Jimmy Wang Yu (RIP) gives us his take on Seven Samurai, with heroic and patriotic Chinese fighters banding together to fight off Japanese pirates, rather than samurai.

It doesn't have the grandeur of Kurosawa's epic, or the careful characterisation, the psychological insights, the meticulous period detail... the acting... the cinematography... but we already knew Wang Yu was no Kurosawa.

What it does have is a 40 minute battle that occupies much of the second half of the film though, where Wang Yu unleashes almost uninterrupted carnage on the screen.
