Member Iron_Leopard Posted July 14, 2020 Member Share Posted July 14, 2020 Wooooooooow! Why isnt this movie more popular? Are yawl sure this came out in 1970? These fight scenes are on a whole new level. This had to have been inspiration for "Five Deadly Venoms" as the story is almost identical. Cheng Pei Pei has more screen presence than any other actress I've seen so far at Shaw Brothers. I think shes my favorite actress now and I haven't even seen "Shadow Whip" yet. I'm sure that one will seal the deal. That's all I'll say cause I dont want to spoil anything. But if you haven't seen this one yet then add it to your Prime watchlist immediately. Yet another triumph for the late 60s/early 70s Golden Age of Shaw Wuxia. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted July 14, 2020 Member Share Posted July 14, 2020 I revisited BROTHERS 5 about a year ago and found it very enjoyable, with especially beautiful landscape and settings. With its cheer for Teamwork, it even got something like a message Waiting for a phone call, having little else to do at the moment, I thought about other titles with "numbered protagonists". There are quite a lot of them! THE MIGHTY ONE DEADLY DUO, HEROES TWO, TWO CHAMPIONS OF SHAOLIN SWORDSWOMEN THREE, MAGNIFICENT TRIO FOUR RIDERS FIVE SHAOLIN MASTERS, BROTHER FIVE, KILLERS FIVE, FIVE VENOMS, FIVE TOUGH GUYS, FIVE SUPERFIGHTERS SIX ASSASSINS SEVEN MEN ARMY NOTORIOUS EIGHT FOURTEEN AMAZONS 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted July 15, 2020 Member Share Posted July 15, 2020 D'oh of course, how could I forget those titles. 14 hours ago, ShawAngela said: The French titles of The Heroic ones is : Les 13 fils du Dragon d'Or LOL the German title translates to "13 sons of the yellow tiger". The guys who "translated" the titles then were obsessed with yellow tigers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chu Liu Hsiang Posted July 29, 2020 Member Share Posted July 29, 2020 The original title for PAINTED FACES is Seven Little Fortunes. Got curious and checked the other titles you mentioned, THE IMPOSTER is Seven Face Man, MAID FROM HEAVEN is Seven Faires. FIVE ELEMENT NINJAS 36th CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN etc SQUADRON 77 NA CHA AND THE SEVEN DEVILS THE FIVE BILLION DOLLAR LEGACY THE THREE SMILES EIGHT DIAGRAM POLE FIGHTER VIRGINS OF THE SEVEN SEAS THREE SINNERS We're really getting the Shaws by the numbers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
