My take on Five Deadly Venoms movie

Directed By :Cheh Chang
---Spoilers included-------
Another interesting B grade Kung fu movie from Shaw Brother's studio. Movie start with an old teacher explaining his young student that the members of the infamous "poison gang" were once pupils of his. The five members dont know to each other, which are known only by the style of kung fu they practice (lizard, snake, toad, scorpion and centipede). Later we come to know that two of the five know each other and are friends. Teacher clearly instructs his young student about their skill set & asks him to hunt down all the members so they can no longer harm innocent people & also advices his always pair another member in order to defect the other. Rest of the plot revolves around young student efforts in finding & hunting down the poison gang. Plot wise it is no brainier & script is predictable & dubbing is horrible & DVD quality is poor. Straight VCD conversion to DVD. Despite with its limitations, movie is pure fun to watch & must for a kung fu fans. The fight scenes are very cool and well choreographed & you will see lots of young & energetic performances. This is what I expect in a kung fu movie.
