To bad you can only give 5 stars........2007-04-11
To bad you can only give 5 stars. This is an awesome Movie. Some of the scenes are excellent. Some sad parts and some good parts. Some shocking parts. I mean like some really wow parts. One guy is fighting ninjas under ground and gets stabbed from underneath. I mean like wow he steps on his own intestine! You have got to get this movie. If you don't have it GET IT! An amazing Movie. One of the best Shaw releases.
My Favorite Martial Art Movie.......2006-06-13
This is an awesome movie. The fight scences are some of the best aever made, the costumes are great, and the use of weapons are really good. The basis of the movie is that the school of good guys (who wear white) has a tournement against the bad school (wears back) for control of the martial arts world. But when the bad guys lose, their hired killer throws the master of the good school his ring (which is poisonous) and tells him when he sees another ring like that that it will be his friend/master challenging him. So the master has his school practice and set up a defense system around their school. A few months down the line, they get a challenge from the killer's friend (the ninja school) to go against their 5 elements. So not knowing what they are up against, the good master sends most of his best warriors to see what the 5 elements are. And that's when all the action starts. Each element uses a unique style of fighting that will leave you awed. This movie is a great tale of revenge and regret. I think you'll really like it.

Good Film....but dont buy Red Sun version.......2007-06-20
Red Sun only sells bootleg dvds that are of very poor quality. I made the mistake of buying the Red Sun version, and it is horrible. It is not digitally remastered, the audio would go out in several places, and it would freeze and skip...and would often freeze up my dvd player in the process. The reviewer "morgoth" works for Red Sun and just spams reviews saying how great Red Sun is. Do yourself a favor and dont buy this dvd...you can easily find a real version elsewhere. Do other people a favor and spread the word about Red Sun...and vote NOT HELPFUL on all morgoth's reviews.
This is a great film, and I encourage you to buy a non-bootleg copy.
A CLASSIC DISCOVERED!!!.......2007-03-15
I have been a fan and collector of old skool kung fu flix since I was a kid. I thought I had seen all the good ones untill I discovered this gem. The fight coreoraphy is terrific, and the definate high point of the film is Lo Lehi's preformance as "Pai Mei". As a matter of personal preferance, I prefer a more serious and bloody story. This flix was a bit light hearted in tone for me, but I laughed out loud when Gordon Liu attacks Lo Lehi while he's relaxing in the bathtub. Overall this film is an old skool classic. Worth every penny of what you pay for it.
One of the best period..........2007-03-12
If you have not seen this yet, it is an absolute must for any fan of the genre. White Lotus priest Pei Mei is at his best, and Gordon Liu does not disappoint in his role... I also recommend Executioner from Shaolin which is the prequal to this awesome film...
Great film, horrid DVD........2007-02-06
If you're looking for bootleg DVDs with bootleg "quality," here you go. Red Sun or whatever their name is, is a bootleg company that steals the image quality from Hong Kong DVDs and sells it as their own. They then put out crappy bootlegs like this here and have their stooges post how great they are so you buy their releases. The dvds are poor, have audio and image issues, and fall apart in a year or so. If that sounds "Great," "superior," etc. please feel free to buy this release. If not, get the actual releases from Hong Kong for cheaper prices and see something great.
WHIE LOTUS PREIST steals the show!!!.......2007-02-01
Watch this movie for THE WHITE LOTUS PRIEST PAI MEI. The White Lotus Preist is one of the coolest characters you'll ever see in any kung fu movie , period. Although I enjoyed this kung fu movie, I've seen Gordon Liu in better roles. The White Lotus Preist fights Gordon Liu several times and each time spares G.L.'s life. I was very angry, because at the end when Gordon Liu finally is able to beat the White Lotus Preist he kills him and doesn't spare his life.

Red Sun is good, but waiting for Image Entertainment.......2007-03-20
To anybody who never saw a "real" kung fu movie or thinks it's chop-socky nonsense, then watch this awesome movie. It will change your whole attitude around. Like most of the reviewers, I caught this movie as a kid on "Drive In Movie" Saturday afternoon in the early 80s. Actually, "Chinatown Kid" (another classic starring the Venoms & the late Fu Sheng) was my first official intro to the incredible Shaw Brothers/Chang Cheh realm. "Five Venoms", along with "The Kid With the Golden Arm" (same people behind that), "Master Killer" (directed by Liu Chia-liang, starring his half-brother, Gordon Liu) & "The Prodigal Son" (Samo Hung wing chun classic), is simply one of the best.
First, the film itself~everyone seems to know the story, dying sifu (Tu Lung a.k.a. Dick Wei) of the Poison Clan sends his last student Yang Tieh (the late Chiang Sheng) to seek out his other five students. Ally himself with one virtuous venom and kill the ones who are villainous. The five venoms are #1 Centipede; Tang San-kwei (Lu Feng), #2 Snake; Hung Wen-tung (Wei Pai, who I never considered to be a real venom. He was only in four of their films and wasn't a real martial artist like the rest of them), #3 Scorpion; Ma Tang (Sun Chien), #4 Lizard; Ho Yung-hsin (Philip Kuo Chui) & #5 Toad; Li Ho (Golden Arm himself Lo Mang).
Despite not having as many fights as some of the other Venom classics, the story is so engrossing it doesn't matter. However, the fights that do occur deliver the goods. Kudos to Robert Tai & Liang Ting for their choreography, especially Toad versus Centipede and that incredible end fight. Even Wei Pai looks good, although he's totally outclassed by Kuo & Chiang. Great performances and great music. I know it's stock music but Chen Yung-yu really picked out some of the best tracks.
A little trivia info, the Snake venom was originally supposed to be played by a woman and #1 & #2 were husband and wife. Director Chang Cheh (reportedly a chauvinist) scrapped the idea because he didn't want a woman having a lead role in his movie. Next, the DVD transfer~the Red Sun version is the best one right now, they must have borrowed their version from Celestial. It's widescreen, crisp picture, decent audio and it's uncut (you see the Scorpion sort of lose his mind right before he dies). Unfortunately, it's dubbed but at least it's those Australian people doing the English voices. Good news, Celestial Pictures did a slamming job on their version; bad news, it's region 3. However, Image Entertainment has been re-releasing awesome prints of Shaw Brother classics on region 1. Check out my review for "Have Sword Will Travel."
Five Deadly Venoms get 5 Stars.......2007-02-09
INSTANT CLASSIC!! You must have this movie if you are a fan of Kung-fu movies!! The various characters and styles were outrageous, but well-represented. The Red-Sun version sound was adequate, but my version got stuck when #4 quits the police department. I think this is a hit or miss.
BUY THIS EDITION!! RED SUN VERSION.......2006-11-10
Fully restored and anamorphic widescreen. Unlike the crappy bootleg copies others sell on Amazon, the picture looks great. The only negative I can see is that it doesn't have the original Chinese language track with English subtitles, but that doesn't really matter to me because I like the English Language track better. Old-School King-Fu movies, especially Shaw brothers are better enjoyed that way I feel, reminds me of my youth. Buy this edition for the best quality of this classic film.
Poison Clan Rocks The World.......2006-06-20
Everyone rejoice...the remastered widescreen English dubbed version of this famous film is now available. And yes the famous lines spoken by the original voice-over actors are intact. Now you can hear "poison clan rocks the world" and "the iron maiden" once again and enjoy the viewing the fabulous restoration at the same time. There aren't any significant special features but heck at least we have a version that's worth showing your friends.

Product Description
The year was BC221 when Qin Shi Huang - the first emperor of China started to build a royal tomb for himself despite his infatuation with immortality. Through the prodigious endeavours of more than 700,000 forced labourers, the mausoleum was completed 37 years later. Legend has it that, to ensure utmost secrecy, all those who worked on the project were buried alive with the dead emperor. There were no survivors.
Over the next two thousand years, historians, tomb-raiders, and happy-go-lucky adventurers alike have been homing on the royal treasure buried within, However, no one has ever succeeded in locating the entrance to the mausoleum. Thus, the bulk of the First Emperor's treasure, including his much-fabled elixir of youth, remained intact.
Intrepid archeologist Jack (starring Jackie Chan) and ambitious scientist William (starring Tony Leung Ka-fai) set out on an adventure that would lead them to the greatest discovery in Chinese history. Their journey starts at Desar, India, where they stumble upon an ancient sword from the Qin dynasty and a magical gemstone that appears to be able to defy the force of gravity. The booty not only leads them to the mythical mausoleum, but it also connects Jack to his dark past life.
Through strange and provocative dreams, Jack sees himself reincarnated as Meng Yi, a general who fell for the First Emperor¡¦s beautiful consort Ok Soo (starring Kim Hee-seon) some 2000 years ago. As Meng Yi commands his troops in an increasingly desperate war against rebels, he also has to battle his own inner desires in choosing between eternity love and loyalty, Returning to the present day , the final secret of the First Emperor is about to be revealed. The two adventurers successfully enter the Heavenly Palace, a fortress loaded with death traps and unspeakable evils, as Jack comes face-to-face with his past. Or is it really?

Not perfect by any means, but worth watching .......2007-02-21
As a Jackie Chan fan, the Myth didn't get me too excited when i first heard about it, but then again, it's not like I ever had hope of getting a copy in Canada anyways. But years later, and my interest in Jackie Chan renewed, I aquired a copy and finally got to see what this movie was all about.
In a nutshell, I enjoyed the movie and it didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. It's a movie unlike any he's ever done before, and the production quality is really fantastic (at least compared to other Hong Kong movies of the past). The movie is really two movies intertwined. One of the present (where Jackie plays an "Armour Of God" type character and one of the past where he plays a general in an army.
What I liked about this movie:
I liked how they dubbed Jackies General character over with another actor to further bring the idea that they are two different people. The voice used for him is perfect in every way and I just love the way he speaks. If this voice was used to speak english it would sound really awkward and unatural. With Cantonese, it's absolutly stunning.
The movie also has some really classic and unique Jackie style fight scenes with his trademark comedy thrown in. It's not really that dark of a movie at all, it just seems like it could have used more development with a bunch of characters. I guess that even though it's a pretty decent length movie, the two stories have to share time with each other.
There is alot of wirework in this movie in a kind of Crouching tiger fashion, but I think it suits the type of movie it is.
At any rate I recommend this to any Jackie Chan fan to see at least once in their life.
Filo Dough Mmmmm.......2006-09-04
This film is like a small, flaky, pastry. It is nice and enjoyable, but doesn't leave you entirely satisfied if you were looking for more than light fare.
Wouldn't Play.......2006-06-13
It wouldn't even play on my DVD player. So basically it was a total waste of my money.
One of the greatest epic love story of all time!.......2006-02-28
This is one of the greatest epic love story of all time!
The immersion factor of the love story is wonderful, and the 'feeling' of love is pretty darn real, someone unique not found in most love stories.
Feel free to email me @ bochen02@gmail.com if anyone has more information on the rational behind the epic love story / plot in MYTH. It'd like to hear an enlightened perspective on why the movie ended the way it did. Jackie Chan's own website doesn't go into the philosophical aspects of the love epic and I find that a little disappointing, since I would have to either figure it out on my own, or seek other people's opinions.
In particular, even if the Jack was a reincarnated version of General Meng Yi, why would Princess/Concubine Ok-soo not follow him out of the collapsing cave? I could understand her reasoning that its not the `actual' person General Meng Yi, but it IS his soul, so in essence it's still Meng Yi, because there is no other in the universe that is or could ever be more like the original Meng Yi. And since Ok-soo somehow has the dedication and conviction to persevere for all eternity waiting for him, it would seem silly that she would have found him (his soul, and thus the `essence' of Meng Yi) at long last and refuse to go with him. So she kept her promise until the end, waiting for the Meng Yi she now knows will never come, and gets here original wish of death 2000 years later being crushed by falling rocks inside a massive cave.
Or maybe Meng Yi did keep his promise. For the short period of time that Meng Yi spends with Ok-soo alone in the cave, perhaps Meng Yi used Jack's physical body in order to finally be with Ok-soo again? Maybe the whole reason Jack gets all these weird dreams was because Meng Yi had to keep his promise to Ok-soo, and he had chosen Jack to be the medium to use his body to get to Ok-soo. So in that case Jack is not the Meng Yi reincarnated at all, but rather the spirit of Meng Yi has temporality usurped Jacks body so that two could be together for a short while. So they both kept their promise. Ok-soo waited for Meng Yi for 2000 years. (Personally I applaud both Ok-soo and that soldier protecting her inside to cave for not screwing around with each other, cause 2000 years inside a damn cave with nothing to do can get quite frustrating, but I guess after about the first 200 years they got used to it) Meng Yi's general kept his promise. And Meng Yi himself kept his promise too, he did come back, he just didn't specify for how long.
They (Ming Yi and Ok-soo) lived a lifetime in the few moments they had together before Meng Yi's spirit disintegrated back into the death of which he came from, and Ok-soo and the Qin era soldier died in the caves. In the end this is what would have happened had Ming Yi not have been killed on the battlefield that fateful day 2000 years ago. He and Ok-soo would have been together, be happy and in love, and eventually they would have both died, except it turned out to be prolonged for two millenniums and the happily ever after stage was cut short. But they got what they wanted. So good story.
Flawed but Commendable Effort from Jackie and Company.......2006-02-01
I must admit that I'm not a Jackie Chan fan, so I didn't like this movie at first, but quite to my surprise it did grow on me after repeated viewings.
This movie is a rather incongruous mixture of a silly Jackie Chan action movie and a serious ancient Chinese epic. I suppose the part that grew on me is the latter. I've always been fascinated by the legends and myths surrounding the as yet undiscovered tomb of the First Emperor Qin of China, and this movie's interpretation of it is spectacular indeed (if you can overlook the silly bogus "science" the movie invoked in trying to explain everything, some things are best left unexplained...) But to appreciate it, I suppose one has to know a bit about the actual legend. e.g. it was recorded by an ancient Chinese historian who lived about 100 years after Qin that 700000 workers labored for 20 years to build the emperor's tomb, and that it was so huge that it resembled an "artificial universe". In the high ceiling were embedded thousands of glittering gems mimicking the constellations in heaven, while on the floor there were rivers of mercury recreating the major rivers in China in miniature. While the movie took liberties with anti-gravity and other silly things, its depiction of the emperor's tomb is based on historical records. My jaw dropped when I first saw it :)
As for the rest of the movie, apart of the historical epic part, it's pretty standard Jackie Chan fare: silly story with silly fights and silly gags, and some good-looking babes as eye-candy: including the Chinese debut of Korean beauty Kim Hee-Seon and Bollywood sweetheart Mallika Sherawat. Chan's acting is sub-par as usual, especially in the romantic scenes with Kim, which suffered from lack of chemistry and credibility (though it's still better than the cringe-inducing "romantic" scenes in Star Wars Eps. 2 and 3).
By jarring contrast, the ancient Chinese epic portion of this movie is very serious, so much so that they apparently decided to artificially squeeze Jackie Chan's face (to make him look more serious? more handsome???) whenever he appeared as the Qin general Meng-Yi in the DVD. And unlike most other Jackie Chan movies, this part of the movie is surprisingly violent and bloody.
As I watched this movie, I kept thinking that this would have been a much better movie if it had been directed by Zhang Yi-Mou and re-written by someone else, and if Jackie Chan's not in it...
For me, the highlight of this movie is the spectacular and imaginative depiction of Emperor Qin's tomb, and for that alone I'm willing to overlook the other weaknesses in the movie.

Old Skool Kung Fu!!.......2006-07-13
This flick definately reflects Gordon Liu in a positive light since "The Master Killer". I thought his flick was a great old school story,,,very entertaining. This flick was directed by the great Leung Kar Yan, one of his best production,,no question. Definately a must see,,really great movie!!
a MUST HAVE for a fan of kung fu films.......2006-06-06
If you know kung fu films then you must know Gordon Liu, and this is one of my favorite movies of his. Gordon Liu is an awesome martial artist. In this film he demonstrate many martial arts techniques such a drunken boxing and other kung fu styles. In this movie Gordon Liu is forced to marry a Japanese woman who is skilled and proud of her Japenese fighting skills and customs. This couple eventually quarrells over whos style is better. The Japenese wife's masters come from Japan to teach Gordon Liu a lesson. A beautiful display of spear, sword, staff, Judo, karete, ninjitsu, and other fighting styles are displayed. The movie is english dubbed, and the option of clear subtitles is available. The movie is digitally restored so it is fairly clear when compared to other old school kung fu films. Simply, buy this movie if you enjoy good kung fu movies, a must have for all fans!!
master killer's best, and original language version, thank you red sun, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thanky.......2006-04-28
I feel like every review starts out the same for me, but here I go.
If you have not heard of red sun and do not have an all-region dvd player, then red sun is the best company going for classic kung fu. If you look up red sun under the amazon search engine, you will see I have plenty of reviews for this distribitor, that's because I have bought most of these and have managed to find some of the best movies in the history of cinema. And the LETTERBOXED widesceening job is so perfect I would be ahppy if this was the only dvd I had, ever.
First off, you will be sure that this is not a shaw's movie right away by the music. It sounds like authentic japanese, and overall provides an awesome score. It is really nice to get away from that stock music. And with origianl language, this goes both ways. The japanese are well worth hearing their voices, and there are a lot of japanese.
The movie has an odd start, no fancy MA display for the credits. it goes right to the story. Gordon Liu's family have set up a marriage for him long ago. But he doesn't really like this. So his friend(who you will certainly recogzine if you have seen any fu) comes in and tells him that the japanese girl has arrived. He goes on to describe her top and her bottom. Gordon gets all excited and runs out to meet her. But she comes in and lives in gordon's family's house and has absolutely no respect. Now gordon doesn't handle this the best way and since he is obviouusly better at the MA's, he beats her at everything. So this leads her to keep on breaking things and starting fights with him, to the point that she just completely leaves and goes home to japan. But when gordon sends a letter saying how far superior chinese is to japanese martial arts, her masters get pretty mad.
So all the japanese masters come over to challenge gordon. He sees his wife and rejoices but then sees like 8 dudes and one of them is like a giant. Now the second half of this thing begins. I still can't decide if I like the first or second half better. It is truly one of the best in the genre first half, but then the second half rivals any fu movie ever and manages to top most of them. The woman playing gordon's wife plays it perfectly. The first battle is superb, japanese against chinese sword, and more importantly, 2 techniques against eachother. The second the director comes up with an excuse to show that he is also a true drunken master, not just the yuen's and jackie. He plays the same drunk as most, and gordon has to learn his technique. This happens in too short amount of time, but works for the movie. And norman chu as another one of gordon's friend is great. No martial arts from him though. The weapons scenes are wonderful as they always match up chi and jap weapons. There is a spear scene, a 3 section staff against a 2 section and a sword, sai's against knives, and a match against a monster of a man, which I still think gordon cheated no matter what way they explain it. And the final one is prbably the best, true ninja scene(movie wise at least). So simon yuen has a good appearence hear as gordon's teacher and he keeps figuring out ways to beat all the japanese master that have come to challenge him.
But the main drawing point this movie is the real japanese actors. I am sure they are not real actors, but they worked just fine. The guy with the sai's may have no been japanese. And the master of all these master doesn's appear japanese but he doesn't fight, so that's cool. And Kuratu gets the well deserving lead role among them.
SO THIS RED SUN VERSION HAS 2 LANGUAGE TRACKS!!!!!! LETTERBOXED, CRYSTAL CLEAR PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!! AND 5.1 BOOMING SOUND.
Now, what more could you ask for.

ALL HAIL THE CRIPPLES!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-03-27
chang cheh does it too me again. he leaves you craving for more this time after making david chiang and ti lung into international superstars he does with group of guys from a opera school in taiwan, a chinese muscleman, and a hun gar stylist from china. im talking about the ever so dynamic kuo chui, lu feng, chiang sheng and the muscle bounded supposedly mantisfist expert in lo mang and a hun gar stylist wei pai (who didnt appear in this movie). after making such classics as "the one armed swordsman", "the water margin", "5 masters of shaolin", and "the 5 deadly venoms" chang cheh takes a new approach in the latter part in the 1970's and into the 1980's. after his top notch choreographer lau kar leung became a reknowned director in the mid 70's he took a gamble with a young dynamic and taiwan opera school weapons specialist robert tai aka tai chi hsien aka gangly who also went to the same school with kuo chui, lu feng, chiang sheng, angela mao ying, judy lee, james tien, jack long, and chang yi. and man did robert tai bring a new dimension to fight choreogrpahy to the genre and he is one of the best fight directors ever but he doesnt get the credit he deserves. he definitley top 5 and all the fight scenes hes done for the venoms mob has been nothing short of superb and spectacular.so after he did naval commandos or so he became chang cheh and the venoms chief fight choreographer. this movie should be viewed by children just like the one armed swordsman because it teaches us the value of having a disability and turning it into our greatest strength instead wallowing in self-pity and frustration. this film stars one of my favorite actors chen kuan tai aka the original iron monkey as yes folks the LEAD VILLAIN which he has never played before this role and lu feng as his son and the crippled avengers are kuo chui (blind), lo mang (deaf and mute), sun shein (legless) and chiang sheng (dumb)and the all seek out chiang sheng's master because he was once a master swordsman and the others never learned any kung fu. wang lung wei as chen kuan tai's bodyguard and dick wei as a general out to kill chen's character. of course in the venom films dick wei lasts 30 seconds which is transcondescending of his talents but anyway he kills helen poon bing sung chen's wife and chops off his son's arms. the training scenes and fight scenes is like i said top notch and a great inspiring story as well this version the red sun is a definite pick up and also try to find the celestial pictures release as well.
my youth in these venoms movies.......2007-02-11
ever since i was about fifteen, and first saw "five deadly venoms", i was hook on whatever movie the "venoms" was in , and "the crippled avengers" was one of those movies...it brought out the almost comedic side of 'toad" and the usual comedic side of "young lizard", my best part is when young lizard was looking for one of his partner at the bad guy house and went in demanding to be heard and feared, when the boss man looked at one of his coharts and said, "who is this idiot?" which in his facial expressions really define the next move, and that was to make him an idiot. that scene was hilarious, outside of the extreme talents of the venomes moves and strength, it is one of my favorite venoms movies...and i hope you would add it to yours.... the unfortunate, ever since i saw my first venoms movie, i rate all other kung fu movies to the expert fighting sequences of most of the venoms...and outside of gordon liu, and of course , bruce lee. no other kung fu flick compares to a venoms movie, even an so-so venoms movie, and i will put a centipede five finger palm strike hold on anyone who says different!!!
