Overview

Venom regulars Philip Kwok, Chiang Sheng, and Sun Chien star as a gang of unemployed martial artists who spend their days stuffing their faces at local restaurants and letting the staff beat them up instead of paying the bill. Their fortunes appear to improve when the head of a local security agency hires them to take out the competition, who their new employer insists is up to no good. But the boys are being played for fools, and after an unfortunate misunderstanding, they unite with their former adversary to take out the true villain.

Viewing Notes

VENOM MOB

Not a great Venom flick but still pretty fun given that five of the Venoms are here and Lu Feng is placed in the villain role again opposing the others. He tricks four highly skilled bums to take out his rival (Lo Meng), who is friends with the bums or Ruffians. The Ruffians figure out they were betrayed and plan confront Lu Feng for the final fight, which is pretty good with both Phillip Kwok and Chiang Sheng taking him on together.
