This is the one! Haven’t seen it in many years but I’ll never forget it. Might stick it on this weekend, actually.

Might mean Shogun Assassin, the American remix of the first two wolf and cub movies.

That's all I could remember after he was betrayed he dressed himself and his son in white. Giving the child a choice before killing him between the katana or a toy ball.

I'm pretty sure you're looking for The New Legend of Shaolin starring Jet Li from 1994, which pays hommage to Lone Wolf And Cub. Minor spoiler: The scene you mentioned plays out with his son, that he's considering to kill, lol. I adore that movie to this day, transports me right back to my childhood!

Sounds like the Mandalorian to me (fine I’ll see myself out)

You’re not wrong, Mandalorian doesn’t really hide its Lone Wolf and Cub influence.

I’ve never seen lone wolf, but at least mando’s plot felt pretty natural (aside from having a significant character development take place in another show)

George Lucas took a LOT of inspiration from Kurosawa. “New Hope” is basically a sci-fi reskin of “Hidden Fortress”

Not sure if it's the same movie but I remember a HK movie from when I was a kid with a similar scene. If it's the same movie I remember the baby getting a choice between a rocking horse toy and a sword? Vaguely recall a firey backdrop too. Swordsman had come home to find his wife slain and home on fire with only the baby/kid who then picked the sword. I have some more vague memories of that movie if it happens to be the same one?

edit: kinkinoa posted the one I was thinking of I think.
