Adaptations
The 1959 Taiwanese film Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong (羅小虎與玉嬌龍)[2] is definitely an adaptation, given its title. This is most likely a
lost film.
Yueh Feng's 1967 Hong Kong film Rape of the Sword is also believed by many, including
Yuen Woo-ping (action choreographer for Ang Lee's film),[3] to be an adaptation of the novel, even though it doesn't explicitly state so,[4] nor is it set in the Qing dynasty. It has been noted that during the early
Cultural Revolution, it was impossible for the
Shaw Brothers Studio (located in
British Hong Kong) to get in contact with Wang Dulu (who lived in
mainland China) to acquire the film rights.[5]
