Member gskmeva Posted September 3, 2020 Member Share Posted September 3, 2020 Adam Cheng is such an underrated actor. He knew how to make you believe that he was good with the fan and sword on screen for someone who wasn’t a martial artist. Growing up in the 80s, my mother enjoyed watching many of the Taiwanese Qiong Yao romance films while my father enjoyed his HK kungfu action films. So what better way than to cast together the beautiful Brigitte Lin and handsome Adam Cheng (in his classic Chu Liuxiang/Chor Lau Heung attire) which sparked several Taiwan/HK films such as “Be Careful My Sweetheart” and “Night Orchard”. Hell, I even remember his short cameo in the cult classic “Fantasy Mission Force”. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Super Ninja Posted December 6, 2020 Member Share Posted December 6, 2020 @ShawAngela is Be Careful My Sweetheart trilogy a sequel to the Chor Lau-heung (1979) TV series? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since I watched these movies and they were in English, so, maybe there is a difference in the names in the Mandarin version. However, it seems that Be careful My sweetheart isn't a Chu Liu Xiang's movie, as Adam Cheng is called by another name. Demon fighter aka Night orchid and The denouncement of Chu Liu Xiang are related to the series. It seems to me that the 1979 series only deals with a part of Chu LIu Xiang's adventures, and the movie Night orchid could be related to The legend of Chu LIu Xiang 1984 series that presents four other parts of the series and follows the 1979 series after Su Rong Rong's death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chor_Lau-heung_(1985_TV_series) And there is the 1995 series The new legend of Chu Liu Xiang, which seems to be unrelated to any Gu Long's novels, from what I read on wikipedia. In order to know how The denouncement of Chu Liu Xiang is related to the series, I should rewatch all of them, but...I don't have enough time... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referring to Last Hero in China (1984), that's the only one I don't yet have the confirmation, I know Cheng plays the character of Chu Liu Xiang in The Denouncement of Chu Liu Hsiang (1983) and Night Orchid (1983). If what you say is true, I wonder if these movies are presented as part of the same trilogy for the sake of their Western release, considering they even were released outside of Taiwan? 7 hours ago, ShawAngela said: It seems to me that the 1979 series only deals with a part of Chu LIu Xiang's adventures, and the movie Night orchid could be related to The legend of Chu LIu Xiang 1984 series that presents four other parts of the series and follows the 1979 series after Su Rong Rong's death. Yeah, according to Wiki, the original series was adapted from the first three novels in the Chu Liu Xiang series. 7 hours ago, ShawAngela said: In order to know how The denouncement of Chu Liu Xiang is related to the series, I should rewatch all of them, but...I don't have enough time... Yeah, I would have to watch the series, and I'm not really all that into TVB series, I'm more of a movies guy. However, I did find the first episode on You Tube, and I can confirm some of the music from it was used in The Denouncement of Chu Liu Hsiang. Also, Cheng's character in both the movie and the series lives on the boat with three beauties, but without the subtitles and watching all 65 episodes, it'll be hard to tell in what all ways are the films and the series connected.

Member wuxiaman Posted January 9, 2021 Member Share Posted January 9, 2021 I would treat the Chu Liu Xiang movies in a separate universe/continuity from the TV series featuring Adam Cheng, similar to Jet Li's Wong Fei Hung in Last Hero in China (1993) from the main Once Upon A Time in China film series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree to a point, but if the movies are related to the series or are even direct sequels, I'd be interested to know, for the sake of understanding these movies better if nothing else. Besides, if you catch even a glimpse of the series, you'll see Adam Cheng is reprising his role, down to his index finger on the nose tic. Also, understanding the background could explain how Chang Peng-Yi got involved in the project. I believe this was his first time working with Adam Chang and the first time he directed anything series related. It appears Gu Long was his only connection, Chang Peng-Yi often directed movies based on his novels or that had his story or script. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Cheng's portrayal got him so associated with that role in East and Southeast Asia that even the customers of my aunt's video store sometimes forget his real name and simply call him Chu Liu Xiang whenever they saw other movies/series featuring Adam Cheng. There's nothing from the two Taiwanese Chu Liu Xiang movies that would contradict the events of the 1979 TVB series. I know the Taiwanese 1985 series featuring Adam Cheng is supposed to continue from the 1979 TVB series based on the fate of one of the major characters (this is an unofficial sequel, as TVB is known to dislike other studios making sequels to their productions, and this one had a loophole of being a novel adaptation). The 1995 series can be watched without seeing any previous series/movie (story was completely made up by the writers of the series) and would definitely contradict the ending of the Denouement of Chu Liu Hsiang. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that the role of Chu Liu Xiang was his breakthrough role, but I didn't know the character was that popular, that's great to hear. There was some talk that the movies are actually a sequel of sorts to the original 1979 series, but I guess that's just false information. The events in the movies happening after the death of Rong Rong must be what makes them related to the series. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People I know or met who watched his portrayal of Chu Liu Xiang in movies & TV compared him to Sean Connery as James Bond. Here are the parallels between the two: Both were not the first actor to portray the character, but were the first whose portrayal would set up high expectations for his successors. Both actors portrayed their most recognizable roles in productions that weren't considered officially canon with previous productions. Both characters are from a a series of famous novels. Both characters are known to be surrounded by groups of beautiful women. Both characters have very few, trusted close friends. Gu Long was known to be influenced by western literature, and James Bond is one example. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Nelson was the first to portray James Bond in the 1954 American anthology series Climax! in an episode that adapted Casino Royale. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
