Synopsis
Watch Shogun Assassin (1980) online on iFILM — a Japan-US action classic edited by director Robert Houston from two entries in the Lone Wolf and Cub series. The film reached cult status in the West through grindhouse screenings, and Quentin Tarantino later worked it into Kill Bill as a film-within-a-film.
A samurai served the shogun faithfully until the shogun's paranoia turned lethal. Ninjas came to his home at night. His wife died. His infant son survived. Now the former executioner walks the roads of Japan pushing a weaponized baby cart, taking paid kills along the way, with the shogun's hunters closing behind him. Eighty-five minutes of stripped-down action — no subplots, no sentiment, just a lone warrior and everything standing between him and revenge. Stream Shogun Assassin (1980) on iFILM.
