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

Three words: Gods of Death. 'Nuff said.

Grade: B+

Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades (1972)

A step down from the previous two films, due to problems with overplotting; still seriously awesome when the swords come out, though. One of the few samurai films I've seen to make explicit the spaghetti-western influence on the genre. The last duel, where Itto is asked to explain what it is to be a true warrior, is breathtaking and beautiful.

Grade: B
