As for special features I think the 2 DVD set features interviews with Chiba and some other cast members on the second DVD.

As for a place to start Ant, I would say that The Killing Machine is one of his best; not to mention one of the greatest martial arts films ever made in my estimation.

Most Jackie Chan's early stuff is great (Very fun) stuff like Wheels On Meals, My favourite Jackie Chan film. His more recent stuff though, Most of the English speaking films...LAME!

Streetfighter is classic but I think The Killing Machine is a good place to start too. It has a bit more emotional depth.

A great way to build up your Sonny Chiba collection would be to get hold of some of the better quality box-sets that are available. The downside is that many of them are now out-of-print. I was lucky enough to pick the better ones up for ridiculously cheap prices a couple of years ago, but prices have since risen considerably. Anyway I would recommend the following: Lethal Chiba [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]: Amazon.co.uk: Sonny Chiba: Film & TV Sonny Chiba: Masutatsu Oyama Trilogy DVD Region 1 US Import NTSC: Amazon.co.uk: Sonny Chiba: Film & TV Samurai Collection Featuring Sonny Chiba DVD Region 1 US Import NTSC: Amazon.co.uk: Sonny Chiba: Film & TV Sonny Chiba Collection DVD Region 1 US Import NTSC: Amazon.co.uk: Sonny Chiba: Film & TV http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...s_ohs_product_ This one is also worth consideration, although one of the Yakuza Deka films was trimmed very slightly by the BBFC: Sonny Chiba Collection Volume 1 [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Sonny Chiba: Film & TV

There is something so potent about '70s Japanese exploitation cinema.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned that he is a legit hard man, training under such masters as Sensi Oyama and Soke Hatsumi. I would love to see him take on (and wipe the floor with) Seagal.

I wish that more of his films from that golden period were available in English-friendly and officially licensed editions. Mind you, I would also like to see more films directed by Teruo Ishii and Norifumi Suzuki and the like released as well.
