Nice, just my type of movie

Hopefully that's the final artwork but doubt it since the rating logos are missing.

Nice. HMV are the cheapest still (£16.99) (I would expect Amazon to price match though), but as always, you pay your money..

I'm going to wait and order when Eureka offers it directly.

LuFeng · 10-15-2010, 12:57 PM

you cant really compare this stle of movie to any jet li or IP man movies. those are more hand to hand combat movies while this is more in the lines of samurai style movies. i would say its worth a buy for you if your into old school martial arts/samurai flicks.

Shanester · 10-16-2010, 04:44 PM

Amazon.UK have it listed as "Shoogun Assassin"

No wonder I couldn't find it!!

So which movie is this?

One guy says its the first 2 parts of the Lone wolf and cub series from the 70's and one guy says it's from the 80's....

I thought it was this one:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081506/

They're both right.

"Shogun Assassin" is the first two "Lone Wolf and Cub" films ("Sword of Vengeance" and "Baby Cart at the River Styx") compiled as one. Originally they were released in 1972 but this re-edited film is from 1980

Goober · 10-19-2010, 12:24 PM

It was reedited and basically dumbed down for American and British audiences in 1980. You lose alot of the plot and the dubbing was pretty bad from what I recall.

If this is the case then it's a deal breaker for me

Eureka Entertainment · 11-10-2010, 12:32 PM

If I get round to it this afternoon I'll post up a picture.
