The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires
With the resurgence of Kung Fu and Hammer horror in the 70’s, The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires was inevitable – Fang Fu, if you will. Roy Ward Baker’s shocker is packed with enough R-rated sex and violence to tide over any drive-in crowd and it brings back Peter Cushing as the indefatigable Van Helsing – though our favorite vampire-hunter is stuck with a pretty blasé bloodsucker as an adversary. Fortunately the high-flying fight scenes stave off most of the doldrums.
