YesAsia Editorial Description

TVB swordplay drama classic The New Heaven Sword and the Dragon Sabre starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai now comes with English subtitles!

TV series adapted from Jin Yong's novels have always been popular among TV fans. Among the different TV adaptations of The New Heaven Sword and the Dragon Sabre, the 1986 TVB version starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai is perhaps the best loved one. The producer picked Tony Leung, who was already quite popular in 1986, to star as an indecisive but kind-hearted young man who learns some powerful martial arts skills by accident. While he has no problems in fighting against the villains, he puts himself in great trouble in choosing among the three women he comes across. The then new actresses Kitty Lai, Sheren Tang, and Maggie Shiu portray these three women to perfection, each possessing a different charisma. Simon Yam, Dodo Cheng, and Kenneth Tsang's supporting performance is also indispensable to the success of this action packed drama, with fighting scenes choreographed by the famous Ching Siu Tung.

Ten years ago, a heroic couple (Simon Yam and Dodo Cheng) was kidnapped to a remote island to look for the Dragon Sabre. Now they return to mainland with their son Wuji (Tony Leung), and all the swordsmen are after them for the legendary weapon. The couple commits suicide to uphold their honor, leaving Wuji an orphan to adventure in the martial arts world alone...

Not disappointed! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I bought this DVD for my hubby's birthday (he is Australian) so that he could enjoys one of my favourite stories.
We both enjoyed the series a lot, hubby was actually thinking about re-watching some of the episodes!!!

Things we don't like about the series:
- hee hee hee, the 80's special effects are laughable, when the boat to Ice-Fire Island crashed... it was the camera rocking instead of the boat!!! It's very funny and we have a good laugh;
- ooooh, and when Wuji encountered the gorilla in the cave... OMG! I am sure they can do better than that silly costume! (This is the most embrassing moment for me... being a HK girl! How can TVB be so tacky!!!)
- the subtitle overall is great, except I hope they would be a bit more creative when translating characters' names than just using 'pinyin'. For a non-Chinese audience, all the characters' names sound very similar and are quite difficult to follow! For example, the Graphic Novel of 'Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre' by Mr Ma Wing-Shing translated the Ermei's sect leader as 'Priestess No Mercy' rather than 'Priestess MieJue'. Now, No Mercy is much more memorable for the non-Chinese audience and also allow an insight to the character!

All in all though, if you can remember that it is a 1980s local production (try to compare that to 'Bold and the Beautiful' or some other cheap sitcoms in the same era) - you will enjoy the series. The acting is great and the story is excellent. And finally, don't expect the battle scenes to be anything like the books... :)

Impressed Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I have watched all the HSDS series and I think that this is the best one of them all. It follows the novel most closely. Bear in mind that this series is close to 20 years old and graphically it will not be appealing, but the actors do a much better job acting. For all you non-chinese fans out there, the english subtitles on the series really impressed me, it followed very closely to the real dialogue. Much better quality than what you would normally expect from a foreign film. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone that is a wuxia fan

Loved the show Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Bought this DVD set and loved it. It's my favourite show out of the TVB condor trilogy shot in the 1980s and it was great to see it presented in this format, although I am not sure if it is really uncut, as claimed. The theme song has not been digitally remastered and I realise that some scenes are also not digitally remastered - perhaps TVB thought those scenes were mass scenes and did not need to be remastered. This gives the series an uneven quality as you view it, although I must say that ALL the major scenes and ALL the personal dialogue scenes are digitally remastered. The acting by Tony Leung is fantastic and the cast is generally very good. Pace and direction move along smoothly as well. If you bear in mind the constraints facing the making of the series, and given the period in which it was shot, this production comes out very well. Highly recommended.

To the young ones " Xiang" Customer Review Rated Bad 0 - 0 out of 10
asides from it not being UNCUT series, this is my favorite series. i suggest the same like you, DO NOT BUY, WAIT FOR THE REAL UNCUT VERSION, just have the push the right button to get TVB's attention. Xiang, i mean this in the nice way... In case if you do not know, this was made in 1986, my guess is that you were not even born yet. techonology was not as advance as now, not only that, do you know they have very little budget to work with in these chinese tv series, not to say the least it's probably shot within 2-3 months only? What this makes this a classic is that the actors were brilliant, the storytelling was great, for the less amount of time and money, they were still able to capture the essense of the novel. one of hong kong's film trait is knowing how to stretch a dollar. i can tell you most of us who pick up these classic all know that about the cheezey props/set, and the bad 80's style costume, but we grew up with it, and loved it. for somebody who purchase an 80's tv series and expects 2008 quality... you're mocking yourself. and proved you did not know its these great classics build the foundations or set the bars for tv series made today, that is why you still see most of the actors in this series still big in Hong Kong. Especially, Tony Leung, don't tell me you did not reconize him, he's the lead actor. one of the top actor in Hong Kong now.
