I bought the entire lone wolf and cub series in English dub and it changed to subtitles after I watched in dub version, the one I bought. So buyer beware, amazon might change the movie to a nature show after they get your money.
The series is one of my all-time favorites, amazing! amazon sux

These Japanese manga series turned TV sensation in Japan is close to my Chambara/Samurai interest. This won't do for U.S. sensors board, but totally harmless in my private room. There are at least 6?(I have the VHS set of 5 from since 2000) episodes completed in this production, or what I know of. I recall playing the lot in a 50" back projection TV and was totally surprised at what I missed, transferred contents/quality wise, in a "25" TV screen. You need to update your copies, as I am slowly doing, to DVDs Samurai aficionados will not be disappointed. Amazon offers a full set. I suggest you check this out. Don't forget to read up on this production transfers - pick up some nuggets of info amongst the confluence of commentaries. I found out of the remake for the TV series but am not interested. This Wakayama production(Katsu Shintaro's, his brother) is breathless, no time for food break ,flashing sword, head rolling cinematic excitement from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can buy his sword but never his honor.

Ogami Itto, the official executioner to the Shogun, is falsely accused of treason and ordered to commit ritual suicide. Yet, this man who holds the harsh code of Bushido above all else, refuses and goes on a quest, a journey, to get revenge. Not only for his lost honor and position but for the murder of his wife.

But he is not alone, for his tiny son must take the same path of honor and death. A ronin and his son. Lone Wolf And Cub. Both are for hire.

The movie is faithful to the manga because the manga was designed to be easily transfered to the big screen. Actors and actresses were perfect for their parts. Lots of violence, nudity and sex scenes - what more can you want? Runs about 83 minutes and the plot moves well, so you never feel bored or feel like there is dead space. A must for any Samurai library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who Knew A Movie Called "Sword of Vengeance" Would Be So Violent?!?!
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021

And did I mention the super bloody violence? Limbs hacked off! People basically cut into bits! And there's a baby right there! And his cart didn't seem to have a 4-way restraint system or child-safe airbags! And no helmet!

And why is everyone Japanese? That's gets a little monotonous over the course of the film.

Toho Movie, But NO Godzilla???

DVD Review: OOP!!! SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH! But at least I have it, now. Animego is a great distributor of Japanese cinema even though their subtitles are a little confusing.

Movie Review: The first in a series of 6 Lone Wolf And Cub movies. The story is about how Lone Wolf And Cub came to be and they must assassinate some a$$#0(#$! This is my 2nd favorite of the series (Baby Cart At The River Styx is my favorite) but the story is great with some classic moments, Lone Wolf And Cub is a great anti-hero character and of course the blood splashy mayhem is absurdly wonderful.

Conclusion: 5 Stars for the DVD and 5 stars for Lone Wolf And Cub: Sword Of Vengeance.

No English subtitles, but I've seen this movie so many times I didn't need them. The print looks a little worn in the beginning, but it doesn't take away from a great story.

If you want subtitles then you should stream the criterion version (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M6EALEF/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1). It does not have "BABY CART" on it's cover image.

If you only have one Babycart movie this is the one because it tells you how
he got into this line of business of protection for 500 gold pieces and also the way his cub chose the right things to go with him. I like the cub's reaction to things with sort of a flattened affect, but he is so efficient in utilizing the tools on the cart and Ogami Ito is superb, not handsome, but a certainly charismatic

The whole series is wonderfully done with many acerbic moments and an cherubic child actor.
I enjoyed more than the Zatoichi series by Wakayama's brother.
