Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance

Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance is the first film in the film series based on the influential Japanese manga Lone Wolf and Cub and it's a hell of a first entry. It stars Tomisaburô Wakayama as the titular executioner turned assassin who roams the countryside looking to avenge his honor and the death of his wife at the hands of a rival clan. Mike White joins Chris to discuss the latest film in Samurai September and it's over the top action stylings.
