"One of the show's co-producers, Robert Tapert, was a huge fan of Hong Kong action films, and his love for the genre left a big mark on the series. Xena had many kung fu-style fight scenes and exaggerated sound effects, life the whooshing noise made by the characters’ movements and their weapons.
Some of the show’s most popular fight sequences were inspired by movies like Once Upon a Time in China and The Bride with White Hair. For example, the memorable ladder fight scene between Xena and Callisto is largely influenced by a similar scene in Once Upon a Time in China."
The 90s DGSD probably returned the favour by putting in Xena music(?)

Interesting! Wait...Did 90s DGSD have Xena music in it? Which one? The one with Felix Wong as Qiao Feng. That's not the only time HK series use Western music. ATV's Fist of Fury with Donnie Yen use Robocop music while State of Divinity 1996 use Braveheart(at a lesser rate).
This is the ladder fight which was influenced by the first Once Upon a Time in China movie.

In early 2000s, Mainland China production also did that. One of the most random song they used, was a gregorian chant choir for the series 卧薪尝胆 with Chen Daoming in it. Just imagine the scene of King Goujian, was sad and pondering about his life...then this chanting come : "Allu allu....alleluia..." What???

HK and Mainland China productions often use Western film music. Music from this film has been used very often. Maybe it's because the composer was Italian, but did they even pay for the copyright?

The Big Gundown music also by Morricone
