Remember the mini-wave of 'eastern westerns' that were made in the 1970s? The chief of these was THE STRANGER AND THE GUNFIGHTER, a fine and quirky little movie in which Lee Van Cleef and Lo Lieh teamed up to fight evil. Well, THE LAST WOLF OF EZO is another film of this type, albeit one made on an indie budget by westerners obviously obsessed with samurai culture. It suffers very much from an entirely low budget although it does try very hard to succeed. There are lots of cowboys, a great deal of bad acting, and a little bit of bloodshed.
