A deadly
serious Shaw Bros martial arts classic! The dying master of the powerful
Poison Clan dispatches his last pupil , Yan Tieh, on a crucial mission.
Worried that the youth may use his skills for evil, the master orders
Yan to track down a retired colleague and warn him that his fortune is
under threat from five of his former pupils. Each an expert in his own
lethal combat style, The Centipede, The Snake, The Scorpion, The Lizard,
and The Toad comprise a truly invincible force. Yan must discover the
whereabouts and true identities of these deadly masked warriors, and decide
which, if any, he can trust on his perilous mission. A blindingly choreographed
blend of intrigue and violence, "Five Deadly Venoms" adds a
truly original dimension to the kung fu genre.
