Hello,

I'm new here, so if this isn't the where the thread is supposed to be, then I extend my apologies for not abiding by the rules. >.<

I'm very interested in the wuxia/fantasy genre. No modern for me. Tongue If anyone would like to recommend a movie or show, please do so. Would really appreciate it.

Thanks. Smile

Thank you very much. I have Return of the Condor Heroes 2006 since I remember watching the really old version when I was young and loved it at the time. Also got Sword Stained with Royal Blood 2006 Tongue

I am unsure of what you mean by the Tv series in order though. Although I have ROCH, I haven't had time to watch it yet nor the other one either. (One day I will though.) Do mean that it's one really long epic story and should watch it in that order to truly appreciate the history behind each serie? Also, I was under the impression that the order is Legend of the Condor Heroes, Return of the Condor Heros and then ending with Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber.

Not many wuxia/fantasy come to my mind. You can try Wind & Cloud, The Sword and the Chess of Death, Chinese Paladin and Devil's Disciples.

For pure wuxia, you can try out what Airhead mentioned. In addition, you might want to try out The Duke of Mount Deer 1984, Legend of the Condor Heroes 1994, The Book and the Sword, Face to Fate and Tian Xia Di Yi (The World's Finest).

For a little wuxia/historical, Young Warriors (Shao Nian Yang Jia Jiang) is a must watch. Mr. Green

But not everything in this list is subbed, such as "The Sword and the Chess of Death" and "The World's Finest." I've never heard of "Devil's Disciples" though perhaps I should check it out. I can also add Fairy of Chalice, Genius Physician Ti Ying, Young Zhang San Feng, Twin of Brothers, The Proud Twins and Patriotic Knights.

The World's Finest has been aired in Singapore with English subtitles but I think no one recorded it so that's too bad. My fansub team is gonna sub The Sword and the Chess of Death.

I don't really keep track of whether a series is subbed or not because I don't require them. Cool

Nope it's not out yet but it will be out soon... sometimes this spring... lol. Just check d-addicts for it.

Devil's Disciple's was alright... I've watched better series from TVB.

Journey to the West
Book and Sword, Gratitude and Revenge
Chinese Paladin (lol no one mentioned this, it's so wuxia/fantasy)
Eight Heroes
Seven Swordsmen
Legend of Dagger Li
Big Shot
The Spirit of the Sword

Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion
Guts of Man

Jiang Hu Fansubs is reporting that they are doing it on their wiki. You will have to wait awhile though because they have a few projects on hand already

Try watching Final Combat, it's a funny Wuxia series starring Ng Meng tat, Stephen Chow and Ms. Teresa Carpio

It's really comic and the story is absurd but it's Stephen Chow so I watched it...

I am a fan of Jin Yong (LOuis Cha) Wuxia Novel but my fave is ROCH. Have you watched The Eagle Shooting Hero? You should watch it first before watching ROCH then maybe watch what happened 100 years after when Zhang Wu Ji appears in The Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre *lol*

BTW, try watching the TVB version, they're better... I felt the China version is a bit dragging but it has a very good scenery! I like Louis Koo and Carman Lee's version of Return of the Condor Heroes, I think as my cousin said it's the nearest version to the book.

Other recommendations:
Andy Lau and TOny Leung's version of Duke of Mt. Deer (Tony Leung here is sooo funny you wouldn't think he's been casted in 2046 or In the mood for love... )

Smiling Proud Wanderer (Xiao Au Jiang Hu) Nice version by Lu Song Xian (TVB Ver.)
