Production notes
Based on a 1959 novel by Jin Yong (aka Louis Cha), "Shendiao Xialu" ("Return of the Condor Heroes"). This novel actually was a sequel to "Eagle-Shooting Heroes."
A Japanese-Hong Kong venture, the series was created partly in readiness for restrictions against some "foreign" imported TV programs. It was officially registered as a "co-production" with many Chinese staff, thus avoiding import restrictions.
This TV series initially ran for 26 episodes. It was dubbed into Japanese and shown on a late-night timeslot on Japanese satellite TV. Another 26-episode run followed, but this season was not as successful in Japan as in China; it was shown only in Cantonese with Mandarin subtitles.
The first season was released in the United States with English subtitles. However, this version had Cantonese and Mandarin audio tracks, not Japanese-language tracks.
