Editorial Reviews:

This is an adaptation of one of Jing Yong's lesser known novels. Do you wish to see Chung Jing Yee and Mou Shun Kwan in their younger days? This is also a rare chance to see Kiu Wai and Yat Wah working on the same drama. It is not easy to catch the 5 tigers on television or movies now. Although both don't have any scene together, it is still better than nothing for die-hard 5 tiger fans.
Hau Sit Yee killed many members of the Wan family. The five elders of the Wan family worked out a plan to deal with him. Upon discovering that their wives had been sold to the whore parlor, the Wan elders decided to kill them. Sit Yee captured Wan Yee. She was bitten by a snake. He pondered how his family was killed mercilessly by the Wan family.
After reflecting for a moment he decided to save Wan Yee. Wan Yee thought he was a ruthless killer. He informed Wan Yee that his entire family was killed by the Wan elders. He would not hold her against her will and that she was free to leave. In the morning Wan Yee set off but saw him practicing his skills. She fell in the river and was saved by him. After being rescued a second time, both fell in love.
Sit Yee informed Wan Yee that he would use her as bait to lure the Wan family members to his hideout. Wan Yee's father came to rescue Wan Yee. Sit Yee easily defeated him but Wan Yee begged for her father's life. Sit Yee was unable to bring himself to kill. Wan Yee's father seriously injured him. Sit Yee escaped and Wan Yee longed to see him once more.

Summary: Fun Show - But some issues with this release
Comment: When this release was first listed on Amazon, it was declared to be widescreen anamorphic (16:9). Now it is declared to be fullscreen (4:3) - Well, it's neither... It's 16:9 letterboxed into 4:3. And since the subtitles are aligned so that they extend partly into the lower black border, you can't "zoom" to fill the screen without making some of the subtitles unreadable.
Picture quality is above average for a Chinese TV release on dvd, and subtitles are WAY above the usual quality. The subs are nearly proper English, proper names are mostly capitalised, and some punctuation is even provided!
The show itself is entertaining... Chock full of wirework and swordplay. For the price it is a good deal, but it's about time that Chinese releases made for the U.S. market were released in widescreen, isn't it?
