The LONE WOLF AND CUB series chronicles the adventures of disgraced Shogun assassin Ogami Itto and his infant son Daigoro, who sell their services to people in need while traveling the countryside in search of revenge against the hit squad who killed Itto’s wife. All six parts of the martial arts-based drama are included here. In the first film of the series, SWORD OF VENGEANCE, Ogami escapes with his son in a wooden baby cart after an assassination attempt on his family. The second film, BABY CART AT THE RIVER STYX, sees Ogami stalked by a deadly female ninja as he attempts to assassinate a spy from the Shogunate. The journey continues in BABY CART TO HADES, with Ogami coming to the aid of a prostitute who killed her pimp. But he has to undergo torture to win back her freedom. In the follow-up, BABY CART IN PERIL, Ogami must battle a female martial arts master and defend his son from an assassination attempt by an enemy clan. The fifth film in the saga, BABY CART IN THE LAND OF DEMONS, features a duel between Ogami and five warriors who hold not only his assassin’s fee, but vital information he needs to hunt down his enemies. Then, in the sixth and final installment in the LONE WOLF series, titled WHITE HEAVEN IN HELL, Ogami faces his ultimate challenge when all remaining members of the enemy Retsudo clan band together for a face-off on a snowy battlefield.

this six film series is about the former shogun excutioner,now on the run from his insane shogun(after the shogun has his family killed,but missing the lone wolf and his young son) and getting ready to take the old man out.(but only after killing the shogun’s son in front of him) and now works as an assision and advenger to anyone with the right amount of gold.
this is bloddy,gory,and over the top,but thats whats so good about it. the action looks like the kind jhon woo uses today,and the other parts of the story really come together and make this the most fun you can have watching this “sword and kung-fu” series!! enjoy

Worth 500 pieces of gold! This series has it all: philosophy, martial arts, politics, history, drama, etc. I am unaware of another similar martial art series that can compare to Lone Wolf. I paid $120 for the used set at a local retailer and considering the entertainment value, the series is worth much more.

The best Samuri/Ninja action movie i have ever seen. My intro to it was “Shogun Assasin” in approx 1985 that made it to the theaters in the U.S. which that should tell you something!!!!!!!. Then i found out there was a series. The cinematogophy is so unparallel compared to todays 2009/2010 ninja movies. The special effects were kinda old fashion but the acting and scenery makes up for it all.

Forget about Spider Man, X Men, Superman Returns, ouch!
This one is a real comic book based set of movies. A complete masterpiece to go along with the book collection. Anything I say wouldn’t be enough to express how good this is. Try to learn something, Avi Arad.
