I just watched this last night and have to say it is one of the most entertaining Samurai films I have seen in a while.

The Lone Wolf and Cub kind of feels like a Spagetti Western at times and the fights are realistically short.

Also really dig the soundtrack, it's almost early mortal kombat sounding.

Anyone else seen this?

Badass movie. Manages to be both grounded in reality and completely off the wall cartoony at the same time. Funny that they made it by combining favourite scenes from two different movies and tacking on an English dub (which definitely does a lot to add to the silly cartoony feel). I love the opening narration though. Always makes me think Liquid Swords is about to start playing.
