Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires (1974)

Starring: Peter Cushing, David Chiang
Director: Roy Ward Baker

Premise:
Dracula takes the form of a Chinese monk to resurrect the seven golden vampires. Soon Van Helsing makes his way to China with a group of body guards from a local village to stop the evil.

My Take:
A cross production between Hammer Studios and The Shaw Brothers, it makes for an entertaining watch even if it is a bit clumsy. It's kung fu vampires with British elegance.

Rating: In the middle
