Today’s viewing: #TheWaterMargin (Chang Cheh, 1972) the classic wuxia epic from Shaw Brothers based on the legendary 14th century Chinese novel about a group of heroes battling the corruption of the Song dynasty. #filmsky
‘The Water Margin’ UMD box on a wooden table.
‘The Water Margin’ (1973), PSP, £1. It’s not an animation, which is what you might think from the artwork, it’s a live action show from the early 70s, which used to be shown on the BBC. This is one disc containing three episodes.
