it jumps around from serious to goofy, never clearly defining itself. I was surprised by the nudity and rape scene that were seemingly just thrown in to make it a little more serious. Fans of this type of 70's grindhouse fare will eat it up, but I thought it was just barely passable.
