Trivia
Akihiro Tomikawa, who portrays Ogami Itto's son, Daigoro, only ever played this one character for his on-screen acting career. He appears as Daigoro in all six 'Lone Wolf & Cub' feature films, and then in 1980's 'Shogun Assassin', which is recut footage from the first two films in the series.

Goofs
After disposing of the ronin on the village, Ogami collects Daigoro, places him the cart and leaves the village. He is not seen to re-assemble the hidden weaponry in the cart.

Quotes
Ogami Itto: I am the Second designated by the Shogunate... Ogami Itto.

Alternate versions
The 1999 UK video was cut by 6 secs by the BBFC to edit a scene where a woman is stripped topless, and the Artsmagic DVD featured the same print. The 2009 Eureka release (featured in the "Lone Wolf & Cub Collection") is fully uncut.

Connections
Edited into Shogun Assassin (1980)

Beautiful, disturbing, bloody & touching.

I hold true to my summary. Beautiful. I belive that the cinematography is excellent in perspective and atmosphere. Disturbing. There is a rape scene which is not gratuitous in its presentation but is nevertheless disturbing. Bloody. It is a samuri/swordplay film after all. Touching. There is a gruff honor about this film that I truly appreciated. The ideas of duty, honor, disgrace and vengence meet here. If you like the genre I think that you will like this movie.
