Viewing Notes

Thought I’d seen this before and of course I had. I think the title confused me as it’s listed as THE FIVE VENOMS on Netflix but I know it better as THE FIVE DEADLY VENOMS, and of course I own a DVD of it too. Definitely taken from a recent remaster; the print was in the correct aspect ratio and nice and clean; and it was in its original language with crisp, clean subs.

Great cast and a fun, more intriguing plot than usual. I should fill the holes in the Deadly Venoms movies; I’m sure I haven’t seen them all.
