Handsome Siblings 2020 Trailer w/Eng Subtitles
We started watching this series a couple of nights ago. At first I wanted to write it off as too silly, too clownish. We have bad guys dressed up as caricatures of villains, flying through the sky and attacking with swords and spears, and we have the heroes defeating the villains with super-duper, mystically enhanced martial arts. But I stuck with it and tonight I realized it's really very well done for what it is, which is a live action version of a comic book. The settings, costumes and personalities are all very extreme, the dialog is stilted, and the fights are fantastically stylized. With all the pomp and ceremony it kind of reminds me of pro-wrestling.
Wikipedia tells us that the story is known as Juedai Shuangjiao:
It has been consistently popular since its publication in 1966, and as of 2020 has been the subject of eight TV series and four films.On Netflix, 44 episodes of roughly 45 minutes each, in some kind of furrin' gibberish (presumably Chinese), with subtitles in English.
