The Street Fighter's Last Revenge (1979)

I didn't enjoy the Mission: Impossible-esque silliness that popped up from time to time, making the Takuma Tsurugi character seem almost like some kind of wannabe super-spy, but when Chiba leads with his deadly fists it makes Tsurugi feels authentic again. Along the way he has run-ins with a martial artist whose skills are greater than the Streetlighter's own, and another whose skills are lesser - both of them cause him problems. In addition, there's some double-crossing, a corrupt politician, and a small item that everyone with something to lose (or gain) is desperate to get their hands on.
