Comments

Routine Chang Cheh / Venoms film. Loads of entertaining although not mindblowing fights throughout, plus a very good finale. The storyline and character relationship are a bit messy especially in the beginning. Acting is stiff, so unless if you’re a hard core Venoms fan this could actually work better with a good english dub. One female character has also found her way into the film. The usual studio sets looked nice once again, although maybe that was because it’s been quite long since I last watched a Shaw Bros. film. - HungFist
