Invincible Shaolin

Master of the "brotherhood" films, award winning director Chang Cheh has always had a good eye for martial art talent and in Invincible Shaolin he re-introduces what was to become known as the The Five Venoms to the world of heroic bloodshed. Chang intelligently weaves a mythical tale of treachery centered around the historic attempts of the Ching Dynasty trying to destroy the Shaolin Monasteries. It's a story of misunderstanding, revenge and doomed heroes who finally realize their error in judgment through the sanctity of their martial arts. The various fighting styles used are choreographed with such amazing precision and insanity, that it's hard to believe that all this psychotic stylish action was shot and made up as they went along. It's marvelous to behold.
