The Venom Mob

A group of five friends, actors and stuntmen all, who, after spending years in small supporting roles for the studio, became stars together in the wake of Chang Cheh’s Five Deadly Venoms. The Mob were Philip Kwok, Chiang Sheng, Lo Meng, Lu Feng, and Sun Chien, though some other actors were considered sort of honorary Venoms. Also, they frequently worked with Fu Sheng, though he was never a member of the Mob himself. Following is a list of the movies starring all or most of the Venoms that I’ve covered in this series:

Life Gamble (1979). Without Sun Chien.
The Flag Of Iron (1980). Without Sun Chien and Lo Meng.
The Sword Stained With Royal Blood (1981). Without Sun Chien and Lo Meng.
