Lone Wolf McQuade DVD

Advantages: Gory, Violent, lots of fighting and killing.
Disadvantages: Dubbed Voices and Video Quality of DVD

...This film is a cut down of the long story of "Lone Wolf & Cub", which is spanned across 6 DVD's itself! So if you just want a cool samurai movie to sit and watch then this one is perfect, but if you want to go deeper into the story then check out "Lone Wolf & Cub" DVD's, also known as "Babycart". Although it is cut down, the story is still well put together and i still managed to enjoy watching it, so did all my friends who i borrowed it to. I really like all the gory action, and the sword fighting, its just a classic, they don't make them like this anymore!

Advantages: Smart, I like- Smart ass, I dont
Disadvantages: Arnie doesnt get the real 'action' we all know he wants!

Arnie immerses himself in the mafia underworld and becomes Sam Wanamaker's ganglord right hand man. The bassy soundtrack is half of the success of this glorious testosterone fuelled gun-fest. From the way Arnie checks all his weapons (yes he pumps his shotgun and then looks at himself in the mirror) to the way he executes mafioso with that 'death face' this is another truly tongue in cheek performance from Arnold. Not a bad plot this time but the acting could be better and Schwarzenegger carries the film. You may recognise a couple of the actors (one from Scarface and one from License to Kill) but in all honesty, only true Arnie fans can appreciate this film. Not his best work and cheesey in the extreme... Read review

...In this, the fourth installment of the Lone Wolf And Cub series of films, Ogami Itto (Tomisaburo Wakayama), and his infant son Diagoro must face the ferocity and savage beauty of Oyuki, the mistress of martial arts.
