Viewing Notes
From a trailer I’d watched on another disc, this movie looked insane. I’m happy to say that it lived up to that expectation! This is Chang Cheh’s swan song movie as a director at Shaw Brothers and features only one of the venoms, Lo Meng.
Still, it’s an amazing movie, with some pretty gory violence and amazingly choreographed fight scenes. Easily one of my favorite Chang Cheh/Shaw Brothers movies.

This is high on my list of kung fu flicks to watch! Glad it lives up to its reputation.
