Lone Wolf and Cub

classic bro yes sir yes sir i thought you found that a copy of it recently

oh dude i was so fucking pumped man i found it the flea i mean i mean i fucking paid a little bit more than i wanted to when i fucking i got the game it's an essential ps1 title it's worth it it's worth it exactly um in terms of like watches uh i've been binging well not like binging but like watching every couple of days uh one of the movies from the lone wolf and cub series from the 70s started out as a manga i'm pretty sure but then they made live action uh like they're like these live action samurai movies in the 70s they put like the first four of them out in 72 and then the last two and like one of them was in 73 then the other one's in like 74 or something like that I'm on the fourth one now.

Some of the most badass cinema I've ever seen in my entire life, man.

Like, Criterion, like, they did, like, I think it was 2K Restorations, and, like, it's got, like, the, like, subtitles burned in, like, perfectly, like, no dubs, nothing, like, just, they, these films look phenomenal.

Those two things were in my brain.

Part of the Asian cinema was the Lone Wolf and Cub movies.

I also had read the manga that was based on Lone Wolf and Cub.

Lone Wolf and Cub is a who's betrayed basically by the Shogun, and he was his executioner, he basically is betrayed and he goes on and he takes his infant son, because his wife has been killed, takes his infant son out on the road with him and there's a baby cart that's full of, and he teaches the kid to do all this, use all these swords and stars and things.

And as he is being pursued by the shogun's samurai, he's also stinging the shogun, hitting the shogun's operations all the way along, just to cause him trouble.

And I took that core idea and the idea of John Looney and his crazy son, and the idea too of, Wouldn't it be interesting to do the lead character not to be the big gangster or the cop? He's like the second gangster from the left.
