More of the same, yet similarly enjoyable.
The ‘Lone Wolf And Cub’ series continues with its third outing, this time seeing its eponymous assassins help out an unwilling would-be prostitute by taking her place for punishment. It’s probably the most ‘noble’ thing that its stoic anti-hero has done thus far, even if volunteering for torture seems far less convenient than just killing his aggressors (which we know he is capable of doing and usually willing to do so). After this, the assassins (yes, Diagoro is an accessory to most of the killings) are given the task of taking out a corrupt official, which leads to an absolutely fantastic finale that sees the pair take on what’s seemingly a hundred foes at once. As usual, the baby cart has a few surprises in store for the protagonist’s enemies (which also includes a string of assassins sent by the Yagyu clan they crossed in their first outing); this time, we’re treated to possibly the best, most outlandish one yet. It’s really this final movement that makes the affair as successful as it is. Though its overall story is a bit scatterbrained (I haven’t even mentioned the third plot-line about a mercenary who wants to die an honourable death), ‘Lone Wolf And Cub: Baby Cart To Hades (1972)’ comes together in a satisfying and smile-inducing climactic battle that raises the quality of the entire effort. Before this, the film is somewhat meandering and, in a way, a little light on the bloodletting you expect from the series. It also doesn’t have a solid through-line and, essentially, feels like more of the same. There’s also an unnecessary and somewhat dodgy rape scene early on that lasts for far too long; it’s the sort of sequence that seems to be aiming for the specific crowd that enjoys seeing that sort of stuff, which is a crowd I don’t want anywhere near me. Still, the movie (which is an exploitation piece from the early seventies) is undeniably enjoyable when its focus is in the right place. It’s a short, almost inconsequential action flick with a hint of stoic philosophy and a lot of dead bodies. 6/10
A step down
A step down from the first two films in the series, with a story that felt more disjoint, had flashbacks that didn’t really add anything, and which lagged several times. Rape is used yet again as a plot device, and when a guy tidies up the crime by murdering the mother and daughter afterwards, he’s congratulated for behavior which “befits a samurai,” which was uncomfortable, even considering the moral conflict that runs through the series. There are a few nice outdoor shots, but there’s a long 40 minute stretch in the middle that’s all indoors, and overall it’s not nearly as scenic as the previous film. The penultimate battle with what amounts to an army has a few interesting surprises, but the final clash is weirdly drawn out and anti-climactic. I’m not sure if cranking these out so quickly had something to do with it (this was #3 of 4 released in 1972), but the quality level of this one is lower.
