    Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell is the last and arguably weakest part of the series. It starts with a series of false starts, is a bit light on the fight scenes (most of them end way too quickly), a few lapses in logic (i.e the hot tub scene) and offers an uninspired, dat...( read more)ed and completely inappropriate score. The cinematography as always is great, namely during the two bigger battles and offering mystical adversaries was definitely a cool switch up but you can kind of tell why the producers pulled the plug on the series after this entry. White Heaven in Hell definitely isn't the best part of the Lone Wolf & Cub series but if you've seen all the others you may as well see White Heaven in Hell. I watched all the earlier entries in the series a good 9 months ago and intentionally put off this last one because I didn't want it to end. And ironically there's a small part of me that kind of wishes I left well enough alone.

    The sixth and final of the series is both awesome and disappointing. Awesome fight scenes, body count, scenery (the snow), and rounding out of the story line. The big let down was the ending. No spoilers, but . . . . . WHAT THE!?!?!

    A beautiful orgy of violence.

    The explosive final entry in the series sees Ogami and his son Daigoro being attacked from all directions by the Yagyu Clan. The fantastic battle at the climax sees Ogami taking on Retsudo and his ninja army on skis. I've enjoyed all 6 in the series, a shame another movie wasn't ...( read more)made.

    there are some truly great scenes in this film, but it is the bottom of the pile when it comes to the series. the way this ends is comparable to your favorite TV show ending without resolving any of the loose ends.

    Let's get one thing straight: skiing was never ever cool until this movie came out.

    I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.

    The final film in The Lone Wolf and Cub series is a bit of a departure from the rest of the series, in tone. There's alot of horror injected into this one, and its very effective. Definatly giving this one a fresh feel. There are mystic warriors who travel by burrowing through th...( read more)e ground. The atmosphere is thick at times lending a real creepy presence to the film.
    One a bit of a down note...the score sucks! The main theme is like a horrible Shaft theme. And the rest of the score is uninspired. The ending was a let down too. Having watched one of the coolest set ups in the series. One would of expected the film to climax with the enthusiasm that preceeded it. But alas it became the same old same old.
    White Heaven In Hell is still a kick ass entry in the coolest film series and iam saddened it has come to an end. I hope Shreik Show still plans on releasing the t.v. series that followed.

    A samurai classic. What more could you want? Oh, you should check out the comic books as well ;)
