Member khuu_2000 Posted June 8, 2020 Member Share Posted June 8, 2020 I don't think a 1985 version exists,only one version 1993(remake Reincarned 1979),may be this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member khuu_2000 Posted June 8, 2020 Member Share Posted June 8, 2020 Personaly I prefer the one from 1979 (Reincarded) and sequel (Dragon strikes) avec Jason Pai Piao and Bruce Leung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted June 8, 2020 Author Member Share Posted June 8, 2020 I wonder...The picture was a black and white photo and it looked like a Taiwanese series, maybe. I recently found a Lu Xiao Feng's Taiwanese series with Barry Chan, so, it may be a Taiwanese version of Reincarnated...which is still in my to watch pile together with Dragon strikes. Isn't On the waterfront also a sequel to the two previous ones you mentioned ? I saw the above clip just after having asked my question here ; what is the English title of this remake ?

Member khuu_2000 Posted June 8, 2020 Member Share Posted June 8, 2020 Reincarned 2 ,and for answer your question about "On the warterfront" doesn't have to do with "reincarned" and "Dragon strikes" like "Heaven sword,Dragon sabre" with "Legend of condor" and "Return of condor" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legend of the Golden Lion is also a series related to Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, since it tells the story of Zhang Wuji's Godfather and explains why he became almost mad and killed all these people at the beginning of Heaven Sword and Dragon sabre.

And this kind of spider web at the end of the fight, what a find !! I guess that it's a clip from the 1984 series, right ? or is it the ATV 1979 series ?

That clip is from Dragon Strike, the sequel to the TV series Reincarnated (Bastard Swordsman) with most of the same cast members and Jason Piao Pai & Bruce Liang. There was supposed to be a 2014 remake co-produced with a mainland company and staring Norman's son Edward Chui playing the role his father played in the original but I haven't seen/heard anything so not sure if it was ever made.

Member whitesnake Posted June 11, 2020 Member Share Posted June 11, 2020 Looking online for Norman Chu and Bastard Swordsman TV series - http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/people.asp?id=150 "Before he became a film star, Norman was a TV star with his very popular role in 'Metamorphasis of the Heavenly Silkworm' in the late 70's." https://www.lovehkfilm.com/people/tsui_siu_keung.htm "He first gained attention as an actor at RTV (now called ATV, the second largest television station in Hong Kong) with his role in the TV series 'Reincarnated' AKA 'Metamorphosis of the Heavenly Silkworm'. The central character of Wan Fei-Yeung has become one of his most popular and infamous roles. Though the series had been winning against TVB in the ratings, Tsui was fired halfway through the series and replaced with another actor due to his periodic disappearances and disputes with the producers. He later starred in The Bastard Swordsman (1983), which is a movie adaptation of the story, and was brought in to play the character again at ATV in 1993 when Wan Fei-Yeung was literally resurrected from the dead for 'Reincarnated II'." And there's even a Wikipedia entry for TV series Reincarnated (1979) with a detailed plot synopsis at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnated_(TV_series) Decades ago I watched a videotape of clips (no subtitles) from the Reincarnated series, borrowed from a friend who had taped the clips off tv, and lent me the tape after we had seen The Bastard Swordsman movie at the Great Star Theater in San Francisco.
