Lone Wolf And Cub: Babycart At The River Styx
This second film in the series really amps up the action. The blood splashing is as OTT as the first film, maybe even a little more so. Throwing female Ninjas and Samurai assassins into the mix this film certainly keeps a fast pace throughout. We also get a lot more input from Cub in this one. My favourite sequence sees one Samurai litterally hacked to pieces by the female Ninja leader until there is nothing left but a faceless torso. A sequence that no doubt embodies the original Manga. I can't wait for film number three now.
