Dr. Yuen attempts to rescue a beautiful girl from being sacrificed to the "Worm Tribe" she belongs to. Yuen is damned with seven "Blood Curses" which burst through his leg periodically. He will die when the seventh bursts, but Bachu, the girl he saved, stops the curse with an antidote. The antidote only lasts one year, so on the advice of Wisely he heads back to Thailand to find a permanent cure. Yuen and his allies battle the evil sorcerer of the Worm Tribe, a hideous bloodthirsty baby-like creature, and "Old Ancestor," a skeleton with glowing blue eyes that transforms into a monster.

I was really sadden when i realise that Kuato from Total Recall (before becoming the leader of the Mars Rebellion and redeemed himself), had previously been the sorcerer of the evil Worm Tribe, with his weird sex curses... Mind you, it may explain why in Total Recall Kuato hung out in brothels and the "Mars Mutation"!

And here we get a flashback within the flashback, and we learn that Dr Yuen, while on a research trip in Thailand, tried to save a beautiful young woman from being sacrificed to an ancient evil (which of course is the decent thing to do), thus causing destruction, mayhem, the death of a lot of innocent people and getting himself cursed.
At this point the whole party decides to go back to Thailand and solve the problem.

The movie opens with an action-filled SWAT team standoff, with Dr. Yuen assisting in the takedown of terrorists. Later that night, veins on his leg pulsate and boils quickly appear only to erupt with blood. He consults his friend Wisely (Chow Yun-fat), who tells him he has a blood curse that will continue to cause burst vessels and veins each day until he finally dies on the 7th day. Cut to flashbacks, where we see how Dr. Yuen gets the curse in the first place, from traveling to Thailand and rescuing a beautiful maiden from being sacrificed to the gods of the Worm Tribe. As thanks, she gives him an antidote to hold off the curse for a full year. So, clearly, Dr. Yuen must return to face off against the evil sorcerer if he hopes to live- but the Worm Tribe is up to evil and the land is in turmoil.

Yuen is a doctor living on borrowed time. You see, a year ago, he saved a girl from Human Sacrifice by a tribe in Thailand, but they placed seven Blood Curses in his body, which will kill him when they all burst. Taking the advice of Occult Detective Wisely, Yuen goes back to Thailand to take down the tribe and cure his curse. Unfortunately, he must use his martial arts skills to battle monsters hellbent on stopping him.

  • Action Prologue: Dr. Yuen planting a bomb for the police in a Hostage Situation, and having to fight his way out when that goes wrong.
  • Anti-Magic: Yuen spends much of the movie looking for a statue whose eyeballs contain orbs that cure curses when eaten.
  • Badass Bookworm: Dr. Yuen, a medical doctor who's perfectly willing to plant bombs in terrorists' hideouts and fight monsters to save the day.
  • Big Bad: Old Ancestor, the Human Sacrifice demanding demon god of the Worm Tribe.
  • BFG: Old Ancestor's ultimate undoing is a bazooka.
  • Blood Bath: The only way to cure the Black Curse is by bathing its victim in the blood of a bunch of black animals.
  • Blood Magic: The Blood Bath above, the Human Sacrifice practiced by the Worm Tribe, Wisely's blood ritual to capture the smaller demon, the seven curses put on Dr. Yuen... almost every magical element in the film involves blood in some way.
  • Booby Trap: The Worm Tribe's territory is lined with booby traps, which promptly massacre the tribesmen Yuen gathered to fight them. Luckily, Tsai-Hung is an expert on booby traps due to a fascination with The Vietnam War, and uses her knowledge to save the remaining survivors.
  • The Cameo: Derek Yee as a rocket-launcher wielding soldier and Kara Wai as a reporter.
  • Cannibal Tribe: The Worm Tribe have all the hallmarks of this except for the fact that they don't eat people. They're still an small, isolated theocracy where priest-kings sacrifice young people to a monstrous deity. However, as the film makes a point of the Worm Tribe not being indicative of the indigenous population of Thailand, this isn't as problematic as many other examples.
  • Can't Have Sex, Ever: Yuen's blood curses burst every time he has sex, so if he has sex seven times, he will die.
  • Carry a Big Stick: When Yuen realizes someone is in his house, he grabs a sort of statue-shaped club for self-defense. Fans of Hong Kong cinema might recognize it from Ten Tigers From Kwangtung.
  • Chased by Angry Natives: After Yuen rescues Su, they must flee the Worm Tribe armies who want their sacrifice back.
  • Enfant Terrible: Aquala has a demon baby monster who does his bidding.
  • "Everybody Laughs" Ending: In the epilogue, we see Yuen and Wisely back in Hong Kong, chuckling over cigars at the wacky adventure they got into.
  • Generic Doomsday Villain: Old Ancestor, the demon god of the Worm Tribe, who basically only shows up to collect sacrifices and battle the heroes. He doesn't even speak, only roars.
  • Hate Plague: The Black Curse, which makes its victims try to kill anybody they see.
  • Human Sacrifice: The Worm Tribe engage in this to maintain and control their demons.
  • Intrepid Reporter: Tsai-Hung, one of Yuen's sidekicks in the film, is willing to impersonate a police officer, get in a car chase, and fight monsters and cultists to get an interesting scoop.
  • Lock-and-Load Montage: Yuen, Wisely, and the villages arm themselves to fight the Worm Tribe, in a homage to Ash from Evil Dead.
  • Occult Detective: Yuen and his mentor Wisely make careers out of investigating and battling the supernatural.
  • Our Demons Are Different: These are vicious creatures that eat human flesh and only speak in growls. They're blue, skeletal and have pure white eyes int heir base form, but have a super form that resembles a Xenomorph with bat wings.
  • Our Vampires Are Different: These are flying beasts that look like babies and are made of the blood of 100 children, which must be renewed every three years.
  • Predecessor Villain: Sorcerer Aquala is only one of a very long line of priest-kings who sacrificed people to Old Ancestor.
  • Race Against the Clock: Yuen has exactly seven days from the first curse bursting to find a cure before the seventh one kills him.
  • Redshirt Army: Yuen and Dragon organize a posse of locals to raid the Worm Tribe's temple, nearly all of whom are taken out by Booby Traps in a matter of seconds.
  • Sadist: Sorcerer Aquala, who serves a Human Sacrifice god for power, condemns women to death for not marrying him, curses outsiders to a slow death when they intervene, and tortures hundreds of children to death to power a vampire beast to serve him.
  • Terrorists Without a Cause: They never say what the terrorists in the opening want.
  • Temple of Doom: Aquala's lair.
  • The Triads and the Tongs: Aquala sets the Thai underworld on Yuen and Dragon to stop them from curing the curse.
  • Two-Fisted Tales: The overall tone is very much inclined towards goofy pulp adventure.
  • Xenomorph Xerox: The final form of Old Ancestor borrows a great deal from Giger's alien.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Aquala has the children of villages kidnapped, hundreds at a time, then proceeds to have the blood crushed out of their bodies to empower his vampiric servant.

Told as a huge flashback by writer Ni Kuang himself, "The Seventh Curse" tells about the tale of dashing doctor Yuen (played by Chin Siu-Hou) who suddenly develops a most curious disease: every day, a blood vessel somewhere in his body start to bulge and burst. His friend Wisely recognizes this as a particularly vicious Thai blood curse.

In what must be the biggest flashback-within-a-flashback in history (even beating "D-War" in this regard) Yuen then recounts how he indeed visited Thailand a year earlier with a group of scientists to find a cure against AIDS. Instead, his group encountered a tribe of Chinese people living in the Thai jungle who worshipped a vampiric mummy of sorts called "Ancient Ancestor". Yuen also had a chance encounter with local bathing beauty Betsy (a VERY healthy-looking Tsui Sau-Lai). When Betsy was about to get offered to "Ancient Ancestor", Yuen got a bit too dashing and rescued her, resulting in the whole research team being tortured and killed by the tribe's evil high priest Aquala (played by squeeky-voiced Elvis Tsui). Only Betsy and Yuen escaped but got cursed by Aquala, although Betsy managed to block Yuen's curse for a year.

Now that year has passed, and Yuen and Wisely must go to Thailand in a hurry and try to revoke the curse somehow. For on the seventh day, Yuen's largest blood vessel will explode and kill him. They are followed by Wisely's niece Tsai-Hung (Maggie Cheung!), a tenacious reporter who thinks she's found the scoop of the year.

Everyone is headed to Taiwan this week. Special guest Chris Arneson joins the boys as they witness the seven blood curses of an evil worm tribe. Chow Yun-Fat co-stars in this 1985 Hong Kong thriller.
