Within the career of renowned Hong Kong director Tsui Hark, 1983 was quite an exciting and busy year with all in all five projects which he worked on, two of which he directed. One of those films he eventually helmed as director was an adaptation of a popular xianxia novel titled “Legend of the Swordsmen of the Mountains of Shu” written by Huanzhulouzhu, whose works served as the foundation of many TV series and movies over the years. In the hands of Hark and his team the film, which was consequently titled “Zu Warriors of the Magic Mountain”, became a blend of wuxia and fantasy, while its use of effects and genre-bending nature was significant for filmmakers in finding an international audience.
