Kenji Misumi and Robert Houston’s SHOGUN ASSASSIN
(R, 1980, 90 min)
The legendary midnight movie sensation that firmly embedded samurai mythology within American pop culture consciousness! Following the murder of his wife at the hands of an evil shogun, an avenging ronin (Tomisaburo Wakayama) roams the countryside with his young son—and the boy’s sword-shooting baby carriage—in tow, dispatching ninja assassins with steely resolve in operatically stylized flurries of hallucinatory violence. “Shogun Assassin” proved an instant cult favorite that has bubbled its way up from the underground to the mainstream thanks to its influence on artists ranging from the Wu-Tang Clan to Quentin Tarantino.
