Acerca de esta película

The most prolific kung-fu director in Hong Kong martial arts cinema, Chang Cheh, ushered in a new phase of his career and a new generation of action stars with The Five Venoms. The setting is ancient China's School of Five Venoms, so named for its five types of kung-fu based on five venomous animals: centipede, scorpion, serpent, toad, and lizard. The school is notorious for the evil deeds of its disciples, leading to another classic battle between righteousness and depravity. This international hit, lauded in Ric Meyers' premiere, groundbreaking book martial arts movies as one of the greatest, spawned a series featuring the same actors in new roles which was also enjoyed from America to Asia.

First time I saw it I loved it! Now I bought it on Google play to watch it when I want!! Lol Most kung fun films suffer from a bad plot but not this one. The plot for the film is really good and make sense through out the movie. The fight scenes are some of the best I've seen in any kung fun film. Definitely a must watch

You really can't/shouldn't consider yourself a Kung-Fu fan if you've never watched this film. it lays the groundwork of the Venom-Mob, that has produced, under the guise of the Master: Chang Cheh, some of the best Martial-Arts films the World has ever or will ever see.

One of the best kung fu movies of all time. The fight scenes are awesome, story is awesome. The Toad is awesome. Can't really go wrong with any movie involving the venom gang.
