646f9e108c Five warriors challenge Ogami to duels. Each holds a part of information needed to complete the assassination of a mad clan leader. Fifth film in the Lone Wolf &amp; Cub Series. 5 warriors challenge Ogami to duels. Each has 1/5th of Ogami&#39;s assassin fee and 1/5 of the information he needs to complete his assassination. His mission is to kill a mad Daimyo before he destroys his clan! It&#39;s the best moving picture of the bunch!! It is the Empire Strikes Back of the Lone Wolf with Cub moving pictures. The action was superb and the bad guys were REALLY bad! Of course, this moving picture may be better appreciated upon having viewed the previous installments. Without trying to give anything away; some of the climactic scenes may be better understood with some of the back story filled in, but, I cannot seem to remember how much of &quot;Meifumado&quot; is exposition. So even just viewing this moving picture may give a good enough idea of the characters idioms, respectively. I think I cannot remember because I watched the 6th installment of the series the next day and now it&#39;s hard to remember the 5th. The 6th moving picture was the &quot;A View To A Kill&quot; of the series. Take thatyou will. But one large part of this moving picture is Tomisaburo Wakayama&#39;s intensityboth a battle-hardened Samurai and alsoa caring father, even though he does things most father&#39;s wouldn&#39;t do. Iffen you like good Samurai movies, be sure to check this one out. Haha Had to leave you with a Reading Rainbow plug… I&#39;ve seen most of the other Lone Wolf and Cub movies. I&#39;ve been happy with all of them except for this one.<br/><br/>The martial arts sequences are excellent. The acting is great; however, this movie drove home an important point about film-making: If the plot is incomprehensible, the movie is lost on the viewer.<br/><br/>Why did he listen to those he listened to and kill those he killed? He was supposed to be saving a particular clan, but ended up pretty much wiping it out. In the end, people kill themselves with no explanation and Lone Wolf walks away with his cub…<br/><br/>Part of the problem with my understanding might have been that this movie, unless the others that I own, was dubbed. It might have been over simplified…
