Member Tosh Posted November 14, 2015 Member Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Wei Pei absolutely shines in Last Hurrah for Chivalry, I think the problem is he's surrounded was by such a depth of talent between the rest of them that he becomes the odd man out, he is also probably a good looking guy that pulls the pouty rich boy off to a T in 5DV(and KwtGA). Sun was definitely underused, none more so than in Human Lanterns. They were all an inspiration but Kuo Chui was the man, I remember doing flips off/on the couch and a couple neighborhood kids and me destroying my mother's living room a couple times after watching their movies on tv as a kid Edited November 14, 2015 by Tosh 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted November 15, 2015 Author Member Share Posted November 15, 2015 That picture of Sun Chien kicking - wow (too busy staring at Lu Feng looking swell in his bellbottoms.) Seriously though, Sun was sadly underused. He was a good actor, a wonderful kicker and had terrific presence. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member FieryReign Posted November 28, 2015 Member Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Where does Wang Li fit in? I always regarded him as an honorary part of the crew. Like Cappadonna with the Wu. He was in more films with the mob than Wei Pai. Dude had some skills and his timing was on point. Could play one hell of a villain as well. What the hell ever happened to him? Edited November 28, 2015 by FieryReign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell ever happened to him?Many of the "Crew" were in more Venoms films than certain Venoms themselves. Yet sadly get less attention because they weren't one of the original poison clan. Wang Li is a great example. I'll give another - Chu Ko. Shows insane skills with a trident and threatens to steal the show in Masked Avengers. I also really like Lung Tien Sheng (spearman in white) and always gladdened to see performances from some of the 2nd tier like Yu Tai Ping or Yang Hsiung. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chu Ko skills are insanely great and he's tied with Lu Feng as my favorite now. Chu can do pretty much anything and literally throws himself into the fights (so many spontaneous flips, spits, and leaps.) It's been an absolute joy discovering Chu and seeing that he can equal Lu, Chiang, Ricky and Kwok with ease says something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted November 29, 2015 Author Member Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks Tosh, I often still confuse Wang Li with Yu Tai-Ping and Kwan Fung. and yes Wang Li rocks that 'stach mightly.

Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted December 18, 2015 Author Member Share Posted December 18, 2015 I may be on - off with some of Kwok Choi performances lately, but am super thrilled to have Life Gamble available digitally. His blacksmith character who traded his weapon smith skills for Kung fu techniques remains one of the coolest characters I have seen in these films, such a great concept. No, I have no plans of seeing the remake. And yes I quite like Lo Meng and his wig in this too. Also fun is Chiang Sheng as the Deadly Whip. As for my dear Lu, traditional part for him, fun but every other Venom is more entertaining here for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member LuFengLover Posted December 11, 2016 Member Share Posted December 11, 2016 On 7/26/2015 at 0:05 PM, Lady Jin Szu-Yi said: What little I know of Shapes, I have to agree with that, although I like that they lifted the Eagle Claw for the Snake 'fangs'. So what are your favorite Venoms films (you've mentioned Chiang is your favorite of the bunch.) According to a Lu Feng interview, the Snake style in the 5 Venoms was completely made up for the film. The film took longer to complete due to this. They thought this new Snake style would look good on screen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted March 1, 2017 Member Share Posted March 1, 2017 I really wish there was a single definitive Venoms Fight, where it shows all of them at their very best. In my opinion, the closest we got was the finale to Shaolin Rescuers, which was chock-full of good acrobatics, LOTS of weapons work (including the halberd, the hooks and Lu Feng's trademark Kwan do fighting), and a decent amount of hand-to-hand combat. Sadly, Sun Chien's prowess atop the poles doesn't make for his best footwork. The finale for Invincible Shaolin also comes close, but I think they should've given Lu Feng a weapon. And then Sun Chien was absent for the prolonged finale to The Daredevils. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that several of the Venoms and Venom related movies are on Amazon Prime. Glad I can finally check out some of the lesser known titles like Attack of the Joyful Godess or the Weird Man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they were right about that too, the way they portrayed the two fingers as the fangs of the snake was cool as hell and added a new dimension to the way it was portrayed in the past. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted April 1, 2020 Member Share Posted April 1, 2020 Great compilation, and the music fits just prefectly. In many scenes you'd think the Venoms do hear it too and adapt their movement rhythm accordingly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cognoscente Posted May 8, 2021 Member Share Posted May 8, 2021 I wish they did a Venoms meets the Lucky Stars movie. It could have been about five comedians who need five bodyguards during a world tour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
