Five Deadly Venoms

Synopsis: A dying teacher instructs his final student to check on the activities of five former pupils, each of whom he taught a unique and special style of kung-fu: Centipede, Snake, Scorpion, Lizard, and Toad (hence the title). His final student, who knows a little of each style, must team up with one of the other good students to destroy the evil ones, if there are any. Greed and treachery ensue as the student discovers that some of the students are indeed evil, but which one can he trust enough to team up with?

Medicine. Hurry up!

Medicine!

Master

For all these years,

I've been trying to save myself

Now I think I can't make it

Yang De

You've been studying for 3 years.

You know

I'm the head of the Five Venoms House

Yes

It is a well known enemy

of the martial arts world

We live here quietly

Over here we may talk about

the House openly

But when you enter the boxer's world

A mere mention of the name of the House

...is likely to put you in great danger

Why?

We didn't do anything wrong

Did we?

You don't understand

Before you came here,

the House had accepted 5 students

at different times

I have 5 seniors?

What are their names?

Where are they?

When our student leaves here,

the first thing to do

is to have a new name

They must keep...

their backgrounds as secret as possible

These 5 students of mine

some of them didn't know each other

You learned part of the...

martial arts as they had learned here

But your skills

aren't sophisticated enough

I won't live any longer

After you learn their skills

I want you to do something for me

First I will let you know in detail

...the skills I've taught them

These are the art of the House

It used to be the training room

You have five seniors

I will start with the eldest one

He's Zhang Yiaotian

He's practicing the Centipede Style

His nickname is "Thousand Hands"

He is well-known for his quick moves

It's like he's having thousands of hands

The second one is called Qi Dong

He's practicing the Snake style

He's nicknamed, "Snake Spirit Dude"

The right is the head of the snake,

on the left the tail

He's famous for his responsive moves,

fast just like a snake

The third one is called Gao Ji

He's practicing the Scorpion style

In this style,

the hand moves like a cutter

the feet like a scorpion's tail

I accepted him later than them

The eldest and the second

didn't know each other

Before them,

I took in your fourth and fifth seniors

The fourth one is called Meng Tianxia

He's older than the second and third one

He's learning the Gecko style

He's trained to have a light body

and strong legs

So he could crawl with ease

He also made use of the rebound force

...to enhance his own power

Your fifth senior Liang Shen

He's practicing the Toad style

Meng and Liang didn't meet

the other seniors as well

The Toad Work at its full strength

can resist the attack of

swords and spears

It can break hard objects too

You came here for a very short time

I made a mistake

to teach you all these skills

As such,

you're not good at any one of them

If you were to fight against

any of your seniors

You're no match for them

I don't have time

left to teach you further

You've got to combine your own skills

...with any work of the House

Then you may take on any of them

Our Five Venoms House

has done many bad things

I don't know

if your seniors behave themselves

...in the boxer's world outside

It's my decision to abort

the Five Venoms House

Now the responsibility is yours

Master, I...

You're to finish them for me

You'll leave here tomorrow

...to locate the 5 of them

and keep an eye on their behavior

You may leave, the one who...

behaves well, alone

and take on the one who doesn't

Master

It's a big, big world outside of people

They've changed their name already

Besides,

unless it reaches a very critical moment,

we won't reveal our skills

Master

You must do it for me

I promise you I'll

I know it's a difficult task

If they discover your background,

you'll be in great danger

Master

My safety isn't important

Where should I go?

There's one more disciple of our House

He happens to be my junior classmate

But he had retired from the boxer's world

He still possesses

some precious treasures

They're the ill-gotten gains of the House

He leads a quiet life in a small town

At present

I just know the name of the town

but not exactly his name or identity

You find him and ask him...

to donate the treasure for charity

My intuition tells me

the treasure is the source of disasters

I think the 5 senior schoolmates of yours

...are trying to look for it

How skillful is he as a boxer?

He's no match for your seniors

Mr. He

Mr. He

Yuanxin, you're a policeman

You better behave yourself

You shouldn't eat irresponsibly

lt'll be greatly appreciated

...if you give me face

I've always owed you many a favour

Yuanxin, don't ruin your reputation

because of petty gains

Please spare me goodness

next time when Mr. Ma isn't around

Ma is a disciplined man

I can't take advantage because of him

No kidding, Mr. He

What is it?

The habitual gambler lost money to me

Screw you

Master

Who were the two men?

Well, they're Mr. He

...and Mr. Ma

They're the officers of the court

Mr. He is very kind

and willing to help

If I want to find someone

I'm the right person to ask

I've been living here for 60 years

I know not only the people,

but also the dogs and cats

The person I'm looking for

is about 60 years old

He should be a wealthy man,

a good fighter

and...

No idea, right?

You're bluffing

Wake up

Who is the banker? I'm making a bet

Yuanxin

We're civil servants

We ought to present good ideals

Gambling isn't allowed.

Let's have a drink

Okay, He is the boss

Bullshit

What are you doing here?

Go...

I'm just looking outside,

can't I?

Damn you...

Get lost

Don't look down on him

Come in. What do you want?

He...

Please

I'm sorry

I'm expecting someone

Suit yourself

Okay

What do you want?

I want this, this and this

Mr. He

It's you!

Waiter

Bring me nothing but a bottle of wine

It's a good idea

It's easier for a civil servant

...to look for someone

There are more chances to find him

It's been a year

We've been making a thorough search

for all the families

There's still no clue

Master could be wrong

What about you?

Do you know

where the other 3 seniors are?

I don't know

If they know

master's schoolmate is here,

it's possible they would have come

Very likely

Because of this,

master wanted us to find him first

and ask him to donate the treasure

so that the source of disaster

can be wiped out

You shouldn't be that mean and selfish

The students of Five Venoms House

dare not reveal their backgrounds

Let's go

Yes

Senior

Qidong, you are good

If I hadn't heard the news...

I'd have assumed that you've already

...taken the treasure

So the news confirmed...

he's living in this town

Who?

You'd never have imagined this. It's...

Sir, still not going home?

I've not finished my work

So I have to try harder

What takes you so long to open the door?

Respected Sirs

I'm just a poor scholar

There's no money in my house

Please leave me alone

Uncle, stop pretending

No one will expect you would work

as a book-keeper in a government office

You must be the Snake

Usually you never used a sword

Okay. You're the Thousand Hands

You're no longer the member of the House

Hand in the treasure

We want only the treasure

...but not your life
