Tsui returned to directing at home in 2000 after not having made a local film since 1996. ''[[Time and Tide (2000 film)|Time and Tide]]'' (2000) and ''[[The Legend of Zu]]'' (2001) were action extravaganzas with lavish computer-generated imagery that gained cult admirers but no mass success.

Tsui continues to push technical boundaries and revise old favourites. ''Master Q 2001'' was Hong Kong's first combination of live action and [[Pixar]]-style [[3D computer graphics|3D computer animation]]. ''Era of Vampires'' (2002; US title, "Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters") reworked a subgenre popular in the '80s, hybrid martial arts / supernatural horror films featuring the "hopping corpses" of Chinese folk legend.

In 2005, Tsui launched the multimedia production ''[[Seven Swords]]'', a film adaptation of [[Liang Yusheng]]'s novels ''[[Saiwai Qixia Zhuan]]'' and ''[[Qijian Xia Tianshan]]''. The film came with a television series counterpart (''[[Seven Swordsmen]]''), a comic book series, a cellphone game, clothing brand, and an online multi-player video game. The film was relatively successful, and in February 2006 Tsui announced plans to begin filming the second late in the year. As of 2008, Tsui continues to work on the script for ''Seven Swords 2'' in between filming projects. In 2011 there has been no news nor plans about a ''Seven Swords 2''. Rumors has it that due to lack of interest by the filmmakers of finishing the hexalogy lead the project into being cancelled.

In August 2008, Tsui provided art direction for the [[direct-to-video]] anime feature titled ''Kungfu Master'' (a.k.a. ''Wong Fei Hong vs Kungfu Panda''), an apparent unofficial sequel to ''[[Kung Fu Panda (film)|Kung Fu Panda]]'', featuring Chinese folk hero [[Wong Fei-hung]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Kungfu Master | work=Product listing | publisher=Sensasian | url=http://sensasian.com/product.php/EN/V17937H-D | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080914045201/http://sensasian.com/product.php/en/V17937H-D/ | url-status=dead | archive-date=14 September 2008 | access-date=1 September 2008}}</ref> He also directed the 2008 thriller ''[[Missing (2008 film)|Missing]]'' starring [[Angelica Lee]] and the 2008 romantic comedy film ''[[All About Women]]'' featuring comic graphics and extensive ADR dubbing.

In 2010 he announced his first 3-D film, ''[[The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate]]'', which is a re-imagining of his 1992 film ''[[New Dragon Gate Inn]]'' starring [[Tony Leung Ka-Fai]], [[Maggie Cheung]] and [[Brigitte Lin]]. In 2011 [[Huayi Brothers]] announced that Tsui will be making a prequel to ''Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame''; shot in 3-D, it was released in 2013 as ''[[Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon]]''.
