Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] The Seven Samurai

Just to note: someone added this: The movie is based on the Kurosawa's masterpiece "The Seven Samurai" That is inaccurate because Liang Yusheng wrote the script, and it has been acknowledged that the film was based on one of his books. --mh 13:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wire fu

Unlike most wuxia movies Seven Swords makes little use of wire fu, as Tsui Hark claimed he wanted to bring the wuxia genre more down to earth. Nevertheless, there is still much martial arts action as choreographed by acclaimed action director Lau Kar-Leung (Drunken Master II).

I removed this paragraph because it doesn't seem true. While the wire fu in this film is much less vertical than contemporary wuxia (no jumping over trees here), it still uses extensive amounts of wire choreography for various fantastical acrobatics, even more than House of Flying Daggers or Hero. Therefore I think it is disingenuous to claim that the movie has a notable reduction in wire fu, or is any more down to earth than its peers. VanishingUser 13:29, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Improvements

Thank you all, who have expanded on my page/article i set up (The Seven Swords/Seven Swords), but we need more infomative links on the cast, at the moment the links are blank,please help research and fill in the missing parts of the article. Wongdai 12:36 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] May I comment on!

I'm sorry if I may seem rude but why, (who ever sorted the page into what it is now), did you change my words on the storyline to the 'Seven Swords'?,It was gathered through my findings and research,and the blurb on the back of the film box. It now seems to sound very fictional,as all that was done was the augmentation of my words adding personality to the article, when it is supposed to be clearly factual. Wongdai 12:43 6 April 2007
