The Five Venoms
An eager martial arts apprentice must fulfill his dying master’s final wish and track down his five most lethal students, each armed with a separate, animal-inspired fighting method. Kicking ensues. Responsible for defining a genre, director Chang's 1978 classic is a lush, colorful chop-sockie masterwork. Toad Style!
