| | Storyline: | | In the early 1600's, the Manchurians have taken over sovereignty of China and established the Ching Dynasty. While many nationalist revolts still brew within the martial artists' community, the newly set-up government immediately imposes a Martial Arts Ban, forbidding the practice of martial arts altogether in order to gain control and order. Wind Fire (Sun Hong-Lei), a surrendered military official from the previous dynasty, sees this as an opportunity to make a fortune for himself by helping to execute the new law. Greedy, cruel, and immoral, Wind Fire ravages the North-western China, and his next goal is to attack the final frontier, Martial Village. Fu Qingzhu, a retired executioner from the previous dynasty, feels the need to put a stop to this brutality and sets out to save Bowei Fortress. He brings Wu Yuanyin and Han Zhiban from the village with him to Mount Heaven to seek help from Master Shadow-Glow, a hermit who is a master of swords and leads a group of disciples of great swordsmanship. Master Shadow-Glow agrees to help, and orders four of his best disciples to go. Together with Chu Zhaonan, Yang Yunchong, Mulong, and Xin Longzi, the "Seven Swords" is formed and their heroic journey begins. As they lead the entire village to the road of a safer place, they begin to encounter mysterious confusion. Food and water is poisoned, and trails of escape are marked with signs leading the enemy to them. They soon realize that there is an undercover spy, and the "Seven Swords" must identify him/her before Wind Fire's army gets to them. Between this narrow gap of life and death, the situation is further complicated by the blossoms of love. |

| The movie is full of mistakes as reviewed by IMDb users; among them scenes unrelated to the story like the meteor and the hidden swords. The love story, betrayer and the final battle scene lack logic. During the fighting scenes, the background is totally in silence, the flashbacks near the end spoiled the fighting excitement and the worse part is there are very poor characters development and most of the swords are not shown in good use. Most of the dialogs are added during post production making it annoying to watch. You hear the dialog but dont get to see who speak it. More than 1/2 the dialogs !! Whenever the 7 are together, at least 4 are stand-ins as you cant see their faces.
If you don't mind all these flaws, you may still enjoy the movie. | | This text refers to the Seven Swords Theatrical Edition |
