Only for true Lone Wolf and Cub fans Lacking a lot of successful elements from the films
Lone Wolf and Cub was such a manga hit it was turned into a series of films in the 1970s. That eventually spun off to a TV series from 1973-76. It starred longtime big screen actor Kinnosuke Yorozuya as the lead Ogami Itto. The show followed the same format as the movies with Ogami being hired by various samurai clans to carry out their dirty work. Ogami is then set upon by a variety of people from samurai to ninjas to try to stop him.<br /><br />What’s good about the TV show was that the manga and films were all about the samurai action and so is this version. You didn’t have to wait all the way until the end for a fight, although the choreography wasn’t always the greatest. It also continued with an interesting set of foes. The first episode in this collection for instance features a group of mountain Ninja that work for the Shogunate. The background music is very good as well with a lot of funky wah wah guitar and such,<br /><br />One drawback is that Yorozuya wore a ridiculous hair piece to look the part. It was so obvious it made him look really bad. Another is that while Yorozuya was a fine actor he lacked the menacing scowl of Wakayama who played Ogami in the movies. It’s impossible not to compare the two and come away thinking Yorozuya was lacking in personality for the part compared to his predecessor. The movies were also very stylistic and almost surreal at times. That’s completely missing from the show.<br /><br />Overall, this is only for real Lone Wolf and Cub fans. It’s not as good as the films, but still interesting.<br />C
