''Seven Swords'' is a 2005 [[EpicMovie epic]] fantasy {{Wuxia}} movie directed by Creator/TsuiHark and starring Creator/DonnieYen, Kim So Yeon, and Lu Yi.
A peaceful village is threatened by a powerful warlord set on collecting the government bounty on martial artists--three hundred silver pieces per head--not sparing the women or children. Seven powerful swordsmen assemble to protect the peaceful but threatened Martial Village.
!! This film contains examples of:
* TheAce: Chu, Donnie Yen's character.

* TheAtoner: Fu was once an imperial executioner and torturer.
* AwesomeButImpractical: the contraptions, including a weaponized umbrella, that Fire-Wind's lieutennants use.
