But as the treachery and obstacles in his latest mission quickly pile up Ogami is forced to handle it the only way he knows how. A re-scored re-dubbed reassembly of the first two films in the Lone Wolf & Cub series the result has become an ageless cult sensation in its own right: a crazed thrill-ride in a booby-trapped baby cart propelled on arterial spray hurtling gleefully to nowhere.
