Bodycount[]

Notes:

Not accounted: abstract "dead Huns" mentioned by Dragon, assorted ancestors mentioned throughout the movie.
Premiered on festival in 1988 but not released widely until 1989, categorized to both years.
Dragon accounted as one entity: his heads were shown to have some degree of autonomy but overall represent different shades of one personality.
Dragon is accounted despite his resurrection in the end of the movie, which is seemingly meant to be metaphorical rather than literal.
Lancelot mentions that he was wounded deadly three times before which suggests that he might have resurrected somehow before, as well, but since that is left to interpretation, he is not accounted.
Despite Dragon mentions constantly killing his guards, he was only shown doing that once and in a specific personality state (head) so guards seen throughout the movie are not accounted.

Count	Name	Cause of Death	Killer	Notes
1-3.	Three guards	Exploded by something concealed in a case.	The Dragon (Oleg Yankovskiy)	Only three people actually killed by Dragon in the movie, although he mutilates and beats people regularly whilst in his militarist persona/head.
4.	The Dragon (Oleg Yankovskiy)	Beheaded of all three heads (mostly offscreen) with a sword while in dragon form.	Lancelot (Aleksandr Abdulov)	Later also symbolically represented by destruction of his statue (also pictured). Later resurrected metaphorically.
5.	Guard	Blunt force trauma from a thrown pavement stone.	Citizen

Debatable[]

Count	Name	Debated Death?	Killer?
1.	Guard Superior	It could be presumed that he was exploded among the rest of the guards as he disappears after the shot of explosion, however he was not shown entering the room in which one happened. Pictured is him standing on the right of the shot, while others run to meet their death in the explosion.	The Dragon (Oleg Yankovskiy)

Time	Shots	Actor/Double	Notes
17 seconds	2	Oleg Yankovskiy (credit)	Credited as "O. Yankovskiy" in end credits.
15 minutes 21 seconds	65	Oleg Yankovskiy	Different versions account as (default militarist human form), (blonde head), (samurai head) and (resurrected). Following two shots might also be Yankovskiy and are only suspected to be a double, not 100% confirmed.
5 seconds	2	Possible unknown double.	As Oleg Yankovskiy is seen rushing out immediately after figure walks in with seemingly no edit between them it is likely a double.
46 seconds	12	Dragon models and optical effects.	Some of those are likely simple lighting equipment wrangled near set windows.
39 seconds	9	Light and beams emitted directly by Dragon.
49 seconds	14	Shots in which only dragon's voice is heard.	Including some that feature him partially, but mostly concentrate on other actors (in such rare cases parts with onscreen appearances were accounted as separate shots of actor despite they're technically not).
2 minutes 28 seconds	24	Shots in which Dragon's growling is heard.	Including both growling-like and jet-like noises.
3 minutes 47 seconds	13	Shots with depictions of Dragon.	Including his statue, as well as the only shot of a dragon kite which also does not have Dragon himself piloting it.
