Audience Member Only thing better is the comic. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review johnathon w Another fun entry in the "Lone Wolf and Cub" franchise that finds Ogami dealing with a rival samurai while also defending a prostitute fleeing her owners. Wakayama remains excellent in the title role, getting to show Ogami's strict sense of honor (the lengths he goes to protect the prostitute is extraordinary). Behind the camera, director Kenji Misumi delivers another fun entry, though is more disjointed than previous ones, as not every story connects. Overall, still a fun watch, if not one of the best ones. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Hideous muck. Don't waste your time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Too good for modern times. Too good for trash like b-panther/female ''captain marvel''. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A slower paced build-up, as Ogami crosses paths with a rare honorable Samurai, and goes through quite a trial to defend some farm girl who was sold into prostitution. The finale is quite a thing to behold. One of the biggest sword fights I've seen in this genre. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review sean l A wandering ronin and his young son continue their journey through feudal Japan, taking contracts when afforded the opportunity and facing assassination with each step. This chapter seems dedicated to clarifying our disgraced samurai's complicated code of honor. Though he'll gladly slice through an almost unlimited number of strangers in battle, Itt?'s vision isn't clouded by a perennial bloodlust. We see restraint in several dangerous situations, respect for principled opponents, loyalty to his word and, in the film's most memorable scene, a willingness to take vicious punishment in lieu of the innocently accused. The story feels more episodic than ever, with various scenes playing out like a classic movie serial and an unresolved conflict lingering at the credits. Given the rate at which they were churning these things out in the early '70s, maybe there's something to that. The action is reliably good, still fresh and creative after three feature-lengths, though the gigantic slaughter instigated at the climax (ambushed, Itt? single-handedly takes out fifty men and a trio of mounted officers) does stretch things a bit. Wise, then, that the film went back to basics almost immediately after, closing the action with an eerily quiet, respectful duel amidst the dust of that epic battlefield.
