Lone wolf and son. The greatest team in the history of mass slaughter. Long ago there was a great samurai warrior who served his Shogun honorably. The Shogun however grew paranoid as he became more and more senile. The Shogun sought to destroy all those who might stand to oppose his rule, and so he sent his ninja spies to the samurai's home.
The ninjas failed to kill the samurai, but did kill his beloved wife. From then on, the samurai swore on his honor to seek out the Shogun and avenge the death of his love. The samurai roams the countryside with his toddler son taking on mercenary work for money until the final battle with the Shogun's three Masters of Death.
The first two films in the original Japanese "Lone Wolf And Cub" series (also known as "Baby Cart" and "Sword Of Vengeance") were edited together in 1980 to make this film.
Astonishingly violent - SHOGUN ASSASSIN tells the story of Lone Wolf, a powerful and feared 'Masterless' Samurai who lives a peaceful existence with his wife and his son. When he refuses to swear allegiance to Kurando, the most vicious Shogun in Japanese history, Kurando orders the death of Lone Wolf's wife, Azame. Blinded by rage, Lone Wolf vows to avenge her death, taking his son Tizuro with him on the path to darkness and retribution.
Soon Lone Wolf's sword of vengeance is unleashed upon the evil Shogun's sons, the legendary 'Masters of Death' and finally the Shogun himself...
Watch out for junior as he releases the blades from the wheels of his rickety wooden pram!
"Baby Cart In The Land Of Demons" is the fifth of the internationally renowned "Lone Wolf And Cub" productions.
Prior to hiring Ogami Itto, Lord Kuroda, head of the Kuroda clan, sends his five greatest warriors to individually test the skill of Lone Wolf. Ogami passes the test.
Hired to ensure that the succession of the clas passes to the legitimate heir, the son of Lord Kuroda, Lone Wolf becomes enmeshed in a web of intrigue that leads in turn to Lord Retsudo, the evil head of the Yagyu. Before he can break free, he must turn against the very men who hired him, the loyal retainers of the Kuroda clan.
