Stunts
Wire-fu combat that's either brilliant or bonkers, no middle ground.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the umpteenth adaptation of Jin Yong's 1959 novel, which has spawned over 20 film and TV versions—Chinese audiences compare every Yang Guo to the 1983 Andy Lau standard.
Bruce Leung (Ouyang Feng) was a Shaw Brothers staple in the 1970s; his casting here is pure nostalgia bait for wuxia grandparents.
