Fantastic slice and dice film which is a must have for any lover of martial arts films or over the top cinema. In this film the blood doesn't just pour out it jets about six feet in the air, I kid you not! I never thought anything strange in those old Samurai films where swords went flying all over the place slashing up tons of people without a drop of the red stuff going anywhere, now we see how they should have been made with limbs flying, Ninja women who can run just as fast backwards as forwards and baby's in carts with more tricks up it's sleeves than one of James Bonds Motors.

Originaly a series called" Lone Wolf " the separate epesodes were edited together to make this feature. This explains the dis-jointed feeling of the storyline which does jump around from one action sequence yo another.

Get this film at all costs , it's a classic.
