This is one of those few martial arts flicks that have stood the test of time! Even though much of it's action is'nt as eye-popping like Jackie Chan or Sonny Chiba's work, there's still something very special about 5DV.
First of all, the plot: Poison Clan leader's life is failing him, he sends his last pupil out on a mission to track down the FIVE DEADLY VENOMS, students who have each been instructed a different kung fu style in form of a creature. Once his pupil has gathered knowledge of their whereabouts, the film begins to take off as thrilling mystery as to "which Venom is which"? And "which Venom is now a villain"?
Add another legendary flick for the Shaw Bros. on this one!
