Viewing Notes
VENOM MOB.
Finally getting to this one! So many excellent things going on here. First we have four of the Venoms: Lo Meng, Chiang Sheng, Lu Feng, and Sun Chien. Not bad especially when two of my favorites are the Two Champions of Shaolin. Then there’s relative newcomer at the time Chin Siu-Ho, who is a spitting image of one of my co-workers, Xucheng.
A couple of good females here as well in Yeung Jing-Jing and Candy Wen Xue-Er. Wonderful character interaction and fighting. Some of the plot devices are weak but all made up with the action. Lu Feng and his monkey boxers are sweet. Wish we got to see more them in action. Overall a very good Venoms / Shaw production by Chang Cheh. Also love that three of the Venoms served as action directors including my favorite Phillip Kwok.
Glad I own this one because I already look forward to revisiting.
