Return of the Street Fighter (殺人拳２ Satsujin ken 2) is a 1974 martial arts film and the second in a series starting with The Street Fighter starring Sonny Chiba. In this sequel, Martial artist Takuma Tsurugi returns to take on a Yakuza family that may be embezzling money from charities to finance their own operations. Both the police and the Yakuza find themselves battling Tsurugi, but Tsurugi's fight ultimately is with the mob, and he concentrates on them.
The film was initially released on home video by MGM/CBS Home Video and later by New Line Home Video. It has since fallen into the public domain and has been released on DVD by various companies, sometimes as part of a double feature that also includes the first film.
