Brainwashed by the 108 Dragons, a powerful Chinese crime syndicate, Yo
Hinomura is transformed into a killing machine known as "Crying Freeman"
for the silent tears he sheds for his victims. When a lovely artist
witnesses one of his killing missions, Freeman is ordered to eliminate
her. But the heated chemistry between Emu Hino and her would-be killer
spurs an immediate reaction. Hunted by the police and the mob, victim and
assassin vow to face whatever fate has in store for them together. Based
on the critically acclaimed manga series written by Kazuo Koike (Lone Wolf
and Cub) Crying Freeman is a sophisticated pulse-pounding adventure not to
be missed! This complete collection on 2 DVDs contains all 6 episodes of
the series including the choice of English language or Japanese language
