The flick deleted certain essential points such as why he sheds tears whenever he kills, hence he is "Crying' Freeman, why Emu waits for his return (to kill her), etc. Freeman weeps after defeating his opponents because, at least initially, the killings are carried out under hypnotic command, and the tears represent both the release from the hypnosis and also his personal regret for taking lives. The film should have included some variation of these elements to give it spiritual depth.
I was in this movie as a bodyguard in a great scene in the restaurant. However i've never seen it all or been able to find it, any help would be appreciated.
wait... so those of you who have read the manga/watched the anime thinks this is a good adaption? I randomly picked this movie and watched it together with my brother and sis and we almost fell asleep because of the poor poor acting wow
@cryssbest yeah but i tell you who's my favourite Actor is Sylvester Stallone my favourite movie is Expendables Rambo And All These Action Movies And i like Mark Dacascos I Seen Drive and Kickboxer 5 and Cradle 2 The Grave Good movies mark dacascos is great not my favourite actor but:)
The best anime turned movie ever made... It is REALLY similar, unlike Max Payne(I know its an American) video game, or even Dragon Ball Evolution which were not similar at all!
Great movie... I loved the anime and watched it for years and than one day I woke up and found out they made a LIVE action film out of it! I loved it as equal to the anime. Could someone please tell me where I can watch it in English though? I do not speak any other languages unfortunately.
I know he blows Shimazaki's brains out in the anime though (the first one)... And his body guards too.. Aren't the Manga's usually similiar? Maybe not
Yeah, he uses swords a TON at the very end.... You haven't seen it?? I just found the English version on a site... you need an email address and a screen name for the sight, the rest is optional... it's called megavideo....
hey brother, this movie was released in 1997 (if i not mistaken)...i watched more than 20 times. good movie, good fighting skills. the freeman is played by Mark Dacascos
aclockworkjerry you have right.this movie is really great.and he deserve a bette rep.this is one of my favorite movies of all time.and mark dacascos he should be the bigger star then he is now.he just make most B-Movies.He`s got talent and no one in Hollywood see that.

If Brandon Lee was still living Freeman and Golgo 13 would be perfect for him.

true, but they make freeman use the gun as a primary weapon in the movie, or at least the clips do

Probably never on DVD in the US - look for it on VCD if you don't have a region free DVD player.
