Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] The Seven Samurai

Just to note: someone added this: The movie is based on the Kurosawa's masterpiece "The Seven Samurai" That is inaccurate because Liang Yusheng wrote the script, and it has been acknowledged that the film was based on one of his books. --mh 13:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wire fu

Unlike most wuxia movies Seven Swords makes little use of wire fu, as Tsui Hark claimed he wanted to bring the wuxia genre more down to earth. Nevertheless, there is still much martial arts action as choreographed by acclaimed action director Lau Kar-Leung (Drunken Master II).

I removed this paragraph because it doesn't seem true. While the wire fu in this film is much less vertical than contemporary wuxia (no jumping over trees here), it still uses extensive amounts of wire choreography for various fantastical acrobatics, even more than House of Flying Daggers or Hero. Therefore I think it is disingenuous to claim that the movie has a notable reduction in wire fu, or is any more down to earth than its peers. Cyaugin 13:29, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
