Zitate
Benma Hidari: [Ogami Itto has bested him and slashed him across the neck with a sword; blood is starting to flow from the wound, making a certain sound] My neck... my own neck... It sounds like it's wailing. My neck was sliced open diagonally. The cut wails like a cold winter wind. They call it "mogari-bue," - the whistle of a fallen tiger. I've always wished to kill someone, just once, and create such a fine cut and to sing this tune. Now I'm hearing it from my own neck. What a laugh.
[rolls over dead, with blood spurting out from his neck wound onto the sand]

Serious or Not?

The first Lone Wolf film was enjoyable and innovative, but this first sequel unsuccessfully straddled the line between comically violent and serious in a way that the film couldn't maintain.

In this film, Itto continues his journey of vengeance with his young child along for the ride, rolling along in a cleverly weaponized wooden stroller. (Never before has a toddler been complicit in so many killings!) It's a fun movie for the mindless action, but it never really goes beyond that. At times the movie seems like it wants to be a more serious film, but then it veers back to a perpetually nonchalant Itto effortlessly slaying would-be killers along the road.

Overall, it felt like a movie attempting to bridge genres without ever cleanly landing in the one that fit.
