(Hong Kong Edition)
Original﹕Jin Yong's novels
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 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 performances are 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...
