Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I have watched this movie first time when I was just 10-11 years old, my father bought me video cassettes, pure 80s n 90s stuff, and I found this martial art movie in the box and then watched it for many times. I forgot it's title but had SEVEN, part of movies title, saved some in my memory, Google helped and watched it again last night to share my childhood memories with my wife. She got bored of weak story line and awful dubbing and somehow adult comedy. The only thing we liked the most is Chai-Ming Chang, wonder where she is now. Such a cutie.

Seven children, all martial arts experts, are running loose unsupervised in Hong Kong. They check into a hotel then go out to dinner at a fancy restaurant. They all order steak and then act like they never saw a steak before. There is also a diamond transaction going on at this restaurant. Eventually one of the kids ends up in possession of the diamond and all the troubles associated with it.This is a nonsense comedy for lack of a more precise category. Nonsense comedy can be defined by humor derived from situations that are unlikely, impossible or ridiculous. In this movie the most impossible situation is seven children running around without adult supervision. Yet, how times have changed, because in 1986 I doubt that was even out of the ordinary in that culture.Whenever I review a comedy I am always careful to say "I found it funny" rather than something like "This movie is funny". What makes one person laugh can cause no reaction in the next person and be offensive to the following person. Only the transvestite scene made me laugh out loud and I am sure it also offended others.I did like the action even though every fight was essentially the same. These kids had amazing martial arts and acrobatic skills. I was surprised to find they all had few other acting roles beyond this one movie.

People looking at the cover image will think this is a kids film; it most definitely is not. It is a bitingly funny send up of all those painfully bad children's action adventure films and series from the 1970's and early 1980's. Everything, from BMX Bikers, to the Red Hand Gang and the Secret Seven, catches it where it hurts. I don't think any of the classics I remember come off unhurt. There's even a spot on assault on Bugsy Malone and a slew of jokes about bad dubbing. The acting is of the highest class (in that it is clearly deliberately dreadful), as is the script and direction. The film is Hong Kong based, so the cast speak fluent English, but are dubbing themselves, badly! Watch and enjoy, for it is hilarious, but it is violent, and well deserves its UK 15 certificate.

I first saw this film in about 1986 and I thought it was great ( I was a big Bruce Lee fan at the time ) The lip sync in this film is awful, as was expected. The whole story is very thin ( which I wont go into though ). A few years ago I moved out of my parents house and my mother sold the video at a market. Horrified, I thought I would never see it again. I would love to know what other film's these child actors have been in. A few weeks ago I went to pick my 17 month old boy up from my mother's and Lucky Seven was sitting there and the dinning room table, she had found another copy. I went home, put my son to bed and relived my youth with this Funny, athletic if a bit lacking in story film. Check eBay, check your local market's and car boot sale's, if you get the chance to own this film then grab it with both hand's !!!
