Marc-Kupper This is an AnimEigo re-release of "Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades" which is the third movie in the Lone Wolf and Cub or "Baby Cart" series. As far as I could tell, these were the changes from the original movie.1) The English sub-titles were removed and instead the Japanese was dubbed over with English.2) The left and right edges were trimmed off to fit the image on a standard TV set. This is most obvious at the beginning where the title and related material gets cut off enough that you had to guess at what some words would be.3) The color is excellent and it's apparent AnimEigo worked hard to clean up the original media.The DVD runs for 89 minutes. Unlike "Shogun Assassin" #1 which combined elements from three of the Lone Wolf and Cub movies Shogun Assassin 2 is just one movie from the original series. As far as I can tell, nothing was cut.

EVOL666 The BABY CART series are an excellent set of films involving a wandering ronin and his son, Daigoro who were betrayed by their original clan, and are out to seek justice (and a little cash...) along the way.This one has Itto involved in a run-in with a prostitute, where he undergoes torture on behalf of the hooker who killed a pimp. Other side-stories include Itto's meeting another "disgraced" samurai, and his next "job" - to kill an officer who killed the whore-house madam's sister, and a great fight scene where Itto takes on a whole gang of assassins...Another solid entry in the "classic" BABY CART series - again, beautifully filmed and acted with great story lines and action - and as always, the interaction between father-and-son assassins is a strange and beautiful sight to behold. Definitely Recommended 8.5/10

nkingstown3 This one and "Peril" are by far my favorites. In the opening scenes we see Ogami wipe out three ninja and it must be seen to be believed. I particularly liked the character development in this film. Itto meets Magomura Kanbei, a disgraced ronin much like himself. It appears Kanbei has a death wish and the reason is uncertain until the end of the movie. He is a very interesting character. Ogami is tortured by yakuza to save a prostitute who killed a pimp in self defense and this is how he is led to his next commission. Great story, and action that is second to none. His quick draw in one scene is so fast I swore the film was sped up. Well, it wasn't. The man is that good. Another plus, there's Hamada Yuko. She is one good-looking woman. This is a very enjoyable movie that can be viewed many times and it never gets old.
