KOZURE OKAMI MEIFUMADO (1973)

Director: Kenji Misumi

Cinematographer: Fujio Morita

Ever have one of those days?!

Ha! Would love to see Ogami “Lone Wolf” Itto explain this one to social services.

Caseworker: So, Mr Itto, it seems you were witnessed running wildly through a private field into a filthy river wearing only revealing underwear.

Lone Wolf: …

Caseworker: And it seems you were pushing your toddler in his rickety baby cart at dangerous speeds.

Lone Wolf: …

Caseworker: All this whilst you were being chased by bloodthirsty samurai, who were all brandishing deadly weapons intended for use on yourself and your son.

Lone Wolf: …

Caseworker: In fact, you yourself were carrying multiple deadly weapons, some of which were found secreted about the blood-spattered baby cart.

Lone Wolf: …

Caseworker: Very well, Mr Itto, I believe I have all the information I need. I have decided that it will be in the interest of your child’s safety that we increase home visits from weekly to daily. These will include mandatory drug tests.

Lone Wolf: Reach for your sword.

Caseworker: …

So, yeah, that’s my little Lone Wolf and Cub fan fiction, for you!

Drive safely, kids.

Do stay in touch, darlings.

Toodles!
