Ci Ma Taiwan 1992 ; Ci Ma contained in the CTV series The top ten assassins 1976

These series is related to the Shaws' movie Blood brothers.

David Chiang plays in the 1992 one, but I haven't had time to watch it as yet, so, I'm not sure if he plays the same role he played in the movie, or if he plays the role of Ma Xing Yi (Ti Lung's role).

Three heroes and five gallants ; The seven heroes and five gallants ; The conspiracy of the eunuch TVB

These series are related to King cat and Cat vs rat, since some of the characters from these movies were part of the five gallants who served Judge Bao.

They are also related to House of traps, since Chin Siu Ho's Bai Yu tang works for Judge Bao.

The TVB series I mention is precisely more focused on Bai Yu Tang's story.

Unyielding Master Lim TVB 1986

While looking for something in the internet, I came across an interesting information about this series.

Not only its aka is Ling Chong, but it tells the story of the hero Ling Chong, so, it must be related for sure to the Shaws' movie Pursuit, since I heard this movie is mainly telling the story of the hero of the Water Margin Ling Chong.

I have had this series for years in my collection and still hadn't decided to sit down and watch it, but knowing this now makes me have the desire to watch it...Plus the fact that Ling Chong is played by Eddy Ko Hung, I guess that it must be an interesting series, though a less talked about one...

The Shaw Brothers' movies, Bastard Swordsman (1983) and Return of the Bastard Swordsman (1984) are based on a 1979 TV series, Reincarnated (aka The Transformation of the Heavenly Silkworm). Norman Chu Siu-Keung played the main character, Yun Fei Yang in the TV series and the Bastard Swordsman movies. A friend videotaped scenes from the TV series for me back in the day.

Just to be sure, you are watching the 1976 TVB series with Adam Cheng, right ? Or are you watching the later one with Tony Leung ?

Did I miss something in dialogue or was it something told in novel but not in serie as it made absolutely no sense why Cheung pretended his legs were broken:thinking

Do you mean Adam Cheng's character ? I watched the series long ago, but it seems to me that he was kind of poisoned and couldn,t walk, unless I'm mistaken.

Yes. He fell into sort of cave complex with bad guy but he walks then and when gets out he just lays on the ground when girl sees him. She uses poison spider to herself(and gets ugly face). The for a while others carry him but during big group fight just decides to get up. It not any footage is missing it is minor thing but quite weird anyway.
