      • Trivia
        In the film one of the female characters can be seen to have her teeth painted black. This was a custom in Japan; known as ohaguro, and it is to signify that a woman was married.
      • Goofs
        There is no explanation as to why having the end of a tongue bitten off would be a fatal injury that would immediately be perceived as murder.
      • Quotes

        Ogami Itto: The true way of the warrior means to live by death.

      • Alternate versions
        The 1999 UK video was cut by 20 secs by the BBFC to edit a scene where 2 women are attacked and stripped topless by a samurai gang, and the Artsmagic DVD featured the same print. The 2009 Eureka release (featured in the "Lone Wolf & Cub Collection") is fully uncut.

      A step down
      A step down from the first two films in the series, with a story that felt more disjoint, had flashbacks that didn't really add anything, and which lagged several times. Rape is used yet again as a plot device, and when a guy tidies up the crime by murdering the mother and daughter afterwards, he's congratulated for behavior which "befits a samurai," which was uncomfortable, even considering the moral conflict that runs through the series. There are a few nice outdoor shots, but there's a long 40 minute stretch in the middle that's all indoors, and overall it's not nearly as scenic as the previous film. The penultimate battle with what amounts to an army has a few interesting surprises, but the final clash is weirdly drawn out and anti-climactic. I'm not sure if cranking these out so quickly had something to do with it (this was #3 of 4 released in 1972), but the quality level of this one is lower.
