I love Five Deadly Venom's and Return Of Five Deadly Venom's. Are these the only two? I looked it up and there seem to be many films that feature some of the characters, but not all of them.
Five Deadly Venoms and Return of the Five Deadly Venoms aren’t technically a series of films. Return of the Five Deadly Venoms is actually Crippled Avengers but was renamed for American audiences to cash in on Five Deadly Venoms.
Five of the actors in these films (Lo Meng, Philip Kwok, Lu Feng, Sun Chien and Chiang Sheng) became known as the “Venom Mob” by kung fu cinema fans and went on to star in a bunch of films together; the majority of which were directed by one guy: Chang Cheh.
You’ll hear a lot of people talk about “Venoms films” when referring to movies with three or more of the Venom Mob in them. The Venoms are pretty much their own sub genre.
Some Venom films include…
Invincible Shaolin
Kid with the Golden Arm
Two Champions of Shaolin
Ten Tigers from Kwangtung
Masked Avengers
The Rebel Intruders
Shaolin Rescuers
The Magnificent Ruffians
I don’t think any of them are less than three star films. Most are four stars and, of course, some are five star classics. They’re definitely worth seeking out.

Why do they use swastika in venom movies?
Thank you so much for this ask! It gives me the opportunity to clear up a common misunderstanding.
This is the symbol shown in Venoms films (this screenshot is from Shaolin Rescuers)...
Tumblr media
...and this is the swastika associated with Nazis.
Tumblr media
The symbol seen in Venoms films is an ancient symbol of divinity and spirituality, and predates the Nazi party by an untold number of years. The Nazi party later corrupted and bastardized the swastika and appropriated it into a symbol of hate. You'll notice that the Nazi swastika is the right facing swastika, whereas the most commonly seen spiritual sauwastika in media is left facing. Not only that, but the Nazi swastika is also on its corner, which personally gives me the sense of imbalance and unease, whereas the original swastika is steady on its base.
Here is a direct quote from the wikipedia article that also addresses the different facings. "The word swastika comes from Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक, romanized: svastika, meaning "conducive to well-being". In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (clockwise) (卐) is called swastika, symbolizing surya ("sun"), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (counter-clockwise) (卍) is called sauwastika, symbolising night or tantric aspects of Kali."
Regardless of which way it faces, it doesn't change the fact that the swastika was a symbol of spirituality first and foremost, and continues to serve as such in many Asian countries to this day.
Venoms films are not the only Chinese films that show the left facing sauwastika, and you'll notice it has a high chance of appearing on screen if the film's location is in a temple. Because, once again, it is a holy symbol first and foremost.
Venoms films are not the first piece of media to contain the left facing sauwastika, which has also caused confusion and offense in the West due to western people's ignorance to the fact that it is still a religious symbol held in reverence in Asia. Because of this, it has been censored multiple times, even when it was not the Nazi's swastika that was being depicted.
For examples from some Japanese anime, here is Naruto's Neji in the manga...
Tumblr media
...and here he is in the anime.
Tumblr media
Likewise, here is One Piece's Ace in the manga...
Tumblr media
...and here he is in the anime.
Tumblr media
In both of these instances, it was the left facing sauwastika that was being shown, not the right facing swastika. But, since not enough people in the west know the difference, it had to be censored regardless.
If you live in the West then it's very likely you have been ingrained with a knee jerk reaction to seeing a swastika--which is not unfounded! It can never be stressed enough the amount of horror and hatred the Nazi swastika represents, but what is unfortunate is the fact that it has managed to completely drown out the good and holy qualities of the original religious sauwastika.
Once again, thank you so much for coming to us about this, as I think it's very important that people know why they may see the swastika in pieces of media that come out of other parts of the world, and why it may not always be as bad as it at first seems. Like it said in the wikipedia article, "Reverence for the swastika symbol in Asian cultures, in contrast to the stigma attached to it in the West, has led to misinterpretations and misunderstandings." So thank you so much for giving me the chance to clear things up!

Meet the Venoms - Lo Mang
Lo Mang (sometimes referred to as Lo Meng because apparently there are no hard and fast rules about how to translate Chinese characters into roman ones which is annoying as hell) is probably best remembered for one of his rare villainous turns as the eponymous Kid with the Golden Arm (1979). 
Tumblr media
He is most easily distinguished from the other Venoms by his muscled physique. Dude is seriously jacked.
Tumblr media
Apparently his stage name “Mang” means clumsy or foolish in either Mandarin or Cantonese which makes a hilarious contrast to his perfectly chiseled appearance. However after seeing him in a few of his more comedic roles, it’s quickly obvious that there’s much more to Lo Mang than a six pack you could crack open at a barbecue.
Tumblr media
Lo Mang was the only one of the Venoms to have any formal kung fu training that wasn’t grounded in the Chinese opera schools. He trained in both tai chi and mantis-style kung fu. He also was the only Venom to not come from Taiwan as he was born and raised in Hong Kong making him sort of the odd man out. Hilariously, he started off in the accounting department at Shaw Brothers Studios, but quickly was noticed by producer Run Run Shaw. After playing smaller roles in a handful of Shaw pictures, he was cast as the Toad in the Five Deadly Venoms (1978), and he along with the rest of the Venoms were catapulted to stardom.
Tumblr media
I’ll admit that I simply cannot choose which of the Venoms is my absolute favorite, but I find Lo Mang incredibly likable. He can go from tough and intimidating, to exaggerated and comedic in the blink of an eye. I feel like he makes himself memorable in every role he plays. I adore his tough-as-nails-but-also-naive-to-a-fault Toad character in Five Deadly Venoms, but he’s equally endearing as a tofu seller/would-be hero in Shaolin Rescuers (1979).
Tumblr media
Look at those frickin’ dimples for fuck’s sake. He’s just too cute.
One of my favorite Lo Mang roles is Chu the Mantis practitioner in Invincible Shaolin (1978) who’s forced to eat eggs for months until he learns to do push-ups without breaking them under his hands.
Tumblr media
But my absolute favorite Lo Mang role has to be Wei Da-Ti, the blacksmith from Crippled Avengers (1978). The fact that the character cannot speak or hear, means that Lo Mang spends almost the entire film having to emote using just his face and body and quite frankly, it’s a thing of beauty...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don’t care how hammy he is, I find him just delightful. His performance in this film cracks me up no matter how many times I see it. He’s like the Harpo Marx of kung fu. 
Out of all the Venom Mob, Lo Mang has made himself the most accessible to western audiences. He’s been a guest to the Urban Action Showcase in Philadelphia on a few different occasions, and there are several translated interviews with him available on Youtube, courtesy of Celestial Pictures. He’s still active in Hong Kong entertainment, mostly sticking to television comedies these days, which doesn’t surprise me in the slightest considering what a flair he had for comedy in his Shaw Brothers days.
He also apparently still does kung fu every day, preferring that to working out in the gym. And he’s barely aged at all in the thirty years since the Five Deadly venoms, so kudos to him for that. 
Suffice to say, Lo Mang is an absolute treasure of kung fu cinema, and I’m so glad to know that he’s still around, and aware just how much his performances are loved by people to this day.

Chapter 2 of (Ice Goddess and her Icy warrior)
Who is Selviya Ivy Blanche?
She is a beautiful woman, She has long frosty-blue hair and blue-grey eyes, She has the power of Ice (Ice magic user), She was born with it, and she can manipulate it at will, She killed her parents unintentionally of course, When she did that The Ice covered their whole house and Made a tomb on her bed above her body, Covering her in a white thick sheen of ice, The people who saw this was speechless especially the firefighters and the rescuers they murmured, her parents are frozen corpses, her ice power shattered them after freezing them, she was oblivious to that until she saw her record and Aliyaa showed her that terrible memory. After that she was put into an orphanage, She was 10 back then, and A British couple Adopted her. Aran and Maria Levsloky, loved her and adored her so much, she loved them too, But wondered what happened to her real parents? She kept asking, but nobody answered her, Afraid that she wouldn’t believe them.. her adoptive parents taught her a lot of things like the Thai language their culture, and Muay Thai and Such!, when she turned 21 she got a job called a” bounty hunter”, you know helping cop by capturing a criminal or fugitive and getting paid Until one day when she was Home alone, someone knocked on her apartment and when she opened it was nobody but there was a purple music box and a letter, inside there was a beautiful diamond glows white she never knew what it called until Aliyaa told her that “crystal silvernum” She wowed at the gem it was so beautiful and breath-taking it was attached with a silver chain..,
It transported her to Virginia and she met Aliyaa and her real parents in the Virginia realm, Now Selviya was in the Lin-Kuei Training with Sub-zero they were At a draw (both won and both beat each other) She had beaten Takeda before and Cassie, Jacqui Stepped out of the way when she beat Takeda and Cassie, Kung jin tried to defeat her, but he had no luck against a train Cryomancer, Sub-zero could not anymore proud, After She had beaten a lot of the Shirai-Ryu and also 1 Special force and one shaolin, He clapped for her, The grandmaster of the Shirai-ryu was greatly pissed at Takeda for losing against a “cryomancer” she excitedly yell,
“Send more!!” She yelled excitedly, while clenching both of her fists together, Aliyaa had enough of this mockery. So she added blatantly
“Alright, that’s enough..” Aliyaa said.
“Use The left of your energy against the criminal, not un-trained trainee,” She added while crossing her arms. Hanzo fumes a bit when she slightly insults his Shirai-ryu trainees, he does not like it when Someone underestimates his clan and trainees.
“They are not untrained trainees!!” Hanzo yelled in frustration.. Aliyaa stares at him, Fixing her Dark reminiscent gaze at him then remarked back to him by
“Are you telling me those trainees are well trained? I fail to see so!” She scoffed at him, Which earned her a giggle from Selviya and Scylla. Selviya then left for the garden for meditation, She did not want to hear Aliyaa and Hanzo bickering at each other. Sub-zero followed her, He also did not want to hear them bickering at each other. Although it rarely happens.
“Selviya, Come I want to tell you something,” Subzero Uttered to her, Holding her hand gently and kissing it after.
“Yes?” She responded, then came closer to him. He comes closer to fill the space between them,
“I want to show you this..” He removed a strand of her hair which was covering her eyes, carefully tossed it behind her ears, Then cupped both of her cheeks and pulled her into a kiss, and she kissed back, After they kissed Kuai Liang muttered to her
“My Ice Goddess.” He muttered lovingly to her.

Who are the “Venoms Mob?”
Well, first things first: if you go to China and talk about the 5 Venoms, or the Venoms Mob, they’ll have absolutely no idea who you’re talking about there, because that’s a fandom-term among US Kung Fu cult movie fans.
Tumblr media
In Hong Kong, the Venoms are known as director Chang Cheh’s Weapons Expert Troupe, a group of five lifelong friends, martial artists, bodybuilders, exotic weapons experts, and trained acrobats who did at least a dozen movies for manly man Kung Fu director Chang Cheh in the 1970s and 1980s. They were the real deal: they usually choreographed their own fight scenes, which often involved flips and crazy stunts due to their acrobat training, high-wire acts, and unusual and exotic weaponry not typically seen even in martial arts movies. It’s like every single one of them drank the Captain America potion. Their films tended to end in heroic sacrifices, and the Venoms, for all their athleticism and daring, tended to be identifiable people on the bottom end of the societal ladder: homeless drifters, refugees, itinerant hobos, traveling performers, or restaurant workers.
Tumblr media
The Venoms were stars in the US, particularly among the black community who love Chinese martial arts movies, not just because of their truly breathtaking skill and choreography, but because they are how most people feel they are, secretly, deep down: rams among sheep. They are the poor, downtrodden, or average person who decides “not to take it anymore” after untold indignities. This is also why the Venoms are especially important to the black community. In fact, if you want to know how much the Venoms mean to their fans, just go up to nearly any Black Dad over 45+ and ask about the “5 Venoms.” 
Tumblr media
Chang Cheh, Director of the Venoms
The best way to describe the director and writer of the Venoms films, Chang Cheh is that he is basically Mac from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia if he decided to make Gladiator and loved Sergio Leone and Kurasawa.
Tumblr media
The director and writer of the Venoms movies, and maybe the most significant name in the history of Kung Fu cinema apart from Bruce Lee, Chang Cheh was towering enough that Quentin Tarantino dedicated Kill Bill Part 2 to Chang Cheh in the closing credits. It would not be inaccurate to say he invented the Kung Fu movie as we know it, with its training montages, mentor-student relationships, all cut with themes of vengeance, noble self-sacrifice, and rebellion of poor and ordinary people against unjust authority.
Chang Cheh’s life story is fascinating. His father was a warlord during the Republican Era between the World Wars, which must have made for an interesting school career day. He started as a film critic and became a screenwriter, then from being a screenwriter, became a director. I wonder if that is the reason that Chang Cheh was so fascinated by themes of masculinity and male bonding, as the arty, openly gay movie critic son of a central Asian warlord had a nearly impossible standard of masculinity to live up to.
Tumblr media
The two Western movies that are, thematically, the closest to Chang Cheh are Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan, and if you like both of those movies, you’ll probably like him. His heroes are often James Dean-like angry young men, poor and at the outskirts of society. His movies tend to end in heroic self-sacrifice for a noble cause, and tend to have themes of vengeance, arty blood red slaughter, and a distrust of authority and government of any kind. He loves bloodshed and thinks violence is beautiful; an image that comes up often is someone in an all white outfit that gets covered in blood, an arty view of violence similar to his two biggest influences, Sergio Leone and Kurosawa. Like the Shawshank Redemption, Chang Cheh movies are essentially ensemble pieces about the friendships and close comradely bonds of brotherhood between men. Very few women of any kind have extensive speaking parts in his movies.
Tumblr media
Another movie that also summarizes Chang Cheh would be 300. Remember that Sarah Silverman bit where she said that “300 is the answer to the question, how gay is this movie on a scale of 1 to 10?” Not just because it is about an entirely male cast, or about finding fulfillment in noble self-sacrifice and heroism Alamo-style against desperate odds, but also because it’s about glorifying the male body, with tons of abs and pecs. I suppose I should mention here that Chang Cheh’s movies are profoundly homoerotic, and discussion of their homoeroticism is the major way film academics talk about these movies. How many scenes in Cheh’s movies are about dudes hanging out with their shirts off, flexing their muscles? Or about “brothers” who clasp each other on the shoulder while looking longingly into each other’s eyes in a shot-reverse shot? The only meaningful relationship in his movies are male ones. I dislike passing on cheap gossip, but by all accounts it’s actually an open secret in the Hong Kong film industry that Chang Cheh was homosexual and lived with other men. 
Tumblr media
Yi Kuang -Screenwriter of the Venoms
The screenwriter of nearly all the Venoms movies, much like Chang Cheh, Yi Kuang had an interesting life. He was a Communist Party officer who went to Inner Mongolia, where his primary job was writing death sentences for landlords. Once idealistic, he left disillusioned with the Chinese Communist Party, and a remained a die-hard anticommunist. Evil bureaucrats tend to show up in his stories often for that reason, and a common theme of his scripts is the anger of ordinary people against distant, unapproachable authorities. There’s no understanding Venoms films without their screenwriter. Chang Cheh started as a screenwriter and wrote his movies, but Yi Kuang was his most frequent partner.
Tumblr media
Interestingly, Yi Kuang got famous long after for writing a series of supernatural and horror novels called the Mr. Wisely books, where a traditional Chinese medicine expert fights for sites of power charged with Feng Shui. It’s interesting to see his turn to the supernatural, sorcery, and ghosts as an overreaction to his distaste for Marxist materialism. Of all the Venoms films, the one that shows his influence the strongest was the one the Venoms fight an evil human sacrifice devil cult, Masked Avengers. 
The Hero – Kuo Chui
Tumblr media
A guy with a big smile and a body carved out of marble, Kuo Chui started as a circus acrobat before becoming a stuntman and then a leading actor. He was the Venom with the strongest and most natural screen presence, the one that was the most “movie star.” In fact, he was almost always the hero and central character of Venoms movies, usually playing the most levelheaded and strategic minded of the group.
Kuo Chui deserves some credit also for being the one Venom to actually direct a movie himself, Ninja in the Deadly Trap. This sounds like a heck of a leap, but in Hong Kong, nearly all choreographers also direct their fight scenes. It’s no surprise that a common career path in Hong Kong cinema is to go from choreographer to director (see also Chang Cheh’s ex-choreographers, Tang Chia and 36 Chambers director Liu Chia Liang)
 The Bad Guy – Lu Feng
Tumblr media
Every single movie, Lu Feng was the heel, the bad guy. I mean, heck, in Shaolin Rescuers, he even played the evil apprentice of the supreme supervillain of the martial arts, Pai Mei! But no matter what, Lu Feng was just so cool that you couldn’t help but root for him just a little bit. He was a character type common in pro wrestling: the arrogant “cool heel,” like Rick Flair and the Horsemen. 
Tumblr media
The Venoms tended to be workaday regular poor guys, but Lu Feng usually played a rich guy who oozed arrogance and menace, rather like the evil rich football player heel in college movies. 
 The Funny Guy – Chiang Sheng
Tumblr media
A guy who usually played the funny young hero or a wisecracking comedy sidekick prone to wiseassery and pratfalls, Chiang Peng was the Venom who most benefited from the rise of Jackie Chan, and his introduction of silent film era inspired physical comedy into the otherwise stale Kung Fu film. Like Robin Williams, Chiang Shiang was someone who made everyone else laugh, but because he had a lot of darkness inside him, which ended up killing him. Chiang Sheng is the only Venom to not be with us, he drank himself to death after his divorce in 1991. Because of this, there can never really be a full Venoms reunion.
Tumblr media
One of the most amazing things about Hong Kong cinema in the 70s is that the actors tended to have scraggly teeth that aren’t perfect and that seemed to be Chang Shieng’s defining trait. To be clear, I am not in any way mocking him for having bad teeth. In fact, I think it is rather winsome and endearing, like a teenager with braces.
 The Tough Guy – Lo Meng
Tumblr media
Known as the “Shaolin Hercules,” the person I’d compare Lo Meng to is Mr. Worf. Ultra-strong, humorless, intimidating, dead serious and never smiling, he was by far the most muscular and powerful of the Venoms, with tons of machismo and swagger, “big dick energy” as the kids say today. The camera tends to linger on his oiled up biceps and chest in extreme close-up…but was also, usually, the first to die in nearly all of these films. Much like how Worf was the toughest guy ever, but usually got beat up a lot so the writers could show that the situation was serious. In fact, Lo Meng, still in great shape, was in Ip Man 4, where, not one to break with a tradition, he was the first guy to get his ass beat in the film, even in a movie made in the Year of Our Lord 2020.
Tumblr media
Lo Meng tends to be the “backup main hero” and was even the main character in films like 2 Champions of Shaolin. He had the most impressive “solo” film career apart from the other Venoms. Like Geri Halliwell, he left the Venoms to do his own thing, which is why the defining trait of the later Venom films is that he wasn’t there. 
Lo Meng wasn’t Taiwanese like the other Venoms, and was a native of Hong Kong. In fact, he got his start in the film industry not as a stuntman or muscleman, but as an accountant for the Shaw Brothers studios, and he lifted weights and did Praying Mantis Kung Fu as a hobby. That’s…that’s hilarious. Reminds me of that fake Simpsons movie, Undercover Nerd with Renier Wolfcastle:
Tumblr media
 The Wild Card – Chun Shieng
Would YOU trust this man? I wouldn’t. He betrayed the Toad!
Tumblr media
That’s Chun Shieng for you, the wild card Venom who could “go either way” and so wasn’t an entirely trustworthy ally.
Allow me to correct a misconception I’ve seen in a lot of places: Chun is sometimes known as “the one Korean Venom.” He isn’t Korean but Chinese, but he was trained in Korea and is a Tae Kwon Do expert, unlike the other Venoms, who studied Chinese Kung Fu and Peking Opera. And it certainly shows: he always fights with a kick-heavy Tae Kwon Do style that does not look much like any Kung Fu at all.

The Venoms all have really pretty smiles! I just love when they smile in their films and also in photos! It is neat how their smiles are all so different, but light up the screen.
To me, Lu Feng has one that really starts in his cheeks and then moves up to his eyes. It is very bright and exuberant. Charm practically oozes from it. Wei Pai has one that either has no teeth or he gets very toothy with it. His is gentle and displays nothing but happiness and sweetness. Sun Chien's tends to be very enthusiastic. His eyes certainly crinkle up to display true happiness. A lot of times, his eyes will twinkle in a beautiful way. Kuo Chui's smile can be described as broad and beaming since it takes up his whole face typically. He always looks so cheerful and you can see the indents in his cheeks. Lo Mang has one that I feel is dazzling because he seems to shine whenever he grins. Honestly, it does not even have to be that wide to really hit you since it's naturally vibrant. Lastly, Chaing Sheng has always had a smile that is very infectious. He is just so adorable with such a sweet look on his face whenever he flashes it at someone or something. You can tell that he was jovial, or at least that is how I feel.

Was Sun Jian really on the plum blossom poles?
Yes, he was!
Sun Chien is, as stated before, a taekwondo master. Obviously, this mastery of skill translates into a mastery of one's balance and feet placement -- both things that are exemplified on the plum blossom poles! In the clips where you can see him running across the poles and performing martial arts atop them, he really is doing that stuntwork.
Sun Chien can be seen on the plum blossom poles in both Shaolin Rescuers (1979) and Ten Tigers of Kwangtung (1979), but right now I'll just be using examples from Shaolin Rescuers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can see here very clearly that those are his feet actually making contact with those poles. And since this was Chinese cinema in the 70s, their special effects weren't yet advanced enough to fake these visuals. However, just because Sun Chien was capable of these stunts, that's not to say that all of his coworkers were. There are a few times in these movies where his character and another have a fight atop the poles, and with smart editing and quick cuts, and very deliberately not showing their feet, they shot the fights on the ground but made it look like they were both still on the poles.
Tumblr media
Ku Kuan-Chung is a magnificent actor, but I don't think he would have been able to do fight choreography while atop the plum blossom poles. On the other hand, I do think Sun Chien could. And in fact, he does! It really depends on the martial arts capabilities of his partner. Where Ku Kuan-Chung was unable to film atop the poles with him, Lau Fong-Sai was able.
Tumblr media
Now, the choreography here isn't that complicated, and Sun Chien is the only one who's actually moving around on the poles. But the fact that their feet are visible in this shot implies that Lau Fong-Sai had the ability to keep his balance while fighting, and Ku Kuan-Chung couldn't.
Anyway, this is a long winded post to say and to show that Sun Chien really was doing his stunt work on the plum blossom poles.
