Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril (1972)
When you mix breasts and tattoos in a movie, you're just asking for a tit-for-tat revenge tale. And so it goes with this entry in the series.
It's a well-crafted tale in so many ways, with dramas and dangers for Lone Wolf and his child separate as well as together, and multiple potent villains and surprising back-stories on why they're after Lone Wolf and Cub. The tit-for-tat woman is introduced in all her vengeful glory in the opening scene, though her big encounters come at the very end -- so she bookends the whole tale very effectively.
Tomisaburo Wakayama (known as the Rowan Atkinson of Japan) plays Lone Wolf as always, and as only he can, clowning it up with his expressive face and masterful comic timing to make this one of the most fun and uplifting entries in the series.
