Every good play is really two plays: one we follow from beginning to end , and one we see from the end to the beginning. The forward play is about Antonio repaying the debt. The retrospective play is about showing mercy.
The Merchant of Venice is a person called Antonio, and as we all know, human life is beyond price. If you are thinking of a copy of a book or movie, or the cost of mounting a production of the play, you will have to be more specific.
There actually is no such phrase. People using it are confusing the phrase "a pound of flesh" from the Shakespeare play The Merchant of Venice with the title of the 2008 Will Smith movie "Seven Pounds" In the Shakespeare play the pound of flesh is the penalty for defaulting on a loan. You default on your mortgage and the bank gets your arm. The Will Smith movie is not about defaulting on a loan, but about making up for your mistakes. In the film Smith's character must help seven people to make up for the seven people he accidentally killed.

The Merchant of Venice involves a debt of a pound of flesh. The recent movie 7 Pounds is a reference to The Merchant of Venice. There are 7 debts in total for the 7 people who were killed. So there is a figurative reference to The Merchant of Venice, 7 debts means 7 pounds of flesh is owed. There is also a literal reference that he donates 7 of his organs to 7 different people. Actually the there were not 7 organs the following was representative of the 7 pounds Lung Liver Kidney Bone Marrow His Beach House Heart Cornea's 7 People died in the auto accident he cased...debt paid!
W. Shakespeare wrote the play. In short, a young man needs a loan to help with his pursuit of work. He ends up getting the loan, but has to pay it back in a short amount of time.

As a Jew living in Venice, Shylock could not own land and was barred from most ways of making a living. He would have to wear special clothing and live only in a certain part of the city (the ghetto) which was locked up at night. The Michael Radford movie of The Merchant of Venice starring Robert deNiro depicts these restrictions very well.
I believe only one Shakespeare play was mentioned by name during the course of the movie, but the quotes that General Chang mentions are from Hamlet, Henry IV (Part 2), Henry V, Julius Ceasar, The Merchant of Venice, and Romeo & Juliet.
