Viewing Notes

There are some really fun scenes in this and it’s great to see Cheng Pei-Pei as the ringleader even if her fights are kind of limited overall. The charismatic Lo Lieh is part of the ensemble of five orphaned brothers who initially don’t know of the others’ existence and must band together under the guidance of Pei-Pei to complete their mission of revenge.

With a few exceptions the martial arts on display here are pretty average but there’s plenty of it so that provides some balance.
