The villagers of Guangxi rise up, hiring seven warriors to take up arms against the marauders and save their home. Starring Adam Cheng, Max Mok, Jacky Cheung, Lam Kwok-Bun, Wu Ma, Shing Fui-On, and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai as the warriors, and Lo Lieh as their sworn enemy...who was once their comrade-in-arms.—Anonymous
