The film is adapted from a novel, and in fact the novel's seven warriors are all male.

I have always been a fan of Wuxia movies. They give us a refreshed view of what we had before, of the values and of the way we looked at life.

Be it Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li or Jackie Chan, the proportion of dialogue and drama in their movies is heavy. They use their dialogue to show their acting skills a lot.

Wuxia culture is like another dimension that provides us with strong emotion, strong passion.
