Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx (1972)

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx (1972, Director: Kenji Misumi, other titles: [Kozure Ōkami: Sanzu no kawa no ubaguruma, 子連れ狼 三途の川の乳母車])

The second part of the "Lone Wolf and Cub" film series.

Ogami Itto (played by Tomisaburo Wakayama) used to be an official executioner

for the Shogunate, but now is reduced to being a Ronin and taking assassination jobs in 

order to provide a living for him and his baby son Daigoro (Akihiro Tomikawa).

Together father and son move from town to town seeking jobs, being always alert, because those

 who caused the destruction of their family are always a step behind them.

Our opinion: 

• This movie, as the first of the series is a must see.

 Highlinghts:

• The Akari Yagyū (a female clan of assassins) literary hacking to pieces a male shinobi in order to prove they are up to the task of killing Ogami
• The Akari Yagyū attacking Ogami
• Ogami fighting the three Hidari brothers

Why should you see it:

• Because it's a classic
• Because it is visually appealing from the begining untill the end
• Because you've missed the old type heroes
• For the little cute bastard (I love this kid)
• For the v2.0 baby cart (yes even more pimped out than the first)
• Two words: Killer Radishes (daikon)

Awkward moments: 

• The hero finds himself with a naked woman in his arms, and yes, he does so to save her life, again.
• Little Daigoro comparing the breasts of his father to those of the lovely naked lady.

This movie is part of a series of six films
