Review of Shogun Assassin (1980) by Ryan F — 25 Mar 2009
Today, I will begin walking the road to hell! Samurai films don't get any better than this. Yes, ok, choppy editing, bad dubbing, etc., but that's exactly what it's supposed to be, and I wouldn't change a single damn thing. Enjoy it for what it is, a thoroughly entertaining and moving, near-perfect genre piece. Or you will pay... with rivers of blood!!! xD.
Yes, this is a chopped up edit of the first two films in the Lone Wolf and Cub series, but it stands up superbly on it's own. If you like this, I would definitely recommend watching the original series (Japanese w/ eng subs).
