		Freeman is instructed to terminate Emu as not to leave any witnesses, but Emu seduces him and they become lovers instead...
		Freeman and Emu complement each other so perfectly that the 108 Dragons soon accept Emu as Freeman's wife and part of the organization.
		Crying Freeman had a good thing going, it's just too bad that the momentum was lost in the middle of the series.

	Crying Freeman
		Crying Freeman has an interesting enough plot in its first story to keep us entertained despite its minimalistic approach to Ikegami's artwork, but beyond that the series becomes more of a chore than a joy.
		Eventually, we find out that the man's code name is Crying Freeman, and we find out that he is actually an unwilling pawn in the machinations of the syndicate.
		Crying Freeman is really just a pulp fiction daydream, filled with large doses of graphic violence and steamy sexuality.

	[KFCC] Crying Freeman Review
		Crying Freeman is the first full-length movie of the French director Christopher Gans (Le Pacte Des Loups), Brian Yuzna was also one of the producers, but unfortunately this movie has never seen the day in North America and that's a shame.
		Crying Freeman is a movie that mixes both romance and action with a beautiful cinematic vision worthy of any of the best Hong Kong directors, a cinematic culture which Gans was much influenced by.
		Crying Freeman has never been distributed in North American, but hopefully going off of the International success with Gans latest movie, Le Pacte Des Loups (who will also be reviewed at KFC Cinema at the end of November), someone might actually finally release Crying Freeman in North America.

	AnimeOnDVD.com >> Disc Reviews >> Crying Freeman Vol. #1: Portrait of a Killer
		Crying Freeman was one of the earlier titles that I had been able to see way back in the day when there was very little coming out.
		Freeman is the deadliest assassin in a Chinese criminal organization known as the 108 Dragons.
		Freeman himself is a very adept combatant and some of the moves he provides, whether using guns, fists or knives is impressive.

	Crying Freeman
		A love story across a sea of blood ensues and Freeman is forced to fight for the love of his life as well as his freedom.
		'Crying Freeman' is the live action version of the cult manga hit of the same name and is, to date, the most faithful big screen adaptation around.
		Overall, 'Crying Freeman' can be commended on several levels as it manages to stick faithfully to the source material, provide a stylish action-packed movie and a good vehicle for fan favourite Mark Dacascos.

	Crying Freeman
		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.
		Once again Freeman is forced to fight for his life, this time against combat-hardened "gladiators." Later, Freeman must ferret out a traitor bent on destroying The 108 Dragons.
		Freeman's final pulse-pounding battle is bracketed by a bittersweet journey of enlightenment punctuated by vice, violence and vengeance.

	Crying Freeman 3: Hiyoku renri (1990) (V) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the second story, titled "Sister" in the manga, Freeman's wife, Fu Chinran (formerly Emu Hino) gains possession of the cursed Yoten Muramasa, the "Sword of Darkness," and seeks to remove its curse.
		Accompanied by the rotund female giant (and adopted sister of Freeman and his wife) Beya-san, she takes it to a swordmaster living incognito in the notorious no-man's-land known as Kowloon Castle on the Kowloon Peninsula of Southern China (near Hong Kong).
		The reduced amounts of sex and violence in this volume are all found in this section, as Freeman uses his famous knives in lethally clever ways on the Horn of Africa and, at one point, seduces the redheaded girlfriend of one of the terrorists in order to track down their leader.

	Anime News Network - Review
		But it’s a wasted opportunity, and Crying Freeman is the kind of thing that gives anime its undeserved reputation as a bastion of gratuitous sex and violence.
		One of the earliest anime series brought to America by Streamline pictures in the post-Akira age, Crying Freeman was modestly popular with fans.
		Crying Freeman’s blood and boobs are there for their own sake.

	Crying Freeman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Crying Freeman manga series is renowned for its artwork and gratuitous graphic violence and eroticism.
		Crying Freeman devotes its time to a study of the titular assassin, a Japanese man retained by the Chinese Mafia (called the "108 Dragons") and covered in a vast and complex dragon tattoo (see Kitano's film Brother for displays of many similar yakuza tattoos).
		Freeman takes her to the hospital and tells her to meet him at Hinomura Kiln, where he intends to part with her.

	DVD Verdict Review - Crying Freeman: Complete Collection
		Crying Freeman: Complete Collection comprises three volumes (Portrait of a Killer, A Taste of Revenge, and Abduction in Chinatown) that were originally released separately.
		That lack of cohesion is a serious weakness in Crying Freeman, which packs plenty of action and eroticism into its 300 minutes but fails to fill in the gaps between shootouts and sex scenes with much (if any) solid character development.
		Crying Freeman, with its heavy emphasis on sex and violence, caused quite a stir upon its initial release, but it feels dated today, its impact dulled by a flood of hyperviolent anime, including Kite and Ichi the Killer, that has upped the shock-value ante considerably.

		Things don't work out for Freeman's partner and its up to the remaining members of the Sons of the Dragons to take on Freeman who just wants to go off and shape clay with his girl...
		Crying Freeman has the veneer of a large scale production that is too sincere for its own good.

		The Crying Freeman series fuses the creative spirits of these two masters and explodes in a ferocious world that blends organized crime, bloody retribution, master assassins, sex, and loyalty.
		Hinomura Yo is Crying Freeman, an artist who becomes the master assassin of The 108 Dragons.
		I have to say that there is sufficient reason for Crying Freeman’s reputation as a manga masterwork.

	Arrow In The Head's movie review of Crying Freeman: Mark Dacascos/Freeman, Julie Condra/Emu, Tchéky Karyo/Detective ...
		Based on the Japanese anime of the same name, "Crying Freeman" is a stylish, over-the-top festival of gunplay and fight sequences that made me curse out loud with joy more than once.
		The Freeman’s roots are explored via flashbacks, some tacky witch came into play and a subplot involving a crooked cop kicked in.
		Just when I thought that this Freeman wouldn’t live up to its first block and that it would degenerate into an average offering, it swiftly side-kicked me in the nuts by putting out a last segment that was beyond enthralling.

		Now members from that organization are after Freeman, as well as the policeman in charge of protecting the deceased yakuza boss.
		Crying Freeman was originally born as a manga by Kazuo Koike (Lone Wolf and Cub) and Ryoichi Ikegami (Sanctuary), and this video is an interesting lesson in how to adapt a story from comics to animation.

		Mark Dacascos (Drive) is the Freeman, an unwilling executioner for an ancient clan who kills on command with results so conclusive that he has become almost mythical in nature.
		What follows are the new couples attempts to free themselves from the reigns of the Freeman personality (the cult that controls him will not let go so easily) and to also escape from another clan who desperately want to take revenge on the Freeman for the murder of their boss.
		Despite its flaws Crying Freeman is certainly an enjoyable film with some stunning action set pieces but due to the decidedly poor quality of this Pathe DVD I find it extremely hard to recommend you do anything other than rent this release.

		Add to this the fact that the Yakuza is after Freeman, since he is cutting into their business and they are at war with the Chinese 108 Dragons.
		Freeman and Emu--very complex, emotionally unique characters--are reduced to stereotypes that fail to become archetypes.

		But to the criminal underworld that fears him, he is known as Crying Freeman, the killer who sheds tears at the fate of his victims.
		Young, handsome, sensitive, an artist, Yo has been psychologically programmed by his Dragon masters to kill on command: he cannot resist his masters' commands to kill, they cannot stop his tears of remorse.
		Just to clarify then, Yo cannot stop himself killing people he is order to kill, but he retains full control of his emotions and cries over each victim whilst tearing them to little tiny pieces.

		Crying freeman has, hands down, the crappiest animation I have ever seen in an anime.
