The Bund (TV Series) - Sequels, Remakes and Adaptations

Sequels, Remakes and Adaptations

The series was a phenomenal success throughout Asia and the episodes were subsequently re-edited into two features in 1983. Chow Yun-fat's popularity also increased due to his performance in the series.

Chow Yun-fat's character had died at the end of The Bund so he did not return for the sequel The Bund II except for a brief flashback cameo appearance. In both The Bund II and The Bund III, Ray Lui reprised his role as Ting Lik.

The original series was also remade in 1996 as a 40-episodes television series titled Once Upon a Time in Shanghai, starring Adam Cheng, Carol Cheng, Sunny Chan, Gordon Lam and Nadia Chan.

The plot of the 1996 film Shanghai Grand, directed by Poon Man-kit and produced by Tsui Hark, is similar to that of The Bund.

In 2007, a Chinese remake of The Bund was released under the title Shanghai Bund in mainland China. It starred Huang Xiaoming, Betty Sun, Li Xuejian and Huang Haibo as the original characters in The Bund.
