Viewing Notes
Recent acquisition from Diabolik so I wanted to revisit bc there’s so much talent involved. Still don’t know why they made Sammu wear those huge false teeth. Recognized Yuen Wah and Yuen Biao this time (both on villain side but Biao is a secret assassin that is killed with an arrow).
Noticed in the credits here that there are a few Venoms in the movie but I did not spot them (I still consider Ricky Cheng an honorary Venom). This had to be before they got their studio gig with Shaw Brothers and no longer wanted to be bit actors at Golden Harvest.
