Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril
ActionAdventureThriller81 min
Assassin-for-hire Ogami Itto takes a contract on a tattooed female killer while his long feud with Yagyu clan chief Retsudo pulls him into another round of ambushes and revenge. Tomisaburo Wakayama is Itto, the wandering swordsman who travels with his young son in the baby cart; Yoichi Hayashi’s Daigoro is briefly separated from him after following a pair of street performers. As the hunt closes in, the story threads together rival clans, topknots taken as trophies, and a string of hard, fast sword fights.
