Description (by producer & GT in English only) :
Shogun Assassin returns! The notorious dubbed, re-edited U.S. version of Lone Wolf and Cub was responsible for making Japanese action cinema legions of new fans.

Shogun Assassin was a huge hit when released on the grindhouse circuit in the early 1980s, distributed by Roger Corman and supervised by David Weisman and Robert Houston - who would both go on to win Oscars for their later work.
Wildly entertaining and hugely influential, the bastard cub of the Lone Wolf series has stood the test of time, as riveting a viewing experience today as it was upon it's original release.
Notes :
Shogun Assassin was dubbed into English whereas the originals are in Japanese. The film, being compiled from separate stories, uses a much-simplified version of the situation. For instance, any mention of clan war is gone and the opponent Retsudo is simply called "The Shogun."

The filmmakers hired deaf lip readers to help compose dialogue to match the lip movements of the original Japanese actors, and filled in the narrative gaps by adding voice-over narration by Daigoro, performed by Gibran Evans, the 7-year-old son of Shogun Assassin's poster illustrator, Jim Evans. American actress Sandra Bernhard and director (and former radio actor) Lamont Johnson provided voices in the dubbed edition.

Mark Lindsay (former lead singer for Paul Revere and the Raiders) co-wrote a new musical score with producer W. Michael Lewis. The electronic music was performed on a Moog Modular synthesizer system at Wonderland, Lindsay's private recording studio. (The performance is credited to "The Wonderland Philharmonic".) However, certain music portions from the original Kozure Ôkami films are still part of the soundtrack.

This particular release is part of 'The Complete Lone Wolf & Cub Boxset' (Eureka Entertainment).
