This is the way a Venom film should be seen

I can finally get rid of my pan & scan bootleg quality DVD, and I have Sword Masters to thank. First, it's directed by the Godfather of HK movies, Chang Cheh; second, it's got the Venoms in it. 'Nuff said. Despite missing Philip Kwok (Kuo Chui), he is listed as the head choreographer. Kuo was having "ego" issues with Lu Feng, and he got so angry he refused to appear in it. In spite of his absence, it's still a great film; I feel it's superior to "Showdown at the Cotton Mill" ("Two Champions..." is sort of modeled after that). Lo Mang got to show his leading man talent, and Chin Siu-Hou (Fist of Legend) got his big break. The 15 minute end fight is not to be missed. I don't know too much about "Sword Masters" (they're doing Chang's 1970 classic "Heroic Ones" as well), but they did a decent job here. Remastered, widescreen, uncut and your choice of Mandarin or English. I'd go with the Mandarin because not only are the subtitles well done, but the English track sounded a bit muffled. I think it's fabulous that these classic Shaw Brothers movies are being re-issued like this.

Lo Mang is up against the entirely deceitful Lu Feng who does a tremendous job with his role here as the Monkey King of his three masked, monkey hitmen. When he first meets Lo Mang at the grave of someone he'd just murdered he delivers a truly excellent performance. Although laying out silken rugs and exquisite dishes before the unaware guests Lo Mang and co. the esquisitely deceitful Lu Feng then goes on to explain that, "me? I'm a nobody, just a traveling scholar, certaintly not as important as you famous fighters." we're talking spot on delivery with his lines here. This is the english dubbed version I'm citing here. He thoroughly deceives Lo Mang and co. while they're visiting the grave of comrades he (Lu Feng) and his monkey style henchmen just murdered. Great film. A must have for any venoms fan.

A team that ranks high in the pantheon of cult kung-fu flicks is a quintet of martial artists who burst upon the screen in The Five Venoms followed by Crippled Avengers and other cult classics. The five venoms are reunited in Two Champions Of Shaolin with four of the fab five wreaking havoc on screen and the fifth venom active behind the camera as action choreographer. It s a battle between two Ching Dynasty clans Shaolin and Wutang. The Shaolin champions are anti-Manchu and naturally represent the forces of good as they use their considerable force to crush the devious Wutang clan. The man behind the mayhem director Chang Cheh virtually invented the Shaolin genre of kung-fu movies and shows he has more than a few new tricks up his sleeve when unleashing his venomous heroes.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/MARTIAL ARTS UPC: 181582000487 Manufacturer No: WD-69
