I continued the Lone Wolf and Cub series with Baby Cart To Hades. The majority of this film is not as action packed as the second instalment Baby Cart At The River Styx. It slows down and takes time to have a more complex plot, I think I'll need to watch it again to work out what happens with all the double crossings and betrayals as I find subtitled film a little hard to follow sometimes (I think its cause I cant remember who’s who).
What isn't complicated though is the final fight. Ogami Itto and his son Diagaro face a small army, I guess about 70-80 men some armed with bows and muskets and some on horseback. It's a fantastic sequence and you can easily see how this may have inspired things like Kill Bill or Samurai Jack (if you've not seen it I cant recommend this cartoon enough).
Overall I really enjoyed this film, next stop Baby Cart In Peril
