Return of the Sentimental Swordsman (魔劍俠情), also known as The Flying Blade, is a 1981 Hong Kong wuxia film written and directed by Chor Yuen and produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio. Adapted from the second half of the novel Duoqing Jianke Wuqing Jian by Gu Long, it starred Ti Lung, Alexander Fu, and Derek Yee.
It is a sequel to The Sentimental Swordsman (1977) and one of the Shaw Brothers Studio's highest-grossing films, surpassing the first film at the box office. An in-name-only "sequel", Perils of the Sentimental Swordsman, was released in 1982, with no relation to the Xiaoli Feidao Series. Instead, it is adapted from the Lu Xiaofeng Series which is also by Gu Long.
Synopsis
Li Xunhuan comes back to his home after three years of wandering.
