I think I recall seeing a version of this that had a lot more gore than this edition but in any case the storyline and much of the action is uneffected and its great to see a classic once again available and at a really affordable price too.

The storyline follows Dracula's disturbance by a Chinese vampires servitor who has travelled to his keep to inform him of the misfortunes of his seven Golden vampires. Dracula isnt played by Christopher Lee, the make up is a bit of a disappointment and he appears, no doubt unintentionally like a stage magician. Anyhow, Dracula is pissed off and kills the servitor, takes on his appearence and high tails it to China. Unbeknownst to Drac is that Van Helsing, thankfully played by Peter Cushing, is on tour in China and while receiving a negative reception initially is called upon to lead a band of vampire hunters.

From this point its pretty much a Chop Suey Kung Fu flick, Van Helsing's band first battles a gang of criminals, the armies of zombis which are resurrected from a graveyard with a gong, then the golden vampires themselves and finally Van Helsing has a final battle with Dracula rounding up the picture.

There's a lot of elements in this movie which where becoming Hammer Cliches at this point, bodices being ripped and women running squealing topless around the place and obviously plastic bats on strings. The edition which I saw first was a lot more gory than this one, including scenes in which lots of people had their throats cut and it all drained from autopsy tables into a great big cauldrin, some of this has been toned down or cut and I thought some of the fight sequences where shortened too. Its a shame, even if the original amount of garish red paint blood gore was seriously OTT, but it doesnt spoil the movie.

An incredible fusion of kung fu and vampire mythology which was Hammer films penultimate full length horror. There are some striking set pieces such as the the undead army rising from the earth and hobbling across the ground, and really this is one of Hammers most visually arresting films. Peter Cushing brings his usual dignity to the role of Van Helsing and the film moves at a rapid pace. I have read a few snotty reviews of this film in the past, entirely unjustified.

An excellent film

Of all Hammer's attempts to stay relevant to cinema audiences of the early 1970s, nothing else they churned out comes off as quite so wacky as 1974's The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires. Co-produced with martial arts movie maestros the Shaw Brothers, this horror / kung-fu crossover was the last entry in Hammer's long-running Dracula series, though it is so far divorced from where that franchise had recently been (with the moribund modern-day entries) that it doesn't really feel like another sequel at all. Here we have Peter Cushing's Dr. Van Helsing (presumably the original one, i.e. the character from the earliest films in the Hammer sequence) fetching up in 1904 China at the head of an expedition to rid a remote village of a long-standing vampire infestation; he's joined by his callow son (Bless This House's Robin Stewart), a buxom European heiress (short-lived Hammer glamour icon and spectacularly bad actress Julie Ege), and a whole family of martial arts experts as they go to war with the blood-sucking septet of the title; however, Van Helsing isn't surprised to learn that it's actually bad old Count Dracula himself who is really heading up this particular pocket of the undead...
By no means a `good' film, The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires (co-directed by Hammer semi-regular Roy Ward Baker and the Shaws' right-hand man Chang Cheh, though only Baker is credited) is nevertheless a movie it is impossible not to enjoy, precisely because it is so crazily conceived.

By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 15 Dec. 2007
Format: DVD
The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires is a less than successful hybrid, combining Hammer horror and chop socky movie as Dracula, for reasons never really explained, possesses the body of a Chinese bad guy to control six golden vampires while Van Helsing, on a far from successful Chinese lecture tour, finds himself teaming up with seven brothers and their one sister to rid a remote Chinese village of yada yada yada.. "Black belt against black magic" screams the trailer, and while it's not as poor as I recalled, the only things going for it are a few okay action scenes and a magnificent display of bosom heaving from Julie Ege in one particularly memorable shot.

Unlike the extras-packed US Anchor Bay release, this does not include the butchered and often very bizarrely re-edited US version The Seven Brothers Meet Dracula (which sounds like a bad Howard Keel musical) but does offer an uncut anamorphic transfer of the longer version, with 12 seconds of previous BBFC cuts waived for this release.

In the old days there was "Billy the Kid Meets Dracula," but for our generation it was "Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires," or, as it was released in the U.S. (with severe cuts) "The Seven Brothers Meet Dracula." This Hammer film has essentially nothing to do with any of the other Dracula or vampire movies produced by the studio, although Peter Cushing is back once again as Professor Van Helsing. What it does have to do with is the kung-fu craze sparked by all those fun Bruce Lee movies and the fact that Far Eastern audiences had been eating up Hammer's movies for years. Thus we have this collaboration between Hammer and the Shaw Brothers of Hong Kong (insert gong sound here).
It seems that back in 1804 a Chinese priest named Kah made his way to the castle of Dracula (John Forbes-Robertson this time around), to ask the Count to revive the seven vampires of his cult back in China. Dracula agrees and then we jump ahead a century to find Van Helsing lecturing on vampires in Chungking. While relating the legend of the seven golden vampires (so named becomes masks of beaten gold hide their ugly faces), he meets with Hsi Ching (David Chiang), who knows of the Professor's winning streak against Dracula and begs him to help save his village from the vampires. Ching has six brothers (hence the American title) and a sister, who are all martial arts experts. There is a bit more exposition, and then we get down to some serious fighting between the vampires and the brothers Ching. Actually, for its time, the martial arts sequences are above average. Cushing has his part nailed, as well he should by this point in his career, and Chiang is a passable Lee-clone. This one is fun, a classic example of how crazy ideas can work in the wacky world of the movies. Check this one out.
