Good gosh, am I glad to find this place. I've been searching on and off for about 7 years for this Chinese series.
For those of you who have the capability of reading Chinese text, the title is: 保鏢. For those who can't, it's pronounced Bao Biao in Mandarin, and translates out to be "Body Guard" or "Protector". I have no idea which company produced it or who was in it. I do know, however, that it was made prior to 1999 and most possibly in 1997.
This is the story of a family of body guards living in ancient China. The head of the household is this man who has three daughters. The eldest is married to a guy with the last name of Tzai, the second daughter has a really nasty temper, and the youngest is the most skilled in martial arts of the three. They have two uncles, one who is very boistrous and the other who is more scholarly and fights with a fan. There was also this really silly older man who was Mr. Tzai's man-servant, who was actually really skilled in the martial arts. Finally, there were these two traveling martial artists who always appeared in each other's company. They're last names were Oyang and Sima, and they always made these opening speeches when they appeared.
I guess what I'm wondering is whether or not this title is still available somewhere out there. (And whether there are any decent webpages about it
)
Thanks so much!
