They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!
TV & Film
This month Lee takes a look at selections from the scores from two notable 1970s Samurai exploitation film series, "Hanzo the Razor" & "Lone Wolf and Cub". Although a lot of traditional Japanese musical elements were used, more often than not, convention was thrown out the window. Fuzzed-out electric rock, jazz & funk all show up to spice-up these more Grindhouse-esque films, which are full of bloody violence, sex, and taboo subject matter.
