"We live in the cross roads to hell"
In the forth film in the Lone Wolf and Cub series Ogami is hired to kill a tattooed female assassin. In his research of his new target Daigoro, Ogami's son, wanders off. An old foe of Ogami's, Gunbei Yagyu, discovers Daigoro, and recognizes him through his eyes. When Ogami's son finds his father, Gunbei uses this time to attempt revenge, as he defeated Ogami in the past, but was stripped of his title as executioner as a technicality. <

>Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril is far superior to Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades. I felt this installment returned to the style of the original, Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance. The sword fighting and special effects was the best yet. There was cutting of limbs off left and right. Also the development of Diagoro as a character is emphasized in this film. The sequences between Diagoro and his father Ogami are my favorite aspects of all the films. <

>The tattooed female character reminds me a lot of Lady Snowblood. I was hoping Ogami would take more pity on her. He does help her to a point. He cannot turn his back on his verbal agreement, as we all know, and must obey his code as a samurai. She is a beautiful character, and as her story unfolds you root for her. She is my favorite villain of the Lone Wolf and Cub series up until this point. <

>I am a huge fan of the characters in the Lone Wolf and Cub series. Only the character Fong Sai Yuk in the martial arts movies matches the aura that goes along with Itto Ogami. I am in the process of watching this whole series Lone Wolf & Cub: Baby Cart to Hades is a must have in your Samurai movie collection. Yes, I said Samurai movie collection, I believe there is a strong distinction between a martial arts movie and a Samurai movie, and I will leave that argument for another day. <

This is the review you been looking for!! READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie is maybe the best of the Lone Wolf and Cub series and I tell you why: <
> <
>- I saw four movies of Lone Wolf and Cub: <
>* WHITE HEAVEN IN HELL is good because Ogami Itto (main character) use everithing he got to kill the bad guys but that battle is more like a Ski battle in a snow mountain. <
>* LAND OF DEMONS is also good because Ogami battle many enemies in a big dojo with one sword like Uma Thurman did in Kill Bill and he use the lance only a few times. <
>* SWORD OF VENGANCE is the original and he only use the sword and the lance like in LAND OF DEMONS. <
>* This one (Baby Car in Peril) is the best because he use the sword, the lance, the machine gun, the two swords, small shurikens and blades like in WHITE HEAVEN IN HELL but this time the settings are in a war camp. <
> <
>THAT'S ALL FOLKS Thank you for lisen!!!!

Entertaining, still has its style
In this 4th installment of the series, Director Misumi Kenji was replaced by Saito Buichi -- although I feared the series' quality would deteriorate, I was pleasantly surprised at the nuances Saito lent in his own adaptation. <
> <
> Still only a third of the way through the manga series myself, "Baby Cart in Peril" adopts episodes from early volumes and introduces a later (for me: unknown) episode that involves (finally!) a showdown between Ogami and Retsudo! <
> <
> As usual, the film does a good job giving screen time to other characters allowing them to develop. O-Yuki, the assassin willing to bare her vengeance, is a powerful and interesting character. Daigoro gets more and more screen time as in this movie for the first time, he wanders off alone. The little boy is so charming in this film (like the third installment) -- I love his scowls: talk about inhabiting a character. Combined with the nearly concrete stare of Ogami (actor Wakayama Tomisaburo), this movie confirms it still has the magic. Somehow these nearly opaque actors convey incredible emotion. I just wish I knew what Wakayama was looking at -- he never eyes the action or the camera directly.
