Summary: great samurai movie..
Comment: this movie does not dissapoint...lone wolf and mute samurai come in one cheap price...pick this one up for some great samurai swordfighting action with ninjas and ronin....although keep in mind that the picture quality is not as good as the first shogun assasin film but it is acceptable.

Summary: WARNING: Multiple Versions
Comment: I bought this movie, as well as the rest of the series, at the mall. Unfortuneatly there is more than one name for this movie, and I was duped by the salesman to buy two of them. I own:
Shogan Assassin II: Lupine Wolf
Lone Wolf & Cub 3: Baby Cart to Hades
Since Shogan Assassin is actually Lone Wolf & Cub 1 and 2 edited together, i should have put things together in my head that Shogun Assassin II would then be Lone Wolf & Cub 3.
I'm just commenting this on all of the Lone Wolf & Cub 3 Sequal Variants so no one buys and extra DVD by accident I did.
I hope this was helpful. Oh and by the way, Shogan Assassin is fricken awesome (I recommend Battle Royale and Samurai Champloo [Anime, but still sweet] if you like this type of Japanese film)

Summary: Shogun Assasin Part 2: Lighting Swords
Comment: I thought the movie could have been better,I think that it didn't have enough action like part1.

Summary: a combination of the Lone Wolf and Cub Series
Comment: Ogami Itto, the Lone Wolf, is a former decapatator for the Shogun until the Shogun orders for the death of Ogami's wife. Ogami vows to avenge his wife killing as many of the Shogun's allies, and also becomes an assassin killing for clans that pay the right amount of money. Ogami brings along his son Daigoro, the cub.
Shogun Assassin is a movie based on the first two episodes of the six episode series Lone Wolf and Cub. The first episode is Sword of Vengeance and the second is Baby Cart at the River Styx. This movie, Shogun Assassin 2 Lightning Swords of Death, is a is a combination of episodes 3 and 4 of the series. The episodes are called Lone Wolf and Cub - Baby Cart to Hades and Lone Wolf and Cub Baby Cart in Peril.
This Shogun Assassin 2 is not as bloody and gory as the first Shogun Assassin. I was expecting non-stop samurai sword fighting scenes. In this movie there is more dialogue, nudity(rape scene), and torture. However, the fight scenes that are in the movie are great. In this movie Ogami saves a prostitute that kills her pimp. Then he take a contract to kill a governor of the land. The governor sends many men to kill Ogami. In the end, the governor sends a whole army the Ogami must kill. Ogami also takes on a honorable samurai, so that they can find out what being a "true samurai" is.
I was disappointed in this movie because it had some edited scenes from the real series. They edit out less blood and detail in the fight scenes. I was also expecting more duels and battles since the Shogun Assassin movie was so action packed. Also, there are guns used in this movie, so it is not 100 percent swordfighting. Daigoro, the cub doesn't narrate this film like he did in the first Shogun Assassin. This movie is english dubbed with no subtitles. The only extra on this dvd is volume 1 of the "mute samarai." This movie is ok, I like it, but I was just expecting more. I suggest buying the separate dvd from the series.
