The Legend of the Condor Heroes is a Hong Kong television series adapted from Louis Cha's novel of the same title. The series was first broadcast on TVB Jade in 1994.
Compared to its predecessor (1983 version), the series seems "inferior" in every way. First of all, the program 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 programs of that year.
