Production notes
This direct-to-video series ran for six episodes.
Based on Kazuo Koike and Ryoichi Ikegami's 1986 manga in "Big Comic Spirits."
Animation quality deteriorated to very cheap levels by the final episodes.
The sixth and final part of this series was edited heavily in the United Kingdom, and it was released on the same tape as the fourth episode.
Dubbed by Streamline Pictures and Manga Video, which offered outrageously fake Chinese accents.
Christophe Gans directed a 1997 live-action remake starring Mark Cacassos.
An unofficial 1991 Chinese version, directed by Clarence Ford, was released as "Dragon From Russia."
