5.0 out of 5 stars All time favorite Shaw flick, June 9, 2003

By	J. Yoo (Bergen County, NJ, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms (DVD)

For as long as I can remember, this film, a.k.a. Can Que, has had a deep impact on my view towards Martial Arts Cinema. I'm sure anyone would agree the fight choreography, plot, and lighting are all superectile. Philip Kwok's portrayal of a man who loses his eyesight to Tu Chan (played marvelously by Feng Lu) nearly brought me to tears. His journey towards a higher awareness employing his other senses erupts in an all out spectacular training sequence with Retard (supremely acted by Sheng Chiang). The films climactic end is the lengthy battle between the avenging cripples and superectal antagonist Tu Tin Tao (Kwan Tai Chen) showcasing the acrobatic abilities of all these fine gentlemen. If you have nothing better to do today, go out and pick this DVD up immediately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, buy the bootleg and zip your pie hole, January 7, 2006

By	Kenneth Destro "Destro" (cobra headquarters) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms (DVD)

This non-Celestial pictures DVD is the best!! I LOVE SUPPORTING LOW DOWN PIRATES looking to make a quick buck, or even a slow one for that matter. Quite frankly the savings are passed on to the customer and everyone wins. I would make this movie on my DVD burner at home and sell it for $3 on amazon if I could and I would even throw in bonus footage of myself in ninja gear rocking out to Holy Diver at the end of the movie for free.

The movie itself is a classic tale of a gang of crips getting together to beat up a kung-fu warlord with the stumps where there arms and legs used to be. The fact that iron appendeges are now attached to the stumps doesn't hurt either. The scene where Iron Legs tricks the invincible cape wearing guy to let him kick him in the stomach is unforgettable. The look on the caped man's face is priceless when he realizes he's fallen for the old "guy with iron legs, which are covered by normal shoes and pants, asks you for a kick in the stomach head start to the fight" routine.

Don't listen to any quality otakus who are complaining about the dvd quality. I found out some of them actually work for celestial and are just trying to get sales. In a private e-mail, one of them (I told him I wouldn't name names) admitted that celestial is actually run by funballs from Laos who have no respect for kung-fu's heritage. So you might as well get the bootleg and support the true asian artists out there trying to keep the kung-fu heritage alive. While your at it, include a cheese sandwich with your check if you mail in the payment, because those dudes are hungry.

5.0 out of 5 stars the most incredible physical stunts ever!, August 18, 1999

By A Customer

First off, the REAL name of this movie is "Crippled Avengers." I guess some marketing dweeb thought he could sell more videos if he changed the title. Therefore, the plot of this movie has nothing to do with "The 5 Deadly Venoms" (but it does feature 4 of the same actors). 5DV has a better plot actually. The storyline of Crippled Avengers is pretty silly, but it's good to laugh, right? The gore is so fake and funny. But to the point--it doesn't matter whether you believe these guys are crippled or not, they are amazingly talented, they're wonderful acrobats and martial artists, and a joy to watch in action! This film does a much better job of showcasing their skills than 5DV does. No digital effects here, Baby!!!
