Lone Wolf and Cub - a movie haiku
« on: 20 Apr 2017, 07:39 pm »
Preamble
One thing I love about Criterion - they do amazing restoration work to older movies, and they do 'lowbrow' movies almost as often as 'highbrow' ones.  Case in point, Lone Wolf and Cub - a 3 disc set with all 6 LW&C movies on it.  Warning, spoilers below.

Haiku

These movies are fantastic - you can see where people like John Woo and Quinten Tarantino got their inspiration from.     



It might be 'lowbrow', but it's extremely well done. 



Lots of blood.



Lots and lots of blood.

Also, one thing I love about watching old movies (at least the ones that kick ass) are the ways that they resonate in modern times.  To whit, check out these images of LW&C and Logan:
