Unfortunately the version I have of this is a cheap bootleg DVD purchased at a supermarket a few years back that is full-frame(effectively cutting off the numerous text scrawls that pop up at the beginning of the film) and censored so that at least some of the more violent stabbings and bloody bits are missing. Even in this terrible edition though(touted on the case as being a "special limited edition") I could tell this one is a pretty amazing Shaw Brothers epic. It plays out more like a war film, but instead of bullets you get armies battling with swords, spears and good ol' kung fu. You get the always great Bolo Yeung dressed in a Fred Flintstone-esque outfit, that fat dude, Mei Sheng Fan, as a portly wrasslin' hero and one of the bloodiest Shaw films I can recall(even in this truncated cut). I really need to upgrade this one soon.
AKA SEVEN SOLDIERS OF KUNG FU, SEVEN KUNG FU ASSASSINS and SEVEN BLOWS OF THE DRAGON II(this is technically a sequel to THE WATER MARGIN(aka SEVEN BLOWS OF THE DRAGON) though viewing that one didn't seem very necessary to me to follow the plot.
There was a 2011 ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS TV series but I think that was based on the first film, which itself is based on a classic piece of Chinese literature.
There's also a 1993 ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS: BLOOD OF THE LEOPARD film which I haven't seen.
