ABOUT HONG KONG LEGENDS DVDs: In virtually every instance, the remastered picture quality, sound, subtitles, menus, and special features of HKL DVDs are superior to any other version of the movie that may exist on DVD. Among Chinese film enthusiasts, HKL DVDs have become legendary in their own right. Note that some of their DVDs are all-region, while the rest are usually both R2 and R4. HKL DVDs from different countries are usually the same except for the covers.

URGENT NOTE: The Mei Ah DVD of this film has some of the worst English subtitles of any Hong Kong DVD. The Hong Kong Legends version has excellent subtitles, adding an entirely new dimension to this film if you don't speak Chinese. It's almost like watching an entirely different movie.

Plot:	Loosely based on the popular manga comic book, Crying Freeman. about a Chinese martial artist in Russia, kidnapped by the master of an underworld organization. Stripped of his past memories he is trained by the master to become the society's top assassin.
Overview:	Based on the "Legend Of Crying Freeman", "Dragon From Russia" is a spectacular, visually flamboyant "manga in motion" concept adventure from the director of "Naked Killer". The Crying Freeman is the most skilled assassin of the Secret Chinese Society, "The 108 Dragons". Once an ordinary artist, with a passion for life and love, he was kidnapped by the society's leader, the Dragon Master, and trained in the deadly arts of the sect. His memory erased, he has no recollection of his former life, and has been programmed to kill at the command of his new masters. However, he cannot escape the echo of his own humanity, and cries tears of sadness each time he takes the life of a victim. When he is tasked with the assassination of his former girlfriend (Maggie Cheung), she breaks the spell, and the two are forced to go on the run from the deadly Dragon sect, who will stop at nothing to avenge their betrayal. A true genre classic with some of the most incredible fight action ever committed to film!!
