Viewing Notes
Venom Mob.
Damn. This is one of the best (maybe the best) Deadly Venom movie I’ve seen to date. It’s up there with Crippled Avengers for sure. I had read somewhere that all the Venoms didn’t appear together in another film but this one features all five plus Chiang Sheng, the other Venom. So maybe I misread or that article was incorrect?
Anyways, this is a straight up “I Must Avenge My Master” flick with 3 Venoms vs 3 Venoms with a long mid-section of training. Super badass fighting choreography. Lo Meng remains my favorite closely followed by Chiang Sheng and Phillip Kwok. Just love their fighting styles. Lu Feng is also pretty cool here (he was the evil son with iron hands in Crippled Avengers).
This might be my favorite Venoms movie as it gives each of them some nice moments and display their charm. I really like their interactions between each other outside of the fighting.
