Region: 3

Distributor: Celestial

Chapters: 12

Picture: Another outstanding print from Celestial which is full of strong colours and excellent levels of detail. The range of the colour contrasts is one of the constantly impressive things about Celestial's restoration work and here they continue to excel. The odd moment of very slight bleeding is apparent, but this is a very minor point.

Sound: Mandarin soundtrack with English, Traditional Chinese, Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesian subtitles (removable). Fine sound mix that adds the usual surround effects (chirping birds etc) to the soundtrack, though this is a controversal subject.

Trailers: 'The Swordsman And The Enchantress', 'Shadow Whip', 'Heroes Shed No Tears', 'Death Duel', 'Killer Clans'.

Extras: The usual extras: A Photo Gallery which includes good behind the scenes photos; the original poster artwork; Production notes; biographies/filmographies on Chu Yuan, Ti Lung, Lily Li, Candy Wen, Ching Li.
