Like all swordplay novels by Jin Yong (whose real name being Louis Cha), The Return of the Condor Heroes has been adapted to numerous TV dramas and films throughout the past few decades. Many actors and actresses, such as Louis Koo and Carmen Lee, Richie Jen and Jacklyn Wu, have stared as the forbidden couple in the novel, but none can impressed the audience to such a great extent as Andy Lau and Idy Chan in the 1983 TVB version.
Its high audience share, reportedly reaching a record-breaking 90% once, has already proved its allure. The Return of the Condor Heroes may be regarded as the best and most representative TV series by the top Hong Kong star Andy Lau, who was still a young boy back then. This classic title now comes back on DVD with English subtitles! Most of the scenes deleted in the VCD version are now added back for fans to have a fuller enjoyment of this classic.
The production team of this drama was also the most formidable one that could be gathered in Hong Kong at the time. The director was Wong Tim Lam, a famous filmmaker since the 1950s and recently he got nominated for the Best Supporting Actor in the Golden Horse Awards 2005 for Election.
The now renowned producer Wai Ka Fai served as the scriptwriter, and Ching Siu Tung, action director for popular movies such as House of Flying Daggers, was responsible for the action choreography in The Return of the Condor Heroes. The combined efforts of the outstanding production team and the irreplaceable cast made this version the best-received one among all the TV adaptations of The Return of the Condor Heroes.
