Heaven Sword And Dragon Sabre DVD Region 3

Jin Yong's epic martial arts saga comes to life in Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, director Chu Yuan's winning 1978 film adaptation of the popular novel. Meant to be the third part in a trilogy of books after The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes, the novel (and film) is set in the late Yuan period roughly one hundred years after the events of the second novel. The sweeping tale of Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre centers directly on the weapons of its title, as numerous rival clans vie to possess these magnificent weapons. According to popular legend, either weapon can practically guarantee the wielder that he or she will reign supreme in the martial arts world, but even more curious, if the two blades are brought together, it is rumored then an even greater power will be unleashed.

As others quest for the fabled weapons, the film follows the adventures of Zhang Wuji (portrayed by future Lost in Time director Derek Yee), the offspring of a tragic, star-crossed romance involving members of two different clans. With Wuji poisoned by a deadly martial arts technique and soon orphaned in his youth, the film charts our young hero's ascent to power as he finds himself caught in all-out clan war involving the Wu-Tang Clan, the Emei Sect, the Ming Cult, and the Shaolin Temple! Only Wuji knows the location of his godfather, the Golden Lion King, the current wielder of the Dragon Sabre. But who will get to him first? Find out in this lavish Shaw Brothers production!

　　這部金庸電影共分上、下兩集，此為1978年版本的上集，由楚原改編及執導。主要人物由羅烈飾金毛獅王謝遜、爾冬陞飾張無忌、余安安飾周芷若、王戎飾明教光明左使楊逍、鄭麗芳飾小昭、文雪兒飾殷離、王萊飾滅絕師太、張璊客串張三豐。故事描述，武林神器倚天劍、屠龍刀，已落在滅絕師太及謝遜之手，惟兩者需合璧，方可找出秘密，雄霸天下……

　　Director Chu Yuan's titanic teaming with respected, inspired author Chin Yung created this unforgettable saga. Set during the Yuan Dynasty, it tells the fascinating story of the "Sacred Fire" sect, the Wu Tang swordsmanship clan, the disciples of the O Mei group, The Book of Chu Yang (which can make the reader immortal), and the destruction of Shaolin - complete with a killer cliffhanger. And that's just the start of the fascinating intrigues and ingratiating characters found here.
