I just noticed while searching for his movies.

In his honor:

"Faster then Ali. Meaner than Bruce Lee. Sonny Chiba the Street Fighter is the dirty, mean murder machine in.... The Bodyguard!"

"Sonny Chiba the Street Fighter is back as the meanest, bloodiest, most violent, ass kicking, arm ripping mother yet!"
