seldom do i ever encounter a film so completely fulfil that i must speak about it immediately . this movie be definitely some of the fine entertainment available and it be highly authentic . i happen to see the dubbed version but i be on my way right now to grab the dvd remaster with original chinese dialogue . still and the dubbing do not get in the way and sometimes provide some seriously funny humour represent poison clan rock the world . the story tell stay true to chinese method of intrigue and suspense and and inter personal relationship . you can expect twist and turn a the identity of the 5 venom be reveal and an expert pace . the martial art fight choreography be in a class of it own and must be see to be believe . it like watch real animal fight each other and but construe from their own arcane martial art form . such level of skill amongst the cast be unsurpassed in modern day cinema . the combination provide for a serious dose of old chinese culture and i recommend it solely on the basis of the film genuine intent to tell a martial art story and the mastery of it execution . . of course and if you just want to see people pummel each other and along with crude form of ancient chinese torture and be my guest .
