This movie has everything: a multitude of weapons utilized in brilliantly choreographed scenes, great hand-to-hand combat, breathtaking acrobatics; all the physical qualities one associates with the Venoms are here.

And while the plot does evolve into one of revenge, it has much more meat to it than the standard "you killed my teacher, now I'm going to kill you" fare.

Lu Feng is at his sleazy, scheming best as the villian in this film, and he has the kung fu skills to back up his evil machinations. And unlike most Venoms films, all of them play major roles, including Sun Chien who is often inexplicably in the background in many Venoms films. His increased presence makes for some great kicking action. And though there is quite a bit of bloody violence, as usual with the Venoms, there are also some funny, lighthearted comedic moments that help to flesh out the characters and make them more than just two-dimensional killing machines.

This film is an absolute must-have for all old-school fans; it is one of the best ever. Highly recommended.

This entry tells about a young kung fu master (Lu Feng), the sole heir to his wealthy family's flourishing security escort services, who begins to take the wrong turns for the sake of keeping his declining escort businesses run. With the advance of guns, Lu Feng's services that rely on skilled fighters are losing their competition.

Added to this, Lu Feng's haunting paranoia of losing his fame as the much revered Golden Spear has him conduct deadly duels with other fighters in his courtyard, only to have them killed brutally.

To maintain his declining services, he plans to take over, by any means, a land owned by another of his late father's business competitor whose son happens to be a good martial artist (Lo Meng). Lo Meng refuses to sell so Lu Feng resorts to trickery by luring four skilled fighters and ruffians, too (Kwo Chui, Chiang Sen, Sun Chien and Wang Li) to get rid of Lo Meng.

The four ruffians fight against Lo Meng but they eventually befriend each other after knowing Lo Meng's side of story. The five then often meet to spar in an abandoned temple.

Realizing his plan has failed, Lu Feng has Kwo Chui framed by having his wooden pole he uses to spar with Lo Meng filled with dynamite that explodes and kills the latter.

The plot moves fast from this point and reaches the climax when two of the remaining ruffians battle the evil golden spear in a duel to the death.

There are some cool movements made by the Golden Spear as he attacks the opponents.

This one is surely not to be missed!
