This scene has been edited to avoid some spoilers! If you haven’t seen “Five Deadly Venoms” yet, go watch it now! Who is the best member of the Venom Mob and Who is your favorite?
If you were watching this as a kid in the '80s then you are probably one of the few that can appreciate these old school kung fu venom mob movies the shaw brothers were cranking out by the boat load.
It's fun watching that yellow rug at 5:20 get filthier and filthier as it gets re-used in later Shaw Bros movies. In Shaolin Intruders and 8 Diagram Pole Fighter it's almost light brown, it's so dirty.
My childhood memories are filled with Saturday afternoon martial arts movies that still say with me until this day. I will always love Shaw brothers for that❤.
This Is in the Top 5 of the old school kung fu movies Avenging Eagle" is another "Kid with the Golden arm That list goes on and on So many great kung fu movies from the genre
Love the over-the-top sounds in these older flicks. The Shaw Brothers knew how to make it dramatic beyond just the visuals. The sounds in these scenes really complement the martial arts.
I was 8 when I watched this. I rushed to the playground afterward to try my new skills. The other kids had no idea how close they came to death that day.
5 Deadly Venoms hold up so well! The choreography and story is amazing. When people ask me which kung fu movie they should watch first, I always recommend this one and Five Elements Ninjas.
They knew that Toad Was the strongest and most incredibly powerful one of the five. And they knew that Toad was invincible compared to all of them. That's why their punk asses did that to him because they knew they couldn't handle him alone. those cowardly bastards
True kung fu masters showing off their skills and talent. Something we won't see a lot today anymore. Shaw brothers doing a damn good job directing the film and thr stunt people doing at damn good job making them actors look superb!!!
Well...we DO see it today...as far as Jet LI. I know...he MAY be the exception. Of course... Jackie Chan...he is DEFINITELY a master. Jet LI is a master...of course. He was Wushu champion in Beijing for five years IN A ROW. But... you probably already knew that. He was young, by the way... when he won the Wushu championships. But... generally speaking......we don't see so much of today... like you said. Thank you for your comment
The memories of Brooklyn, New Your. Every Saturday morning the Shaw Brother's Kung Fu Classic... "The Five Deadly Venoms" and so much more... One of my all time best classic's!
Pure nostalgia in this comment. We are based in NYC so we miss those days too and we hope to recreate those days with Scenic Fights! Feel free to subscribe and join us in our journey.
Yes ..... indeed a masterpiece.... the Shaw brothers were beyond their time In presenting such an amazing attraction in skills, choreography, talent and a well acrobatic production...Sunday afternoons in 1980 were thrilling moments
Not sure what it was called in other areas of the US back in the 80's but down in south Florida the show was called Kung fu theater and it came on tv on Saturdays and I could not get enough this as a kid. Me and my brother would watch the show then go outside and commence to whooping each other a$$. Really brings back some great childhood memories.
Best Cult Classic Kung-Fu Movie EVER ! I never understood why this was never made into Anime. Anime artistry, an epic artist who is excellent in that craft combined with these five venoms and a great storyline would go viral instantly. You can even introduce new venoms to become allies or foes against them such as Killer Bee, Tarantula and Komodo Dragon plus others for the list goes on and on such as a Blue Ringed Octopus. Anime is the direct path towards reintroducing 5 Deadly Venom fans and making new fans with a global art form that will send shockwaves.
Still my all-time favorite martial arts movie of all time. The fact that there are only 3 fight scenes in the whole movie blows my mind. It says a lot about the great plot line.
Five Deadly Venoms, The Flying Guillotine, Fearless Fighters, Kid With The Golden Arm, all Classics I used to watch every Saturday afternoon on Kung-fu Theater!
The 5 Deadly Venoms has always been one of my all time favorites. Saw it as a kid in the 70's. And it was only a few years ago I was able to find it again.
I just feel this scene is complete without Toad. He would have had them all down within moments but that's just my opinion. I like how crafty the Scorpion turned out to be, and what a simpleton Centipede really is. Snake redeemed himself by delivering the fatal blow. Style-wise, I prefer the Scorpion's attacks because one of his kicks is enough to paralyze and even kill. Reminds me of Bruce Lee's philosophy about fearing the man who practices a thousand kicks. Overall, this film is a masterpiece, and ahead of its time.
wow, you really read into this movie. When i watched it i was prob only 7 so i was just in awe by the fighting, the sounds and outfits. Think i need to re watch it now that its 40 years later
Don't forget....Because of Lizard's ability to climb and stick to walls, his leg strength was no joke, which I think was overlooked...but Centipede found out the hard way.
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 fuck man, you guys are a bunch of fucking pussies... let a real fucking moving company from China film the remake instead of some bullshit Hollywood movie company, like the one that made Catwoman, or the bullshit Stars Wars 1-3 and 7-9. Talk about royal fuckups...
This movie is so great due largely to the plot. This final battle was one of only three real fight scenes in the entire movie. Can you name another Shaw Brother's movie with only three fight scenes? Just shows that greatness of the plot and character development in this movie.
Exactly! This is what I tell everyone when the topic of martial Arts movies comes up. Rather than a generic martial Arts movie centered around a good story idea this movie is more of a straight up crime drama with martial Arts fight scenes added in. One of the Shaw brothers best productions!
Phillip Kwok (known as Kuo Chui to audiences in the East) was “The Lizard” in the Five Deadly Venoms. The Taiwanese actor was a well-trained martial artist and acrobat with a wide range of skills. In his movies, he was shown to be adept at hand-to-hand combat and acrobatic stunts like back and front flips. He fought with a variety of weapons, but used a staff more than most. Its worth noting that Kwok took center stage in most of the Venom movies. Many of the Venom actors would alternate between hero and villain roles, but Kwok would always play one of the good guys. While some of the Venoms wouldn’t make it to the end of the movie, Kwok’s character would generally be one of the last heroes standing. After the Hong Kong industry shifted away from kung fu movies, Kwok continued acting for quite some time and played Mad Dog in John Woo’s Hard Boiled, a movie where Kwok handled the martial arts choreography.
Seems like a you’re Phillip Kwok fan, Kuo Chui has played a villian he’s the main villian in the Chinatown kid and though he is mostly last sole survivor he has died few times for example his death scene in invincible Shaolin is quite heroic and in life gamble he was outmatched and killed by Lee yi min another sb veteran and a legend of kung fu movies
Lo Mang, who played “The Toad” in Five Deadly Venoms, was nicknamed “The Shaolin Hercules” because of his muscular physique. Because of his build, Lo was usually cast as incredibly strong characters who used their fists more than they did swords or spears. Lo also had a tendency to play hotheaded and arrogant martial artists. Similar to Sun Chien, Lo played a combination of heroes and villains, but was a protagonist in most of his appearances. Both he and Chien weren’t in as many Venom movies as the other three actors, but did have starring roles in more than ten Venom Mob films. Out of all the Venom Mob members, Lo had the longest and most prolific career after the group’s disbandment. Since leaving Shaw Brothers, Lo has done a great deal of work in both movies and TV in Hong Kong. In what his perhaps his biggest role is recent years is that of monkey style expert Master Law in the last three Ip Man movies with Donnie Yen.
This is why it sucks to be a villain in real life... because you’ll turn on each other. Stay on the right team. Even gang members turn on each other after doing dirt 😁
The scene where Snake is talking to Scorpion, and regretting the murders, and asking "When will it end?", And Scorpion response is "It WILL NEVER END!" "ONCE AN EVIL DEED IS DONE, IT GOES ON FOREVER!" That saying always plays in my mind- how TRUE even from the worst evil enemy, truth comes out of him! And you KNEW that Scorpion WAS EVIL, AND HAD NO SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like how none of them (except Snake) thought it was weird that while the 4 of them are fighting, Scorpion is just standing there watching. Snake should've called out Scorpion at the very beginning.
Out of all of the venom mob,Kuo Chui aka Philip Kwok Chow Fung had the most successful career after the Shaw Bros. As a fight choreographer and sometimes actor. He even had a cameo scene in the James Bond movie Tomorrow never Dies. Blink and you'll miss him. He was also the action director.
@@pabzta Yeah it was even tougher getting roles in movies so he ended up in a Korean TV series. He died alone, his wife had already divorced him. I checked out the biography of the venoms last night.
It's so amazing how these guys trained relentlessly for hours on end to perfect every single move they made during these fight scenes, and got paid mere pennies for it. I once read that they would rehearse every part of these scenes until there entire bodies were covered black and blue with bruises. Today with CGI, almost any bum off the streets can create a fight scene without even working up a sweat
Wow that's sad though but you know Chinese people they work in sweatshops for pennies so I would think that it would have been different in the movies how much pennies are we talking about they were paid for this INCLUDING MY BOY Kuo Chui? How many pennies we talking they were paid for this best kung fu movie ever
Pretty sure fight scenes in live action movies aren't done with CGI, unless you're talking about superhero movies then I can agree, but regular action flicks... They do choreography just like how they did back in the day, and with the John Wick films it seems like there's a desire to go back to the wide screen long shot style of filming with as little cuts and shaky cam as possible just like how they did in these kung fu films back in the day
WHAT??? They weren't paid very much? Really? Shaw Brothers should have known that they had really really skilled individuals to make their film. And... the mere PRACTICING they had to go through! As you said. I am not familiar with the Shaw Brothers film studios... but... certainly DO know that they were a MAJOR STUDIO. How...in this world could they get away with NOT paying these martial artists what they certainly deserved??? Maybe you could tell me. Thank you for your comment
I'd love it if Toad would have been in this fight, but I understand they had to kill him of, because he was way too powerful. My favourite fighter was number 2 the snake. Because he felt a sense of regret for his action, and I liked his style more.
I like the Scorpion most because he's the last one to reveal himself. And chiefly responsible for toads death. The centipede is the least smartest one, gives himself away too easily.
After seeing this movie Saturday night on channel 2's kung fu theater, all the kids were trying to run up the walls at lunch time.lol It's too bad that today's young generation don't have the pleasure of seeing these types of films at the theater, or on television like in the 80's. What a time to remember!
“The Scorpion” in the Five Deadly Venoms was brought to life by Sun Chien, a Taekwondo master. The martial arts star is best known for his signature high kicks, which were a key element in his fighting style. His impressive kicking techniques helped the Venom Mob deliver some of their most exhilarating action sequences. As for how he would factor into the movies’ stories, Sun was a bit of a wild card. More often than not, he played heroes, but he also had his fair share of villainous roles, including his character in Five Deadly Venoms. There were also movies where his supposedly good-natured character would turn out to be a wicked traitor, which was the situation in both The Kid With the Golden Arm and The Rebel Intruders. Unfortunately, Sun’s characters - including the heroic ones - usually met with tragic ends and sometimes didn’t make it to the final fight.
The best martial arts movie ever 😮, never get tired of watching 😮I hope they ever try to remake this especially Quentin Tarantino keep your hands off this masterpiece 😮
Five Deadly Venoms has evolved into a cult classic. Its now-legendary fight scenes have made it a favorite among kung fu fans and one of the most influential martial arts movies of all-time. Due to its popularity, the stars were regularly reunited for several more movies in the years that followed. Since they were so often seen together, the group became known as the Venom Mob. They consisted of Chiang Sheng, Lo Mang, Lu Feng, Sun Chien, and Phillip Kwok. One common point of confusion regarding the Venom Mob is Wei Pei, who played the Snake. Though he was one of the movie’s Venoms, he’s not part of the quintet. Here’s what you need to know about the five actors in Shaw Brothers’ Venom Mob.
Loved watching these kung-fu movies when I was A kid. It was called Samurai Sunday. It played on WGBO(66 Channel)in Chicago every Sunday. I watched it religiously.
Man this is such a classic film. I'm so glad my homie Gene Tzu got me into this stuff. My top 5 favorite Venoms Mob movies are: 1. Invincible Shaolin 2. Two Champions From Shaolin 3. Ten Tigers From Kwangtung 4. Flag Of Iron 5. Five Deadly Venoms NUMBER FOUR LIZARD!
In 1978 I remember this classic and 1978's "Warriors 2" putting me on the path to martial arts study. After all these years the Venom Mob are still unforgettable and unfuqwithable.
Imagine getting up in the morning, looking in your closet and finding nothing but fancy outfits like these! I made a big splash when I went to Chinatown and came back with Kung Fu shoes, but wearing one of these would have made me the coolest dude on my block!
I remember as a 8yr old living in the bayarea.i use to stay up late to watch Kung Fu movie on Channel 2,and saw for the very first time,The Five Deadly Venoms and the character that stood out the most was The Snake style because I never saw anybody use the snake like he did.He shape his finger to look like snake teeth and use the other hand and points a finger outwards to resemble a rattles snake tail.i'm use to seeing Kung fu movie using there hands to shape like heads of a snake and strike straight out and block.Five Deadly Venons was a Great Kung fu movie.
Five Deadly Venoms is not only one of the best Kung Fu movies, but it's also one of the best movies ever. Thank you for sharing your story. We also miss those Saturday Kung Fu Movie days too!
@@ScenicFights Netflix's shaw brothers repertoire is limited. However Amazon prime has loads too many to mention but there are some disappointing omissions from the catalogue. Hopefully they'll add these in due course.
Lmao snap crackle pop I grew up in total poverty had no cable TV but weekend Sunday Afternoon Kung Fu theater was a dream come true . Even though I was a young teen defying gravity and circus aerial tricks didn’t phase me a bit still couldn’t get enough .
True to the point, The five deadly venom s no doubt was obviously a shaw brothers true masterpiece, beautiful astounding choreography of all five styles shown in this clip. Definitely worth the stacks, money renting or buying from netflix,why not just but it so you can peep it on a bad day off from work weather day? You won't go wrong!!!! hell naw!!!
This is an incredible restoration, does anyone know where this is from? I have been looking for a good quality version of this masterpiece. I am also noticing that parts of the fight are missing, e.g. when the scorpion throws darts at the snake. Are these missing from this restoration or are they edited out of this upload? Thank you!
These were edited out upon upload and the scene is from the 2011 BluRay that can be found on eBay. If you purely want to enjoy the movie with this quality, it's also available on Netflix to stream.
This scene has been edited to avoid some spoilers! If you haven’t seen “Five Deadly Venoms” yet, go watch it now!
Who is the best member of the Venom Mob and Who is your favorite?
#5 Tha' Toad
The Toad!!!!!! Respect to Lo Mang!!!
lizard
Bruce Lee
I like centipede style the best
If you were watching this as a kid in the '80s then you are probably one of the few that can appreciate these old school kung fu venom mob movies the shaw brothers were cranking out by the boat load.
Homeric.
Yeees,old school kickass karate fliks like this blazed the trail for badass movies,like IP Man, Chocolate etc.
It's fun watching that yellow rug at 5:20 get filthier and filthier as it gets re-used in later Shaw Bros movies. In Shaolin Intruders and 8 Diagram Pole Fighter it's almost light brown, it's so dirty.
@@MRBJT51 all of them was off the hook, especially the lizzard
Yes KID WITH THE GOLDEN ARM SUPER NINJAS RETURN OF THE FIVE DEADLY.
My childhood memories are filled with Saturday afternoon martial arts movies that still say with me until this day. I will always love Shaw brothers for that❤.
Kung Fu Theater?
@@rpscorp9457 absolutely 🙌🏽
I love how the Scorpian is just chilling on the side line waving his fan and calculating his next move.
He's expecting Sub-Zero
One of the ALL TIME BEST! After we saw this movie every kid in my neighborhood was doing the 'snake technique'.
I love it 💕😍❤️❤️
Snake was my favorite too, he was smooth maybe because he was rich,...
@@kennethcanady8826 LOL 😂👍🏽
This Is in the Top 5 of the old school kung fu movies
Avenging Eagle" is another "Kid with the Golden arm
That list goes on and on
So many great kung fu movies from the genre
Word! Me and my friends too!
Kung fu theatre was the best on Saturdays 😊. Great time to be a kid in the late 70s early 80s.
You ain’t never lied!!! When Saturday morning cartoons was done. Get ready for kung fu theater.
Wish they still showed on saturdays. I was 19 at the time and married. This was my favorite of all. Still have the vhs tape.
Dont forget flying guillotine
Right after NWA WRESTLING SATURDAYS WERE AWESOME IN 80,S 😮😊
Love the over-the-top sounds in these older flicks. The Shaw Brothers knew how to make it dramatic beyond just the visuals. The sounds in these scenes really complement the martial arts.
It really does.
Wit' Dat'.......(wommph, wommph...........tssh-tssh-tssh, wommph, wommph,...tssh-wommph........tssh.........Wa'Poow)
Grew up with my dad telling this movie as a bed time story. Didn't see it until I was an adult. Now it's one of my favorite kungfu classics.
Your Dad told the best bed time stories!
lmao was your father an aging kung fu teacher
"Once upon a time, I had five pupils..." :)

WOW
I was 8 when I watched this. I rushed to the playground afterward to try my new skills. The other kids had no idea how close they came to death that day.
Haha
🤳🏽🤓🤣😂🤭
LMAO FACTS!
In junior high we had to write a poem in English class and I wrote mine about the Five Venoms.
How'd that climbing up the wall, work out for you,??? Lmao
This was a genuine pleasure to watch again after all these years
5 Deadly Venoms hold up so well! The choreography and story is amazing. When people ask me which kung fu movie they should watch first, I always recommend this one and Five Elements Ninjas.
m.ua-cam.com/video/Ke443IEvnpQ/v-deo.html
I like this movie so much 😮that I bought it so I can watch whenever I want 😮
Just stunning for a film that was made in 1978. Too good!
The Kid with the Golden Arm is another great one from the Shaw Brothers.
The way the Toad die was heartbreaking
I hated how they did my boy
It was a honour to die in a Chang chi movie.
They knew that Toad Was the strongest and most incredibly powerful one of the five. And they knew that Toad was invincible compared to all of them. That's why their punk asses did that to him because they knew they couldn't handle him alone. those cowardly bastards
Wish lizard was their to help toad he found out 2 late.. lizard,and toad were my faves the good guys
@@jamesroberts1810 same, I was hoping the police chief/scorpion was good guy too but nope
True kung fu masters showing off their skills and talent. Something we won't see a lot today anymore. Shaw brothers doing a damn good job directing the film and thr stunt people doing at damn good job making them actors look superb!!!

Drive In Movie Channel 5 I wish I could remember the names of all the movies scenes I remember. Great memories!
who remembers man with the flying guillotine?
One of the most awesome fight scenes ever! I still do every venom style I saw in this great movie clip!
coreography so good, Shaw bros is not a b-movies studio, is pure art
I will always have love for these old skool flicks! ✊🏾
Decades later still one of the greatest Kung Fu movies ever to touch the screen. Classic. Timeless. Genius.
1. 5 deadly venoms
2. 5 elements ninja
3. Crippled avengers
4. Kid with the golden arms
I went through a huge binge on this genre and all these films are so worth a watch if you’re into it.
Yes yes my favs
5 element ninjas also titled Super Ninjas or Chinese Super Ninjas. The 5 deadly venoms are my top favorite kung fu movies
Great list. Grew up on all of them. Especially the 5 element ninjas or (super ninjas) as it was sometimes labeled
@@Locuttis Yeah it was shown as Super Ninjas when I was young.
This resurfaces good memories of watching this movie when I was a teenager. I miss this movie, thank you for sharing!
Yes ..... indeed a masterpiece.... the Shaw brothers were beyond their time In presenting such an amazing attraction in skills, choreography, talent and a well acrobatic production...Sunday afternoons in 1980 were thrilling moments
They are the best when it comes to Kung Fu movies
İslam Moe 🤚🏼
CO-SIGN...💯!!!
Saturday afternoons for in NJ/NYC area
the best part of the movie was the story and the twists
Don't let the world fool you. This is what fighting to the death looks like.
The Five Deadly Venoms will always remain a classic like Enter the Dragon and The Street Fighter with Sonny Chiba.
This is one of the most important movies of my life... This movie changed my life.... MUCH RESPECT TO RUN RUN SHAW
Thank you for the wonderful memories,of one of my favorite movies of all time! ❤❤❤ ( 10-29-24 ) Tuesday

I found this movie a few years ago and downloaded it to my dvr. This flick definitely takes me back to when I was 10. Still dig it.
Seeing this as a kid got me into studying martial arts but never forgot how awesome this movie was!😉🤗👍

Still my all-time favorite martial arts movie of all time. The fact that there are only 3 fight scenes in the whole movie blows my mind. It says a lot about the great plot line.
When I was allowed to watch the telly, it was usually these kind of films. I loved every single minute of them
One of the greatest Kung Fu flicks of all time
I remember watching the movies when I was in elementary school with my bros and dad at local theatres. There were nostalgic.
Same here
When I was a kid these movies were the best two hours of our afternoon.
Watched these when i was 8 and still watching decades later:)
Five Deadly Venoms, The Flying Guillotine, Fearless Fighters, Kid With The Golden Arm, all Classics I used to watch every Saturday afternoon on Kung-fu Theater!
Facts but you left out Master Killer 36 Chambers of Shaolin.
My brother Steve would watch kung fu theater every Saturday morning. Then he would go outside and practice the moves.
Great fight! Shaw brothers still stands the test of time
This was one of the best and one of my all time favorite Kung Fu movies. Even the title of the movie and the characters were exceptional!
Man, this brings back memories xD VHS days 🙌
VHS days were awesome! Finding these movies in the flea market and not knowing which dub you might get were always fun lol.
@@ScenicFights Aw yeah! subscribed! lol
Yes it does.
The 5 Deadly Venoms has always been one of my all time favorites. Saw it as a kid in the 70's. And it was only a few years ago I was able to find it again.

@Avery Marc ...came here to say the same thing.
🤦🏻♂️

Don't forget....Because of Lizard's ability to climb and stick to walls, his leg strength was no joke, which I think was overlooked...but Centipede found out the hard way.
One of the best. I wish someone would re-release this on Blu Ray in the UK. It's very hard to track down.
I always felt like they should remake this movie. But I always felt like they would find a way to screw it up too.
And they would
they must remake this movie... and put it into a modern setting... instead of use the same setting from ancient china...
Please do not remake this movie; they will screw it up!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d rather they leave it alone
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 fuck man, you guys are a bunch of fucking pussies... let a real fucking moving company from China film the remake instead of some bullshit Hollywood movie company, like the one that made Catwoman, or the bullshit Stars Wars 1-3 and 7-9. Talk about royal fuckups...
I love "8 Diagram Pole Fighter" especially when he becomes a dentist at the end.
I have that movie on DVD and the staff fighting choreography is pure amazement.
36 Chambers
That was brutal! He "defanged the wolves", LOL!
I just saw the bamboo scene it was insane. This is borrowing in comparisons so predicable motion.
Yes, rendered the wolves harmless by removing their teeth.🤣🤣
This movie is so great due largely to the plot. This final battle was one of only three real fight scenes in the entire movie. Can you name another Shaw Brother's movie with only three fight scenes? Just shows that greatness of the plot and character development in this movie.
This movies plot is unlike any in Martial arts cinema history. One of a kind movie!
But they edited out one very key point in this last scene. Once the Scorpion in exposed, he uses DARTS to incapacitate the Snake.
Exactly! This is what I tell everyone when the topic of martial Arts movies comes up. Rather than a generic martial Arts movie centered around a good story idea this movie is more of a straight up crime drama with martial Arts fight scenes added in. One of the Shaw brothers best productions!
Maybe invincible Shaolin
Also five element ninjas
Back in the days, I grew up watching this stuff... :D

I went to the movie in the early 80s and saw the greatest movie ever,still watch it once in a blue moon.
To this day, every time I see a single lizard crawl by, I yell out “Number 4 Lizard!” Lol

You know, Chiang Sheng, (Teacher's Last Pupil)is no longer with us. What shame he could have made it too I think.
@@darrylguerrant5101 Yeah he died young also. Apparently he drank a lot and fell into depression. Died from a heart attack.
@@pabzta Yeah it was even tougher getting roles in movies so he ended up in a Korean TV series. He died alone, his wife had already divorced him. I checked out the biography of the venoms last night.
I love how these old kung-fu movies have like the same 10 actors. They are talented guys
One of the best martial arts films ever made!!!
Reliving my childhood!
It's so amazing how these guys trained relentlessly for hours on end to perfect every single move they made during these fight scenes, and got paid mere pennies for it. I once read that they would rehearse every part of these scenes until there entire bodies were covered black and blue with bruises. Today with CGI, almost any bum off the streets can create a fight scene without even working up a sweat
Not only that, but the "five venoms" went on to distinguished careers with the Shaw Brothers. A real go-to troop.
Wow that's sad though but you know Chinese people they work in sweatshops for pennies so I would think that it would have been different in the movies how much pennies are we talking about they were paid for this INCLUDING MY BOY Kuo Chui? How many pennies we talking they were paid for this best kung fu movie ever
Pretty sure fight scenes in live action movies aren't done with CGI, unless you're talking about superhero movies then I can agree, but regular action flicks... They do choreography just like how they did back in the day, and with the John Wick films it seems like there's a desire to go back to the wide screen long shot style of filming with as little cuts and shaky cam as possible just like how they did in these kung fu films back in the day
WHAT??? They weren't paid very much? Really? Shaw Brothers should have known that they had really really skilled individuals to make their film. And... the mere PRACTICING they had to go through! As you said. I am not familiar with the Shaw Brothers film studios... but... certainly DO know that they were a MAJOR STUDIO. How...in this world could they get away with NOT paying these martial artists what they certainly deserved??? Maybe you could tell me. Thank you for your comment
@@debraweaver6308 Its the Hong Kong ethic.
There needs to be a channel dedicated solely to this! What a time to be alive!!
Check out the channel “Wu Tang Collection”
I'd love it if Toad would have been in this fight, but I understand they had to kill him of, because he was way too powerful. My favourite fighter was number 2 the snake. Because he felt a sense of regret for his action, and I liked his style more.
100% I wish Toad was here too. Lo Mang was the best.
I said the same thing....he turned good at the last moment, but still had to die for his evil. Scorpion & Snake was my favorite followed by Lizard
I have to agree the snake's flexibility is the best besides the toad The Lizard is my top favorite.
Lo Meng is strongest and the most powerful member in venom mob.
I like the Scorpion most because he's the last one to reveal himself. And chiefly responsible for toads death.
The centipede is the least smartest one, gives himself away too easily.
After seeing this movie Saturday night on channel 2's kung fu theater, all the kids were trying to run up the walls at lunch time.lol It's too bad that today's young generation don't have the pleasure of seeing these types of films at the theater, or on television like in the 80's. What a time to remember!
1. Five Elements Ninjas
2. Five Shaolin Masters
3. Five Deadly Venoms

One of my favorite classic kung fu movies! Great action and scripted perfectly. Watched it over and over.
One of the Greatest martial arts movies ever made!
The Kid with the Golden Arm. All those actors were awesome!
THE GREATEST FIGHT SCENE EVER!
The Snakes finger sequence with number 5 is a cinematic classic!!
“The Scorpion” in the Five Deadly Venoms was brought to life by Sun Chien, a Taekwondo master. The martial arts star is best known for his signature high kicks, which were a key element in his fighting style. His impressive kicking techniques helped the Venom Mob deliver some of their most exhilarating action sequences. As for how he would factor into the movies’ stories, Sun was a bit of a wild card. More often than not, he played heroes, but he also had his fair share of villainous roles, including his character in Five Deadly Venoms. There were also movies where his supposedly good-natured character would turn out to be a wicked traitor, which was the situation in both The Kid With the Golden Arm and The Rebel Intruders. Unfortunately, Sun’s characters - including the heroic ones - usually met with tragic ends and sometimes didn’t make it to the final fight.
Channel 5 in NYC (80’s). Such wonderful memories.
All of the shawbrothers movies are my favorites.
The best martial arts movie ever 😮, never get tired of watching 😮I hope they ever try to remake this especially Quentin Tarantino keep your hands off this masterpiece 😮
LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH.
The Shaw Brothers are a juggernaut in the martial arts movie genre!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🫵🙌🙌
Early 1980's every Saturday@3 p.m. in NYC...we all was in front of the T.V.
I miss these old movies.
As a kid in 80's I was ready to fight all my neighborhood friends... and as i watch this in my 50's, I'm exhausted... baaahahaha 🤣
Same here
My ALL Time Favorite Kung-Fu Movie. 😊😊😊😊
Yep, tried all of these moves when I was 7 watching this. It's become an instinct when danger is near.
I believe that the five deadly venoms is the greatest martial arts movie that I had ever seen of all-time that is a fact without a doubt period.....
This needs to be REMADE in a homage to the original!!
I'm surprised it hasn't been remade. It seems like everything is or modified with American actors. Like Bangkok Dangerous or Man from no where.
the rawest kung Fu movie of all time!
This film was beautifully choregraphed by Opera member Robert Tai Chi Hsien RIP. And GM Leung Ting disciple of Yip Man.
Five Deadly Venoms has evolved into a cult classic. Its now-legendary fight scenes have made it a favorite among kung fu fans and one of the most influential martial arts movies of all-time. Due to its popularity, the stars were regularly reunited for several more movies in the years that followed. Since they were so often seen together, the group became known as the Venom Mob. They consisted of Chiang Sheng, Lo Mang, Lu Feng, Sun Chien, and Phillip Kwok. One common point of confusion regarding the Venom Mob is Wei Pei, who played the Snake. Though he was one of the movie’s Venoms, he’s not part of the quintet. Here’s what you need to know about the five actors in Shaw Brothers’ Venom Mob.
My Number #1 Top Rated Kung Fu Favorite Of All Time Is Masked Avengers.
Loved watching these kung-fu movies when I was A kid. It was called Samurai Sunday. It played on WGBO(66 Channel)in Chicago every Sunday. I watched it religiously.
Man this is such a classic film. I'm so glad my homie Gene Tzu got me into this stuff. My top 5 favorite Venoms Mob movies are:
1. Invincible Shaolin
2. Two Champions From Shaolin
3. Ten Tigers From Kwangtung
4. Flag Of Iron
5. Five Deadly Venoms
NUMBER FOUR LIZARD!
Lol... im glad I found this comment. Those are my top 2 as well. Im glad to a fan of kung-fu movies. I love the SB - they are my favorite movies.
In 1978 I remember this classic and 1978's "Warriors 2" putting me on the path to martial arts study. After all these years the Venom Mob are still unforgettable and unfuqwithable.
This movie really was a cut above the rest
Imagine getting up in the morning, looking in your closet and finding nothing but fancy outfits like these! I made a big splash when I went to Chinatown and came back with Kung Fu shoes, but wearing one of these would have made me the coolest dude on my block!
Shaw brothers movie are the best movie my time, I still watch their movies
I remember as a 8yr old living in the bayarea.i use to stay up late to watch Kung Fu movie on Channel 2,and saw for the very first time,The Five Deadly Venoms and the character that stood out the most was The Snake style because I never saw anybody use the snake like he did.He shape his finger to look like snake teeth and use the other hand and points a finger outwards to resemble a rattles snake tail.i'm use to seeing Kung fu movie using there hands to shape like heads of a snake and strike straight out and block.Five Deadly Venons was a Great Kung fu movie.
Five Deadly Venoms is not only one of the best Kung Fu movies, but it's also one of the best movies ever. Thank you for sharing your story. We also miss those Saturday Kung Fu Movie days too!
Five deadly venoms
Challenge of Death
Eagles Claw
Hammerfist
Kung fu of the 8 Drunkards
Netflix need to add more classic Kung-fu flicks. Like Kid with the golden arms 😎
100% such an epic film. Lo Mang is the man!
@@ScenicFights Netflix's shaw brothers repertoire is limited. However Amazon prime has loads too many to mention but there are some disappointing omissions from the catalogue. Hopefully they'll add these in due course.
Excellent fight scenes, no shaky camera.
I stand close to walls like number four the lizard!- The RZA
Lmao snap crackle pop I grew up in total poverty had no cable TV but weekend Sunday Afternoon Kung Fu theater was a dream come true . Even though I was a young teen defying gravity and circus aerial tricks didn’t phase me a bit still couldn’t get enough .
The Kid With The Golden Arm
My all-time favorite.
One of the greatest movie ever along with five elements, the crippled avengers and all Shaw Bros movies
True to the
point,
The five deadly venom s no doubt was obviously a shaw brothers true masterpiece, beautiful astounding choreography of all five styles shown in this clip. Definitely worth the stacks, money renting or buying from netflix,why not just but it so you can peep it on a bad day off from work weather day? You won't go wrong!!!! hell naw!!!
This is an incredible restoration, does anyone know where this is from? I have been looking for a good quality version of this masterpiece. I am also noticing that parts of the fight are missing, e.g. when the scorpion throws darts at the snake. Are these missing from this restoration or are they edited out of this upload? Thank you!
These were edited out upon upload and the scene is from the 2011 BluRay that can be found on eBay. If you purely want to enjoy the movie with this quality, it's also available on Netflix to stream.
@@ScenicFights thank you very much for your reply and for the upload!
