The Lone Wolf and Cub series are digital transfer, translated and subtitled by AnimEigo and they did a wonderful job. "way cool" too many things to mention here so i'll be breif on this movie my friend at the dojo which I ask him about the Samurai movies he told me to buy this tape. a lot of bloodbath, in order to take revenge on behalf of his wife against the yagyu.who frame him ,no one could blocked his swinging sword. He also played as the yakusa on "Black rain" oldman playing golf,and talking to Michael Douglas. "Best of The Samurai Flicks" Based on a classice Japanese comic of over 7000 pages, Lone Wolf and Cub is an essential Samurai film series. In America it achieves at best a matinee status. The International Channel once aired the entire series- A huge Japanese franchise of nine films- in the format seen here to lackluster success. The story is simple: The shogun's private executioner, Itto Ogami, enjoys a post envied by all of his retainers. One night the assassin clan destroys all of the Ogami clan save Itto and his infant son, Daigoro. The father and son both swear revenge, following the assassin's road to hell. What happens after is a long list of assassin's campaigns highlighting the background of this period of Japan's history, known as the Meiji era, right before the fall of the feudal system. The films are simplified, but contain all the striking elements of the comic. The action is straight from the best exploitation films of this era; bloody and to the point. For those who have only sampled modern films like Kill Bill, this will really satisfy the jones for blood and lightning fast samurai action. THis DVD is a must own! "Lone Wolf or Lone Wuf?" No biggie just the Best Samurai Flick of all Times.Edging out my 'Main Man' Zatoichi. Animingo good job except the Master of Death had a Nailed Fist. A MAILED FIST was pre Postal then and not of any threat. Also the Gasp by Lone Wolf after he encounters the Lead Ninja Woman Seemed out of charater and not Audible on any previous tapes.Is that dubbed? "the best" this is the best lone wolf and cub film ever the plot is a bit thin but if you saw the first film you shold know the story of whats going on. I used to have all the lone wolf and cub films on dvd well i live in the uk and the vershan us brits got was [...] so dark it as so hard to see what was going on but this new animeigo vershan it has been given a 35 mil print and it is such a good picture infact its the best i have seen the film in
