Guest Ching li Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 now since twin swords is perceived as the sequel for temple of the red lotus, i would like to know what came first, on just about all the sites have this title released in the year 1964, but temple of the red lotus was released in 1965, so is there a mistake there or what?

Guest teako170 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 According to Shaw Screen: Temple of the Red Lotus - 10.01.65 The Twin Swords - 12.22.65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ching li Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 that's what i thought, but i also thought i could have been making a mistake. thanks for clearing that up teako170 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Watched this last night. Good, not quite as good as the first and third parts, but I still enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Question: Who played the following parts? 1. Chu's Grandmother (the eldest family member) 2. Chia Chi, Chu's brother 3. Kan Hsing (not exactly sure how he relates within the family). The only unmatched actor name I have is: Chao Ming. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HwangDi Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 sorry to be a little ignorant, what's the third part of this series called? They sound good I'd like to buy and watch all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulyOne Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think the other two are "temple of the red lotus" and "sword and the lute" I am fairly sure that "temple" comes first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harlem Shaw Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Twin Swords is actually second in the series. A precurser to Cheh's House of Traps IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Isfahani Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 YEah I was thinking the same thing the other night. I'll have to watch them all in a row to see if my opinion of 'best out of three' for this one will change, it could be just that this one is fresh in the mind, and so... However, one thing is for sure: I never ever need to see Wang Yu fake the crying and emoting again. Truly a stretch of his acting skills in any film of this era IMO.

Member Killer Meteor Posted March 18, 2013 Member Share Posted March 18, 2013 I enjoyed this one. Very rich in detail and atmosphere. Hearing an actual Chinese-style score instead of the later practice of using Western music helps a lot. Wang Yu's acting is quite good too. It's weird in retrospect seeing him so lively.

Member ShawAngela Posted January 31, 2018 Member Share Posted January 31, 2018 I just took a look to the synopsis mentioned on the back cover of this dvd and saw that Chi Ping plays heroine Kan Lien Chu. So, it makes me wondering if it's the same Kan Lien Chu as in the movie Heroine Kan Lien Chu with Chia Ling. If so, i watched both movies years ago and never realized that they wee related to the same story... It seems that it's time for me to rewatch both of them !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chemical Lemon Posted January 31, 2018 Member Share Posted January 31, 2018 The Temple of the Red Lotus, The Twin Swords, and The Sword and the Lute are all parts of the same story (same actors/characters/director). I thought I remember someone saying once there was a 4th movie in the series, but that might just be my bad memory. They may be based on a book "The Tale of the Extraordinary Swordsman", which is what an older series of Silent movies called The Burning of the Red Lotus temple are based on (I've never seen them, I don't think, but possibly saw one episode in NYC 10 or so years ago). So I wouldn't be surprised if there are several movies that seem unrelated that may be based on a short section of the same story. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Iron_Leopard Posted July 18, 2021 Member Share Posted July 18, 2021 I just got done watching this and I was blown away. I was glued to the screen for every second of this movie. This is credited as only the second martial arts film made at Shaw Brothers and I think it's better than 95% of their entire discography. This movie also confirmed what I've known for a least a year but could never admit it..Chin Ping is my favorite Shaw actress. I've officially committed to this decision lol. Also who was the little girl who played Xiaoling? Did she go on to do more stuff at the studio? She stole this movie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if not, one of the biggest child stars in HK and daughter of Fung Fung, sister of Fung Hak On.
