Review of Shogun Assassin (1980) by James K — 28 Mar 2007
Actually, if I were going to do things right, I would post the entire Kazure Okami (Lonewolf and Cub) series of movies up here. However, this compilation of key scenes from the series spliced together and given an English dub makes for a decent enough package.
However, no screen attempt can compare with the long, detailed, and painstakingly crafted samurai manga epic that is Lonewolf and Cub. If you take only one of my recommedations seriously it would be to read the Darkhorse republished manga.
How 'bout that? My most vehement recommendation on Flixster isn't even for a movie. Go figure.
