Life Gamble (VCD) (Hong Kong Version) VCD

Directed by the legendary Chang Cheh (One-Armed Swordsman, Golden Swallow) and featuring a veritable who's who of Shaw Brothers stars, 1979's Life Gamble is an often overlooked but essential entry in the popular "Five Venoms" series. Although not a direct sequel to the previous year's cult classic Five Deadly Venoms, Life Gamble reunites much of the same cast and showcases the same level of martial arts brilliance, over-the-top heroes and villains, and delightfully convoluted storylines fans have come to expect from Chang Cheh and the Venoms. This one also features Lu Feng (the perennial "Venoms" villain) as a guy with a metal hand that shoots poisonous darts, and a young Kara Hui (My Young Auntie) as an undercover agent.

A priceless piece of jade has gone missing, and every martial artist in town wants to get their hands on it. When a shiftless gambler finds himself in possession of the item in question, his knife-throwing bodyguard (Alexander Fu Sheng, The Proud Twins, Magnificent Wanderers) has his hands full fending off an array of would-be jade thieves, which include Venom members Lu Feng, Lo Meng, and Chiang Sheng. Also in the mix is a female con-artist played by Shaw Brothers sexpot Shirley Yu (The Call Girls, Ghost Story) and Philip Kwok (Sword Stained with Royal Blood, Hard Boiled) as a noble blacksmith trying to help the heroes recover the precious artifact. The stage is set for martial arts mayhem and double-crossings a plenty, and Life Gamble delivers both in spades.

本片為導演張徹1978年與倪匡聯合編劇的作品，由傅聲、郭追及羅莽領銜主演。故事講述，武林高手仇子玉(郭追 飾)，本已退隱江湖，但正氣未泯，應武林大豪屠一(李藝民 飾)之邀，聯手對抗四大巨盜，奪回飛龍璧物歸原主。誰知屠只是利用「鷸蚌相爭，漁人得利」的局面奪取該璧據為己有，事成後仇亦慘遭毒手……

Legendary director Chang Cheh teamed his latest big star, Alexander Fu Sheng, with future “Venoms” Lo Meng and Kuo Chue to create another winner in his vaunted filmography. Joining them were the top supporting actors (Ku Feng and Wang Lung-wei) and the prettiest starlets (Lin Chen-chi, Shirley Yu, and Hui Ying-hung), for an entertaining, exciting tale of a kung-fu blacksmith taking on four famous robbers while a villainous gambling boss plots to destroy them.
