Well, here’s a happy surprise. While shooting his feature film version of Seven Swords director Tsui Hark also oversaw the production of a television series - Seven Swordsmen - based on the same epic novel with most early reports saying that the TV series is preferable to the film. This is not surprising considering how much Hark had to cut to get his film to managable length, not an issue on television. But when the indicidual DVD releases began to hit shelves for the series none included English subtitles, so I’d given up on seeing the thing. And here’s where the good news comes in: the full series box has been announced and while the individual discs did not include subtitles, the full set does. Nice.

Pre-order the box set here.

    Awesome! And its out so quickly too, definetly pre-ordering this, I guess this will make the movies pretty useless seeing as we will allready know what happens from the TV show.
