After too long Tsui Hark (who is a classmate of Spielberg) makes a return to the director's chair for Seven Swords, an ambitious martial arts epic based on "The Seven Swordsmen from Mountain Tian", a wuxia novel by Liang Yu-Sheng.

Seven Swords - while not reinventing martial arts cinema or reaching the heights of many of Tsui's masterpieces - still manages to entertain and even enthrall, though in uneven and sometimes underwhelming fashion. Tsui's epic is set in Ancient China after the establishment of the Ching Dynasty. The government, fearing retribution from nationalist martial arts types, decide to impose a Martial Arts Ban. More specifically, the practice of martial arts is punishable by decapitation. Aside from putting the fear of headlessness into the local populace, this ban induces evil-looking mercenary types to carry out the ban for the government, thus lining their pockets with blood money AND ridding the land of "good" martial artists.
