@209yangyang In my opinion, Ady An (Zhao Min 2009) is prettier. Certain angles don't look good on her, but the many that do make my jaw drop. She also benefits from a better costume department.

I just realized that Deng Chao (Zhang Wuji) sings the opening. This coming right after realizing the Ady An (Zhao Min) sings the ending. Why didn't I catch this the first time I watched this series?

I just realized that Ady An sings the ending theme song. Not bad.

Do my eyes deceive me? A full episode!? Yes, yes, yes, thank you, yes.

DGSD and the Condor Trilogy have very few things that are linked. Reverend Yideng is a descendant of Duan Yu, Hong Qigong & Guo Jing are martial descendants of Xiao Feng. The Beggar Clan and Shaolin Temple exist in both times. That's about all the links I can think of. The Ming Cult is supposed t...

Little Zhirou is cute. I bet she grows up to be prettier than older Zhirou.

@SaintDragonfly I'm sure they know that he knows. They're just too proud to make trouble for a little kid. Also the more chivalrous of them feel some guilt towards the dual suicides. Not to mention Yin SuSu's masterful deception.

I enjoy these idiosyncrasies that show up throughout filming such a long serial. Even higher budget Hollywood films are not exempt from them. In The Fellowship of the Ring, you can see that one of Christopher Lee's wrists is bandaged. A Rider of Rohan falls off his horse and a horse jumps over hi...

Sorry about that, I can't read Chinese script. Yeah she looks nice.

@Noryle You can say he got typecasted lol.

Some of the greatest films in history have long static shots, "e.g... cam set on one person sitting for over 1 min doing nothing..." Sergio Leone's magnum opus Once Upon a Time in the West had many long shots on nothing but actors faces. Citizen Kane, The Dollars Trilogy, the works of Alfred Hitc...

@uToo2010 To say that this version has too much drama compared to the older version isn't entirely correct. The 2003 version has many scenes that did not exist in the original story purely for melodramatic flare that at the same time introduce loopholes.

If you compare the fight choreography in ...

I'm glad in this version they finally shoved out the money to get him some contacts so he doesn't have to do that thing where he's constantly looking down, furrowing his brow, and turning his eyes upward to look blind. Elvis Tsui looked like he had a terrible headache throughout all of HSDS 2003.

@lunarman07 Lol, that's such a bad thing to say, but I'd have to admit I feel the same way.

The fake snow effect is blinding me!

That beard is so epic!

@doua826 You haven't even seen any of the main actors yet! This is prologue still.

@lYakuzal Huang Yaoshi commented that Yang Guo's 13 Melancholic Palms's only rival is Guo Jing's 18 Dragon Subduing Palms in sheer force. Zhou Botong even expressed admiration of it towards Huang Rong. But in his last fight with Jinlun Fawang, his palms lost power during to him being happy, havin...

@TeapotFTW The latest HSDS before this was the 2003 version with Alec Su and Alyssa Chia. The 2006 version you're referring is probably The Return of the Condor Heroes (2006). That and 2003's LotCH are sister series to this all three of which produced by Zhang Jizhong.

This version has a better ...

I'd like to say that while Jackie Chan is much better than Chuck Norris. Neither can compare to Yu Chenghui. Chuck Norris is not even worthy of brushing Yu Chenghui's beard.

@ntsuab2 This series is based off the Gu Long book, Juedai Shuangjiao. I say that with a cringe because the plot is totally different. Only a few story elements and main character names are the same. Needless the the book's ending is vastly different from the ending of this series. I've never lik...

@despairedboy Actually she's the daughter of the commander of the Yuan forces Chaghan Temur. It'd be closer to say that she's the daughter of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.

I find the way Xie Xun addresses the 4 girls really humorous. Something to the tune of "stinky lass."

"The grave of my wife Zhu'er Yin Li - her husband Zhang Wuji sincerely."

Rough translation of the tablet.

How is Xie Xun able to do a Lion Roar when his can't use his chi? Why did they have to make a raft? The Persian Ming Cult leader not willing to spare a small ship for their use? This shit happens when you deviate half hazardly from the source. In retrospect, the book had a few such cases in terms...

@RiseofBane Her actions actually make sense. She has not done anything to harm Wuji personally. Her murder of Yin Li and the framing of Zhao Min makes her the only option left. If she ends up marrying him, who's to say she won't give him the manuals?

"true enemy...Yuan, not Ming" She harmed Yin ...

@janellsilapan Though that is a factor. I'd like to point out that among all her fellow Emei disciples, she has the strongest character and highest martial arts potential. Miejue saw this and realized her potential as a leader. Miejue was willing to make Ji Xiaofu her successor even after her enc...

"I can see her belly button. What a WHORE!" In all seriousness though, I wanted to see some kissing action in this scene. That's one down. In the coming episode or two the playing field is gonna be whittled down quickly.

The method by which Zhu'er is supposed to find out Wuji's identity is rather odd, sad, and funny at the same time. Later she chastises him for it.

Those 3 moves are all disregarding-life-for-victory moves that she used. The third move, was developed by Yin Liting for the express purpose of fighting Yang Xiao because he knew he wasn't Yang Xiao's match. Zhao Min's supposed to learn it from one of Yin Liting's students at Wan'An Temple.

Lol, they couldn't find 2 middle eastern guys so they got a white guy instead. Though their voices are strained and heavily accented like it's supposed to be, I can't help myself from finding their speech humorous. "Hu shou jiu dao! Hu shou jiu dao!"

I do not believe Zhang SanFeng, a man who has spent almost a century practicing The Way, would take such an interest in the love life of his student.

I clicked on the video because I thought I saw someone who looked vaguely like Ady An. I was thoroughly disappointed. Not only is she not present. Nicholas Tse is in this. Going to pass on this.

"O.M.G. Zhao Min is such a whore! Look at her showing off her feet at the slightest chance. Have some decency!"

Finally the story gets back on track!

This segment's complaint is directed towards Li Yapeng's annoying retard speech portrayal of Guo Jing in The Legend of the Condor Heroes (2003). I really liked his portrayal of Linghu Chong in Laughing in the Wind(2001), and overall his Guo Jing, while not t...

I have voiced my dismay for this series in previous segments over and over. I feel that if by now you, who is reading this comment, have not realized some of my points, I'm just beating a dead horse.

On that account, every segment which I have something complain about, I will instead complain ab...

@RiseofBane As for masterful series in the overall category, many people recommend Legend of the Condor Heroes '83 and Demi-Gods & Semi-Devils '96. In terms of girls, all versions of The Duke of Deer Mountain have at least 7 good looking women but the series is less about martial arts.

To reitera...

"I know! Let's add in superfluous melodrama that not only stagnates plot advancement but also creates massive loopholes within the story!"

If Wuji had not identified the Emei signal, that would have been passable as he can just claim he's curious. But the appearance and subsequent submission of ...

What the hell is with this superfluous and illogical scene? Why does she need to threaten with her life when Wuji is more than able to kick every single one of their asses from Dadu to Jiangnan. Almost every scene they add into this edition makes no sense!

Weird. Song QuanQiao(1) and Mo Shenggu(7) are here. Yu Daiyan(3) and Yin Liting(6) are at Mt. Wudang. Zhang Cuishan(5) is dead. Where's Yu Lianzhou(2) and Zhang Songxi(4)? They along with many other people were supposed to be in the pagoda, but evidently this series doesn't have enough money to c...
