Rating: 4 out of 5		Starring: Lo Lieh, Ku Feng, Yueh Hua Directed: Chu Yuan Release Date: 1976 Run Time: 87 Minutes Format: Blu-Ray Audio: Eng / Subtitles:  Eng Distributor: Well Go USA

It s back to the Shaolin Monastery for one of the most unusual action-packed tales to invade its hallowed halls. Lo Lieh is the ringleader of the Snake Sect, intent on reviving a deadly faction known as the Five Poison Web .
In order to do so, he has an affair with the sexy ringleader of the Scorpion Sect, Angela Yu Chien. However, there is also the Centipede Sect to contend with, as well as other assorted martial artists, among them played by Shaw Brothers talents Yueh Hua, Ching Li, and Lily Li.
Under the direction of Chu Yuan and action choreographers Tang Chia and Yuen Cheung-yan, The Web Of Death goes places where no other Shaolin kung-fu movie has gone before.

This is a film made by the Shaw Brothers and its all about power and one clan has the most powerful weapon that can’t be beat…or can it. Fight scenes well they are just like most of the Shaw Brothers films with a little more mysticism.

Filled with a few twists and turns and sword fights. If you don’t mind wuxa films and like Lo Lieh this is a film for you. The picture quality is good for standard def DVD but also is available in Blu-Ray. It gets mixed reviews..I’m on the positive side

I gave this film a rating of

4 out of 5
