I wasn't lucky enough to see Lone Wolf & Cub in its truncated form, known as "Shogun Assassin" in the states. During the 80s, I faithfully read the comic, and quickly fell in love with it. It was one of the first tastes of manga that I had; soon to be followed up with Mai: The Psychic Girl, also by the same writer, Kazuo Koike. Well, now I've read and SEEN the Lone Wolf and Cub movies so I could not pass up the original Japanese theatrical for the first (of six) films. Cost a pretty penny, but it was worth it.
