Viewing Notes
Venom Mob. Holy shit is this fucking amazing.
A shadow group of thieves and murderers that always wear masks to conceal their identity from each other. Venoms include Philip Kwok, Chiang Sheng and Lu Feng (all who served as action directors, natch) plus Chin Siu-Ho, who is an honorary Venom in my eyes.
Lots of neat interplay between the heroes and villains. Fun trying to guess which characters are playing both sides. Total batshit finale in the mask lair, which is such a full-on evil hideout. That base for mask gang gets a ratings bump because it’s so badass.
Odd this movie is called “masked avengers” when the masked characters are pure evil.
