YesAsia Editorial Description

As the master of the Poison Clan lies dying, he sends his one faithful disciple to hunt down the five "Venoms," former students now turned to evil. But each of the students has his own special kung-fu skill, and besting them may be impossible.

"...This is the martial-arts movie that Quentin Tarantino would've recommended when he was a video-store geek..." - Entertainment Weekly Staff (Entertainment Weekly Staff), Entertainment Weekly, 05/23/2003

"THE FIVE DEADLY VENOMS squeezes in a few memorable sequences that pit amphibian against insect, arachnid against reptile, and protégé against master, among many other combinations." -- Grade: B - Scott, Tobias (A.V. Club Critic), A.V. Club, 08/13/2009

This customer review refers to The Five Venoms

One of Chang Cheh's best Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10

The martial arts master who has headed the Venom Clan is dying. The five fighters he taught wreaked havoc in the world and managed to amass a pile of loot that has been entrusted to sixth person. Now that the master is dying, he wants to try to right his wrongs. Therefore, he takes one final student, Yang De, trains him in all the various skills he taught the five Venoms, and gives him a mission: He is to find the various Venoms (all of whom now are living anonymously under secret identities), ally himself with those of the Venoms who have reformed their ways, eliminate those Venoms who continue to follow a life of crime, find the loot, and devote the loot to charitable purposes. Being a loyal student and righteous man, Yang De begins his mission, taking the guise of a street urchin. But how can he uncover the Venoms, whom can he trust, and how can he find the loot?

That's the set-up for this martial arts classic and it proves to be a sturdy vehicle for generating suspense and staging memorable fights. This remastered version really sparkles, bringing the story to life in a manner that my murky old VHS tape of the film never could. Director Chang Cheh spends little time on character development or parsing motives; instead, he emphasizes what fans of the genre seek -- action and more action. Nonetheless, what makes the film work as more than just a display of fighting skills is the thoughtful way in which the script works out the corrupt schemes of its evildoers and the detective work of its heroes.

"The Five Venoms" is essential viewing for all fans of martial arts movies.
