A Sword Named Revenge (1981) is one of my favorite non-Shaws Gu Long films. Also Master and the Kid, Bruce Tuan's Seven Promises, Last Hero in China, A Brotherhood of Heroes, Return of the Deadly Blade, Witty Hand, Witty Sword... to name a few. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member morpheus Posted June 12, 2020 Member Share Posted June 12, 2020 I don't know of any sequel to Magic Blade, but I know the character of Fu Hung Hsieh shows up as a Ti Lung cameo in Death Duel (1977). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 12, 2020 Member Share Posted June 12, 2020 The sequel to Magic blade is Pursuit of vengeance, and yes, Fu Hung Hsueh also appears in Death duel. It's the same for the ATV series : Legend of Fu Hung Suet and The Moon sabre are related, but I don' t know if there is a specific order to watch them, and maybe they are even related to other series talking about Fu Hung Hsueh too... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The characters in 5SM are not the same 5 who fled the burning temple in ST. Shaolin Avengers tells the story of the heroes' lives before Shaolin Temple, during the brief period that Fu Sheng and Chi Kuan Chun escape from the temple, and after the events of ST. The three films together form a complete narrative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron_Leopard Posted June 13, 2020 Member Share Posted June 13, 2020 The Magic Blade = A Fistfull of Dollars Pursuit of Vengeance = For a Few Dollars more Both sequels were actual prequels if I'm not mistaken. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we now need the equivalent to "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." Come to think of it, this might be the first film since Blondie gets his famous poncho in it.....???

Member YnEoS Posted August 22, 2020 Member Share Posted August 22, 2020 btw if anyone is interested in reading some of the original Gu Long novels (or some other wuxia novels) there's a bunch of fan translations collected here. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Blondie getting his poncho only in the final act of this film has always bugged me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're sticking to the ATV adaptations of the Gu Long novels, here is the chronological timeline of the storylines: The Legend of Fu Hung Suet 1989 (based on Bordertown Wanderer). Condor in September 1986 (based on Eagle Soaring in Ninth Month). The Moon Sabre 1984 (based on Horizon Bright Moon Saber). Why ATV adapted the novels out of order in the same decade if they were going to focus on the characters of Ye Kai and Fu Hong Xue goes beyond me. Random trivia: Lo Lieh was in both Pursuit of Vengeance and The Legend of Fu Hung Suet as different characters. Law Lok Lam also appeared in both The Legend of Fu Hung Suet and The Moon Sabre as different characters. TVB also made their own adaptation in 1989 as The Black Sabre and there's an obscure Taiwanese adaptation in the same year. Not sure if Gu Long's estate was selling the rights for TV adaptation without exclusivity, as it's rare (if not impossible) to see ATV & TVB adapt the same novel in the same year. The closest I could think of was when Xiao Ao Jiang Hu (The Smiling Proud Wanderer) was adapted for TV in the year 2000 by Singaporean and Taiwanese studios. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chu Liu Xiang was also adapted by ATV and TVB, but ATV had to change it to "It takes a thief"... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the title (and name) changes, many forget that ATV did adapt Chu Liu Xiang. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that it's related to Chu Yuan or Gu Long, but TVB and ATV made another similar series : One sword for TVB and Spirit of the sword for ATV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit of the Sword is also a Gu Long novel, while One Sword took elements from multiple novels and threw it into one. You can disregard any connection with director Chu Yuan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
