Plot Outline  : Well, this movie really needs very little intro-
duction.
In a time of evil and tyranny, a stone-faced ronin
wanders the countryside with his young son (and a
weapon-filled baby cart), hunted by the merciless
minions of an evil Shogun.

Once a noble samurai, he is now the most feared
assassin in Japan, known only as Lone Wolf.

Ripper's Notes:

This is from the first official R1 release of this movie on DVD.
AnimEigo used their beautiful LW&C masters to recreate this cult
classic so that it can now be seen the way it should be seen, in
all its blood-spraying glory!  ALL previous DVDs of this movie,
including Vipco's PAL DVD are horrible, making this a must have
for fans.   No original audio elements were available so they used
existing which was 2ch mono.  Subs are for on screen kanji and signs
as well as for denoting the 2 seconds of unrestored footage. Internal
is cuz no new footage (I doubt 2 secs of stock footage counts :)
