The Legend of the Condor Heroes (射鵰英雄傳) is a Hong Kong wuxia television series adapted from the novel of the same title by Jin Yong. Starring Julian Cheung, Athena Chu, Gallen Lo and Emily Kwan, the series was first broadcast on TVB Jade in 1994.
Compared to the similar 1983 TV series, the series seems "inferior" in every way. First of all, the series has only about 35 episodes, so production costs are likely low. (Some behind-the-scenes footage had to be recorded in the studio.) The character's creation and success were overshadowed by the 1983 version. Despite this, the 1994 version still achieved good results, with a rating of 32 points, ranking third among the highest-rated TVB programmes of that year.[1]
