The Dragon from Russia is a 1990 Hong Kong action fantasy directed by Clarence Fok for Cinema City and produced by Dean Shek. It is loosely based on Crying Freeman, the Japanese manga by Kazuo Koike and Ryoichi Ikegami.
Sam Hui and Maggie Cheung star, with Nina Li Chi, Carrie Ng and Loletta Lee. It opened in Hong Kong in August 1990.
Yao and May are orphans raised together in Russia who promise to stay together forever. Then Yao is kidnapped by a secret criminal society called the 800 Dragons, which erases his memory and trains him as an assassin. Years later, his work brings him face to face with May, and his real memories start to return.
Is it related to the film Crying Freeman? It adapts the same manga, but it is a separate Hong Kong production with its own story.
Is it suitable for younger viewers? The BBFC rated a 2003 UK release 15.
For more 1980s Hong Kong action, try Royal Warriors (1986) DVD. For another stylish Hong Kong film of the 1990s, see The Blade (1995) DVD.
