SEVEN SWORDS
Review

Tsui
Hark was the flagcarrier of Hong Kong action movies during the 1980's
and early 1990's. Then we shared the pain of his shameful and short mis-adventure
in the Hollywood and we felt sorry for a couple of his movies being
overkilled by CG effects a few years ago. Now, Tsui Hark is back, with
Seven Swords, a character-driven and action-packed adventure.

SEVEN SWORDS
Does Well at Home
(MonkeyPeaches Exclusive) |

(Mandarin
Films,) |
According to an incomplete statistic released by the distributor,
Seven Swords' 3-day revenue (Friday - Sunday) in the mainland China
is about 26 million yuans (US$ 3.21 million) and the accurate 3-day
number for Hong Kong is HK$ 2.57 million (US$ 0.33 million). It did not
break any record but the result is very encouraging. However, video
distribution, cable deals and overseas sales are still needed to cover
the production cost of HK$ 140 million
(US$ 18.01 million). Tsui Hark said he would do sequels, as he had
planned, if Seven Swords did well at the box-office.

Tsui Hark Talks: SEVEN SWORDS
Sequels, JOURNEY TO THE WEST and Brigitte Lin Biopic
(MonkeyPeaches Exclusive) |

Tsui Hark has talked briefly about what
he would do next. He said although up to six sequels to Seven Swords
were in planning, he was not so confidence about making all six of them.
He said it would be up to how well Seven Swords do in the market.
What Tsui Hark really wants to do is to adapt the classic fantasy novel
Journey to the West. The major
challenge of making it possible is to get the script right and he has
been working on it for years. According to another
report, Tsui Hark will soon direct a biopic of
Brigitte Lin,
who will be played by
Cecilia Cheung.
