The Magnificent Ruffians (1979)

My rating: 4/10

Yeah, these "glorified stunt show" type wuxias just ain't for me. My attention didn't just wander on this one, it went on a nice long hike in the country, befriended several woodland critters, and brought back souvenirs.

obsessed with this sweet little bangs-having dude. his beloved shifu is dying of Death Disease and says my boy it is time i told you: you have five evil shixiong. the reason why you have five evil shixiong is because our sect is evil and the whole jianghu hates our guts, and yes your martial arts suck absolute ass but i do need you to defeat all of them for me. i don’t know what names they’re going by or where they’re at, but for a starting place you can go talk to my cringefail shidi. i also don’t know what name he’s going by or where he’s at. good luck my boy

THE CRIPPLED AVENGERS (1978)

This film was originally released in the States with the title The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. While it shares the same director (Chang Cheh) and many of the same actors (4 members of the Venom Mob star), it has nothing to do with Five Deadly Venoms.

A kung fu flick featuring Cheh's signature blood and brutality, this film focuses on four men, crippled in very cruel ways by the chief villain. The men train in various fighting techniques to overcome their disabilities, then take on the villain and his son in a final battle that leaves a whole lot of blood and bodies on the ground at the end.
