I'm with you on the Yang Pei Pei adaptation of HSDS. It's also my favorite among all of the adaptations. It had so many talented actors that fit their characters so well. I thought Hsuen Xing's Yang Xiao was the best Yang Xiao ever. The Golden-Haired Lion King (Wu Ji's yifu) was very impressive, more so than the new version's actor. Chow Hai Mi did have a phenomenal onscreen presence as Zhou Zhi Ruo, especially after she turned evil. My favorite scene was when her clan sister demanded the meng-zhu's ring from her and Chow Hai Mi's ZZR started flying into a rage and kicking her ***. Gao Yuan Yuan was not as impressive in this same scene.
I thought Steve Ma's Zhang WuJi looked even better than Alec's. Alec looked like some dude you could easily beat up, but not Steve Ma. The dude looked strong like how a fearsome hero/warrior should look.
Anyway, I heard that CTTV (Taiwanese TV channel) is currently working on making an official DVD set for the Yang Pei Pei's adaptation of HSDS. I hope it will be out sometime this year.
