07/26/2016 This is actually titled "Crippled Avengers" and is not a sequel to 5 Deadly Venoms despite the title here. See more 07/13/2016 When your son gets his arms cut off and the wife gets her legs cut off and dies, it doesn't give you the right to turn into a right nasty cunt. Sadly, this is what happens to Chen Kuan-Tai. I love the training and the premise of revenge is genius. One of my favourite Shaw Brother productions. See more 06/12/2016 Surprisingly funny and sometimes overtly gory kung-fu story about 4 guys all made handicapable by the same evil kung-fu master. The evil master became a big meanie after someone killed his wife and "dearmed" his son, so you kinda feel for the guy. The extended fight scenes are excellently choreographed and demonstrate a lot of acrobatic skill. See more 05/05/2016 What an odd, kinda stupid little movie. See more 09/18/2012 Even less plot than an average martial arts flick, but some really well choreographed, acrobatic extended fights. Some interesting fighting props, as well. The very last fight is underwhelming - everyone just seems like they're tired and want to stop - but it's pretty short and the fights leading up to it are fun. See more 08/02/2012 Crippled Avengers (Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms) has wondrous fight scenes but the rest of the film is rather silly and weird. It's still worth a watch. See more Read all reviews
