Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shaw Brothers' adaptations of Taiwanese writer Gu Long's novel, Hsiao the Eleventh Prince, released respectively in 1971 and 1978.The first adaptation, Swordsman At Large, is released in 1971; it receives a Self-Remake years later in 1978 withSwordsman and Enchantress starring Ti Lung and Anthony Lau Wing.In both movies, the wandering, legendary warrior known as "Hsiao the Wolf" finds himself framed for the theft of a powerful weapon called the Deer Carver blade, and have assassins hunting after him at every turn. Besides battling hordes and hordes of challengers, Hsiao must also contend with his rival, the warrior Lian Cheng-bi, who also seeks the Deer Carver blade, and both rivals, in both films, ends up working together to defeat a greater threat.Although Swordsman at Large comes 7 years earlier, it's unfortunately released in the middle of a densely-packed year for the Shaws, having made larger-profile wuxia movies in 1971 including The Deadly Duo, The Lady Hermit, The New One-Armed Swordsman, Six Assassins, The Swift Knight, Lady With A Sword, The Crimson Charm and several other films, and is often considered one of the Shaws' lower-tier offerings. The remake from later on, Swordsman and Enchantress, in comparison, is a much more faithful adaptation and better-known than it's predecessor — the fact that it has mega-star Ti Lung during the peak of his popularity also helps.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Actually, I Am Him: When the martial clans, still oblivious to Hsiao the Wolf's true identity, questions if he's capable of the recent clan killings, Hsiao immediately announces himself by saying Hsiao wouldn't commit all those massacres even if he could. Because he is Hsiao. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade | |
| Swordsman And Enchantress / int_e0c00a95 | comment |
Absurdly Sharp Blade: Hsiao's spear and Lian's sword; as demonstrated in their one-on-one duel halfway through, the spear can cut a stone wall into half with a scratch, while the sword hacks through an entire row of bamboo trees like cardboard. | |
