Shogun Assassin (1980)


After his wife is killed by the Shogun's ninja, Lone Wolf seeks revenge whilst also being forced to take care of his young son.

Due to this film being a western cut and using two films from an existing Japanese series called Lone Wolf And Cub, it is a matter of taste on which edits are best. Shogun Assassin is my favorite because I love the soundtrack and over dubbed voices, which give it that cult like status in my opinion. It has also become famed for being sampled by Hiphop group, the Wu-Tang Clan, and for being seen in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Volume 2.
