(imdb)LONE WOLF AND CUB: SWORD OF VENGEANCE-1972-Ogami Itto (Tomisuburo Wakayama), the Shogunate's executioner is framed as being a traitor by Retsudo and the Ura-Yagyu clan. They kill his wife and he vows revenge. Two years later Orgami is a Ronin (masterless Samu-rai) traveling the countryside with his young son, Daigoro (Akihiro Tomikawa), his sword for hire. Daigoro rides in a deadly wooden baby cart.
This is a gory, blood spurting samurai craziness based on the manga of the same name. It also features dismemberment and nudity. The first in a series of 6, the first three and the fifth were directed by Kenji Misumi.
Thanks for reading!
