MVs with wu xia and costumes

I have always loved wu xia movies :) Grew up watching them on TV and my family used to rent the VHS video tapes. Some of the wu xia series were stretched over a 100 episodes, but following the storyline was fun. I used to look forward to following my grandmom to the video tape rental store every week. Enjoyed watching the flying swordsmen, special wu xia powers, the ability to freeze someone by tapping a certain area of the body, different clans, ahhhh. Those were the days. I think I prefer the old wu xia movies compared to the new ones. Even though the special effects were not as good, they had to rely on their acting skills. The music soundtracks were good too. Truly a walk down memory lane for me when I catch an old wu xia movie or series. Wu xia action movies will always have a special place in my heart!

With artistes coming up with wu xia themes for their music videos and also historical costumes, I get to enjoy both the music and the MV. Here are a few of my favourites:
