Shogun Assassin (1980)
Directed Robert
Houston this film stars Tomisaburo Wakayama, Akihiro Tomikawa and
Kayo Matsuo. An executioner for a crazy Shogun finds himself on the
run with his young son after the Shogun kills his wife and has him
branded a traitor.
Essentially this is
two Japanese films based on “Long Wolf and Cub” re-edited
together then dubbed into English. What we are left with here is
plenty of action but very little character and not a ton plot that
makes much sense. Some of the voice acting is beyond suspect and this
mash up is probably best viewed in it's original versions.
2/5
