This surely ranks as one of the greatest genre pictures of all time.
I could watch it time and time again- and I'm about to buy as many of these in the series as I can.
Basically it's an American rip off of bits from the first 2-3 Japanese 'Lone Wolf and Cub' epics. As such it's very disjointed, tacky, badly dubbed with bizarre electronic music (a bit like an early John Carpenter film).
But it's an absolute gem.
The moody lighting and weird melodramatic characters, odd camerawork and general low budget effects all add to an experience that will stay with you.
Be warned though, there's no ending as such- more like a 'to be continued' situation.
From it's voice-over beginnings to freeze frame end it's full of one lines- ludicrous and insane.
This is a masterpiece- I can't wait for the originals to come through my door.
p.s It's a shame but there aren't any special bonus features on the DVD. Never mind- maybe they'll do a boxed set!

Shogun Assassin Blu-ray Review

Distributor: AnimEigo US

Never mind The Bride from Kill Bill, if you should find yourself embarking on a war against an army of crazed samurai killers, then Lone Wolf is the one warrior that you need on your side.

Originally taken from the Lone Wolf and Cub series, Shogun Assassin has built up a real cult following among various movie enthusiasts around the globe. From grind house theatres in the US, to one time video nasty status in the UK, the film has seen it's fair share of controversy over the years. At least two alternate edits of the film exist, including the original six part Lone Wolf / Baby Cart series and the Americanised movie version which splices together footage from two episodes and adds a brand new linking narration taken from the perspective of Lone Wolf's son Daigoro.

Previously released in the UK on video cassette and DVD, the film has always suffered from transfer problems including cropping and visible print damage. Released in 2006 in the US on DVD by the same distributor as this new Blu-ray release, the transfer was far superior to all other releases and was widely thought to be the best the film would ever look. Rather surprisingly then, this Blu-ray release has had even more time and attention spent on it, easily making it the ultimate release of the film to date.

Shogun Assassin in it's 30th Anniversary Collectors Edition, marks the début Blu-ray release for the AnimEigo studio and to get the ultimate print of the film, they took original masters from the two Lone Wolf Episodes and re-edited them together to exactly match the movie as previously released.

Format: DVD
In feudal Japan a great samurai warrior called Lone Wolf (Tomisaburo Wakayama) embarks upon a trail of vengeance with his infant son (who narrates the film) after his wife is brutally murdered by men sent by the evil, tyrannical Shogun. Fearing Lone Wolf, The Shogun sends out hordes of ninja assassins to kill him and his son but Lone Wolf disposes of them with the aid of his mighty sword and his son's wooden cart loaded with secret weapons, leaving behind him rivers of blood and piles of butchered corpses.

Like a hired gunfighter in a western movie, Lone Wolf offers his services to anyone with enough gold to cover his assassin's fee and he accepts a contract from a group of rebels who want him to kill The Shogun's brother. This is a dangerous road to go down, where anyone could be a ninja in disguise, and The Shogun's brother is protected by the notorious Masters of Death - three brothers, each armed with different weapons and deadly fighting skills, who have killed many men.

"Shogun Assassin" is a 1980 Japanese/American co-production that is actually bits of two other films seamlessly edited together and re-dubbed in English to make one new film. The two films that make up "Shogun Assassin" are "Sword Of Vengeance" and "Baby Cart At The River Styx" from the stylish but extremely violent "Lone Wolf And Cub" series of films made in Japan in the 1970s.

Everything about this film is amazing, especially the photography, the editing, the music and the stunningly-choreographed action scenes. Try to imagine an Akira Kurosawa samurai film crossed with a Herschell Gordon Lewis splatter-fest, with some scenes shot in the style of a spaghetti western, and you have some indication of what "Shogun Assassin" is like.

You can't really do this film justice in a couple of paragraphs of online review - it is simply one of the best Martial Arts movies I've ever seen.
Magnificent technique, hilarious bloodletting, and some of the best comedy dubbing around. The plot is awesome, the characters are great and the fight scenes are just breathtaking.
The lead character, Lone Wolf, is just ultra, ultra hard and dispatches his foes with superb skill and focused violence. The bad guys are just brilliant - three hard dude in straw hats with deep voices.
There is a rather large slice of unintended comedy in this film (think Monty Python Black Knight fight scene), but it just adds to Lone Wolf's hardness and make sit more fun to watch.
As I said, words fail this movie, but if I had to sum it up in three words I'd say, "Buy it today".
