Introducing the venom mob

Five Deadly Venoms (1978)

Directed by Chang Cheh this film from the Shaw brothers stars Chiang Sheng, Sun Chien, Kou Chui and Lo Mang. The students of a secretive martial arts clan fight over the clan's hidden fortune as their master is dying.

There is not a huge amount of depth to the plot of this film but it provides the required set up for plenty of martial arts sequences. While this is a fairly well known Shaw brothers film film I am not sure it lives up to the hype completely. The action sequences are of a level you would expect but nothing amazing.


3/5
