In sun-drenched Hawaii, a dynamic criminal organisation run by seven ruthless professional kingpins intends to liquidate its political leaders, and when they fulfil their plans, take over the 50th State and pillage the land. Although this may be true, the government will soon retaliate by summoning the unconventional special agent Drew Sevano, who, in turn, assembles an invincible and well-equipped army of six other deadly agents; all assigned will their target of choice. But things are looking bleak and the mandatory half-hour time frame for the completion of the operation is already tight. Will Sevano's Seven succeed? —Nick Riganas

Trivia
This film originated the "shooting the swordsman" gag that was popularized in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). A similar scene was recycled into the plot of the film Fit to Kill (1993) where a hitwoman with a machete was shot.

Quotes
Drew Savano: It is far more vital to perfect the evolution of an act of determination than the actual moment of impact, as I like to call it.

Crazy credits
All of the opening and closing credits are achieved through a printer slowly printing out the credits and then spooling them upwards into the top of frame - revealing the credits. After printing a credit. A cut is used to move onto the next credit.

Alternate versions
There are two versions of this film. One version that was available on the MGM digital cable channel which only runs 90 Minutes and missing eleven minutes. The uncut version which was just released by Kino Lorber is the complete uncut version that restores alot of scenes including Ed Parker killing both of Mr. Lee's henchmen, and a scene revealing that The Cowboy was still alive after Mailei double crossed him and shot him amongst the few scenes that were restored from the cut version.

Connections
Featured in 42nd Street Forever, Volume 3: Exploitation Explosion (2008)

6/10

Andy Sidaris Keeps You Engaged On So Many Levels.

The movie is a lot of fun with plenty of over the top and almost comical death scenes combined with wonderful scenery of almost every variety. William Smith, as good guy assassin team leader Drew Savano, was very likable with his ability of conveying a natural charismatic leadership presence. A quiet confidence, if you will. As more or less the leading lady Barbara Leigh was also good as the hot Alexa who has a pretty weird scene with the creepy "Hermit" played well by Veteran Reggie Nalder. Barbara by this time no longer possesses the transcendent beauty that she enjoyed in the Junior Bonner days, but is still a foxy lady in this one. The rest of the cast and story is also terrific which ads up to a fine "B' movie for Mr. Sidaris.
