| Extras: Trailers for Red Lion, Ambush at Blood Pass, Zatoichi 16: Zatoichi the Outlaw, & the Samurai Trilogy; movie stills; profiles of Toshiya Fujita & Meiko Kaji; promotional art; some history and photos on The Russo-Japanese War that provides the backdrop for the film; and cover art from Artsmagic's Lone Wolf and Cub series.
Notes: Low contrast is a big problem on this print, one that obscures a lot of detail and makes a few of the nighttime scenes very difficult to see. Resolution is moderately low and there's some degradation, but that too is obscured by the darkness. The original Japanese audio track is average. Imbedded English subtitles are easy to read and well written, but only translate half of the opening credits. Navigating the DVD menu is troublesome because seeing which option is highlighted can be difficult. |
