Chinese TV Series ?

Post by tom2681 »

Does anybody know some good Chinese TV Series (action, not drama) that are available on DVD with english subs ?

I'm asking because I keep hearing good things about stuff like:
-Master of Taï-Chi (with Jackie Wu Jing).
-Kung-Fu Soccer (with the Twins/Chapman To/Josie Ho).
-Sword and Fairy (Cheng Pei-Pei, Hu Ge, Liu Yi-Fei).
-Legend of Condor Heroes 2003 (Yuen Bun).
-Hua Mulan (Anita Yuen / Chiu Man-Cheuk).
-Wind and Cloud conquer the world (Chiu Man-Cheuk / Sonny Chiba).
-New Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Any help to locate some of these would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. 8)

This is available on R1 from Tai Seng with Mandarin and a non-anamorphic correct AR DVD (if memory serves me correctly).

Yep, apparently it's a condensed version of the series.
I only found one review, though:

The other TV shows seem impossible to find. :|

I don't know of any English subbed versions of Chinese TV series, which is a shame considering that there are a few titles I'd like to check out as well.

Korean dramas are now readily available with English subs, I hope that Japanese dramas and Chinese dramas can follow.
