YesAsia Editorial Description
Chang Cheh (1923-2002) made more than 100 films in his filming career of over 40 years, and established a unique aesthetics of violence and masculinity in Hong Kong action cinema. He worked with Law Mong, Philip Kwok, Sun Chien, Lu Feng, and Jiang Sheng to create the Hong Kong cinema classic The Five Venoms in 1978. Following the film's success, he summoned the five to make another stunning piece The Daredevils. While all five actors made a name in Hong Kong action cinema later on, as actors or action directors, Philip Kwok even went international as a action choreographer for films such as the French movie Brotherhood of The Wolf .
The story of The Daredevils is set in China's early republican era, when bandit-turned-soldier Han (Wang Li) slaughters his boss' family, except Da Ying (Law Mong) who manages to escape and plans for revenge. However, Da Ying also gets killed before he can defeat Han, and his four best friends decide to help him fulfil his last wish...

導演︰張徹
Director: Chang Cheh
本片為張徹導演，並與倪匡聯合編劇，演員除羅莽、江生、郭追、孫建、鹿峰一眾《五毒》演員之外，尚有曹達華客串。故事描述土匪出身的軍人韓佩昌(王力 飾)發動叛變，殺死師長楊宗，竊居其位，楊家只得長子大英一人(羅莽 飾)逃出生天。大英志切報仇，結果未得手已告命喪；其好友陳風(江生 飾)、梁國仁(郭追 飾)、傅全義(鹿峰 飾)、辛成(孫建 飾)決替其復仇……
Whenever director Chang Cheh teamed up with Five Venoms, film plots were probably decided by flipping a coin - which of the fab five will play the good or bad guys, who lives or dies and which ones will do the fight. The Daredevils was just another example of Shaw Brothers’ sure fire formula to success: Venoms + Chang Cheh = maniacal frenzy x infinity. Of note, the only venom to make it in Hollywood was Kuo Chue, who choreographed the French film Brotherhood Of The Wolf and Michelle Yeoh's The Touch.

OPERA TEAM IN FULL EFFECT
| This film was the first for the Venoms in 1979.Although at the theaters this did not do as well as Magnificent Ruffians (it would follow Daredevils),this film still has a lot going for it.The chemistry of this team is always mesmerizing.Daredevils is also the only venom film where every one of them is good(even Lu Feng).The finale is pure venoms bliss,the choreography is intricate and fluid and doesnt let up.Sun Chien and Wang Li give great performances in this film.Daredevils is another great kung fu film that features some amazing acrobats. |
