Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires


I actually read about this movie in a book about British horror. It was a co-production between Hammer Studios and the Shaw Brothers in 1974. It has Peter Cushing Peter Cushing and David Chiang, reprising his often played role as Professor Helsing, going to China to fight vampires. Here he teams up with a bunch of kung-fu fighters and off they go to a small village to fight the vampires. I never thought I would be able to track it down, but strangely found it in two video stores in the horror section. And since then, Hammer has released in it a very clean widescreen version. Quite a bit of fun to watch with some fairly creepy vampires getting destroyed in some decent action scenes. The sister is played by one of the legendary kung fu females of the 1970's - Shih Szu - she is terrific - both in her looks and in martial skills.David Chiang and Shih Szu
