Love the Lone Wolf & Cub comics... but I also have a soft spot in my heart for the live action films.

A total of 6 films came out from 1972-74. My favorites are definitely the first 3. While the comics tone is fairly straight, the movies are super exploitative and cheesy. And it works!

I love how good Samurai films play up the calm stillness before the chaotic bloodshed. At times, the Lone Wolf series did it as good as the best of them.
