Lone Wolf and Cub is one of the most influential series to have ever been made both in cinema and manga. Some of the most famous examples of film are Quentin Tarantino’s catalogue, which uses the same type of gore and shot structure as Lone Wolf and Cub, while the manga inspired Frank Miller, especially his Sin City and Ronin comics. To say that this film transcended its homeland and has inspired two of America’s most iconic storytellers would probably be an understatement
