One more thing I loved about #LOCHmovie is that Tsui Hark astutely picked the popular theme song from the 1983 TVB adaptation as the main soundtracks for his movie.

MAAC Review: Legends Of The Condor Heroes - The Gallants - M.A.A.C. With his career now spanning six decades, Tsui Hark continues to be one of the most definitive directors working in action cinema. Even now, with him hitting 75 years old, Hark shows no signs of slowi...

Just found this extremely even-handed review of #LOCHmovie by someone who has not read the entire #JinYong novel but who got totally invested in the movie all the same.
"... his film is filled with an energy that is lacking from many similar #wuxia tales..."

Yesterday I saw #LOCHmovie! I absolutely loved it! Cinematography is atmospheric. The touching themes in the novel are meshed well: Guo Jing's moral bravado, the resilient love btwn him & Huang Rong & his divided loyalty as Temujin's foster son and a Han patriot. Fight scenes are cool & explosive!

With the release or imminent release of #TsuiHark 's #LOCHmovie starring #XiaoZhan, some of you may want to know more about #wuxia fiction and its long history and #JinYong 's life and works. Feel free to check out my talk on the China History Podcast on such topics.

Yes, I've heard about the Chinese ent industry power struggles and certain parties aiming to suppress #LOCHmovie. Sad.

The novel #LegendoftheCondorHeroes 射鵰英雄傳 is a childhood favorite of mine, and growing up I've seen numerous TV, film & webdrama adaptations. For me, the biggest attraction of the new #LOCHmovie is the #XiaoZhan version of Guo Jing! The #wuxia media will have a field day with world audiences!

Legends of the Condor Heroes is Secretly the World's Biggest Movie Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants might be the biggest movie in the world now, but it's completely ignored in English language media

Not amused Sony Pictures (who acquired world-wide distribution rights for Tsui Hark's #LOCHmovie) still hasn't got a release date for Canada! 😤😤😤 Please help spread the word!!!

📌 #LegendoftheCondorHeroes #LOCHmovie (adaptation of the #wuxia classic written by the legendary #JinYong) is coming to US cinemas on February 21. Stay tuned! Keeping my fingers crossed it will come to Canadian cinemas too!! I wouldn't miss it for the world!

So thrilled to find that the theme song 鐵血丹心 from the 1983 TVB version of the #JinYong #wuxia classic #LegendsoftheCondorHeroes is used in the #TsuiHark adaptation #LOCHmovie! It is a Cantonese classic sung by the iconic Roman Tam and Zhen Ni that's loved by Hong Kongers!

Are you excited about #TsuiHark 's upcoming #LOCHmovie with the inimitable #XiaoZhan as Guo Jing (protagonist in #JinYong 's #wuxia classic #LegendoftheCondorHeroles)?
I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy the action-packed film even if you've not yet read the original novel.
