Trivia
This film originated the "shooting the swordsman" gag that was popularized in Les Aventuriers de l'arche perdue (1981). A similar scene was recycled into the plot of the film Fit to Kill (1993) where a hitwoman with a machete was shot.

Quotes
Drew Savano: It is far more vital to perfect the evolution of an act of determination than the actual moment of impact, as I like to call it.

Crazy credits
All of the opening and closing credits are achieved through a printer slowly printing out the credits and then spooling them upwards into the top of frame - revealing the credits. After printing a credit. A cut is used to move onto the next credit.

Alternate versions
There are two versions of this film. One version that was available on the MGM digital cable channel which only runs 90 Minutes and missing eleven minutes. The uncut version which was just released by Kino Lorber is the complete uncut version that restores alot of scenes including Ed Parker killing both of Mr. Lee's henchmen, and a scene revealing that The Cowboy was still alive after Mailei double crossed him and shot him amongst the few scenes that were restored from the cut version.

Lucky number....

Good old Andy Sidaris.

You can always count on his movies for a little action, a little intrigue and...say it with me...a little skin.

Flicks like "Seven", for example. This one features a covert team led by William "Big Bill" Smith who is out to kill off the baddies threatening the peace-loving government of Hawaii. Of course, there's always plenty of time to show some dynamic women in all their glory along with the maiming and killing.

But if your movie diet consists of films of this ilk, you could do a lot worse than "Seven". In fact, a lot worse.

TIDBIT - This movie features the famous gag seen a couple of years later in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", where a guy is beset by a swordsman and simply draws a gun and shoots the blade-wielding baddie dead. Not bad.

Seven stars. Who woulda guessed?
