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 Wolfs 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 Wolfs sword of vengeance is unleashed upon the evil Shoguns 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 cart...
