Anyway..........
Just upgraded my old (cut) UK VHS of "Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires" for the supposed uncut new DVD.
I hope it is uncut though as the recent BBC screening,that DID replace a BBFC cut, cut both the shots of the topless women during the Vampire raid on the village. One of which was in the old cut version!
Complicated.
This is a pretty trshy effort but is much better than it's reputation.
Some nice Shaw Brothers swordplay (LOVE that clanging sound of metal on metal), Shaws great David Chiang, some groovy exploitation shots and a wonderful slow motion dead rising/Vampires on horseback sequence.
And a polite, but enjoyable turn by the great Peter Cushing.
Only let down by an awful Dracula and the typically dire Julie Ege as an unwanted and unlikeable character.
