Chinese Vampires and Christopher Lee

[brent norton]

Does anybody remember or seen this movie?

Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires (1974) a.k.a. Dracula nd the Seven Golden Vampires

May not have found it if you were googling Christopher Lee. The film actually starred his common co-star, Peter Cushing.

Thank you Jade. It' been bugging me for a couple of days.

My pleasure. Nothing quite as subtly cruel as a nagging mystery.

I just remember it scaring the crap out of me when I was younger. Would like to find it and rewatch it to see if it has the same feel.

Netflix has a description and reviews, but has no copies. :(

You sent me scurrying to my queue cursing, but it shows that it's available now.

Mine is stuck in the "saved" section, says "availability unknown."

Did you choose 7 Golden Vampires/7 Brothers of Dracula? The double disk is unavailable, but if you choose The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires itself, then it should be available now. At least, this is my solution to the puzzle based on my own queue.

SWEET! That's the ticket, all right! Thanks!!!

P.S. Try not to scratch the disk too much while you have it, so that it will still play when I get it!

Heh. And I was going to use it polish the wall texturing in my new place...

Glad to have that solved. Little puzzles like that are annoying...especially when they screw with my queue...

Oh man...

My running crew got this for me one Christmas about ten years back. It's fantastic in a way only a Hammer horror/Shaw Brothers kung-fu mash-up can be. Also, check the weapons. Silver to get through that damage reduction, baby! And a bit on holy symbol vulnerabilities by region!

I remember this having more nudity than I was used to from Hammer at the time. I think this was made midway or towards the end of the 70's, where Hammer pretty much was heading in that direction.

The lack of Christopher Lee does hurt it though.

Spoiler:

The lack of Dracula does as well. The end fight was doomed to disappoint.

Peter Cushing is still my favorite gaunt, gentlemanly British badass.

So yeah, watch more Hammer flicks.

Nobody knew how to do muffin-top bodice presentations like Hammer. Bless them and the work they did. Bless them.

Amen.
