    I watched this with my 7 year old. She laughed that the blood looked like paint and then spent the rest of the night talking like she was dubbed in English.

    Recommend, for sure.

    Five Element Ninjas, a Chang Cheh gorefest in the 5 Venoms' style (Lo Meng co-stars and get the DVD's only meaningful featurette - a present day interview). The film is low on plot and high on fights, as a Chinese martial arts alliance is massacred by an order of ninjas who based their tricks on various elements. It's up to the lone survivor to learn new tricks and avenge his school. It's a little silly, more than a little homoerotic, and incredibly bloody (in that orange kind of way). In short, a great showcase of classic martial arts pictures made by Shaw Brothers studios in the 70s. Recommended with a big side of popcorn. 7 years ago

    One of my favourite SB films. A gory masterpiece from Chang Cheh. 10 years 10 months ago
