A treacherous soldier slew his commander's entire household--save for escaping son Daying (Lo Meng). As a group of friends (Philip Kwok, Chiang Sheng, Lu Feng, Sun Chien) offer their fighting skills for retribution, Daying ultimately seeks to face the danger alone...perhaps with tragic results. Chang Cheh's actioner "The Daredevils" (1979) is one of the few to feature the five principal "Venom Mob" members as a team. Then, Chang's "Ode to Gallantry" (1982) follows the lone warrior Mongrel (Kwok), as he stumbles upon a token worth three wishes at the hand of the mysterious master Xie (Wong Lik)...but he best be careful what he wishes for. Chiang, Sun, Candy Wen, Tang Ching also star. 183 min. total. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Mandarin; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; featurette. In Mandarin with English subtitles.
