The original trivia was from trackhazard regarding the Kung Fu classic "The Five Deadly Venoms" here:

OK here's harder question for you all. Which of the 5 venoms also starred in "The Chinatown Kid" directed by Chang Cheh and starring the late Alexander Fu Sheng set in San Francisco's Chinatown.

BTW who remembers this movie? Wasn't it great.

Centipede, Student, Scorpion, Toad. ?

Sun...Chien....

Because Phillip Wok was the White Dragon Boss in "Chinatown Kid" and not part of the five Venoms

 

[epicfish]

The Five Deadly Venoms
Philip Kwok ... Gecko/Lizard
Chien Sun ... Scorpion

The Chinatown Kid
Chien Sun ... Yang Ching-Wen
Philip Kwok ... White Dragon Boss

So, who's right? =P

edit: Seems as if Wikipedia says Philip Kwok wasn't in "The Five Deadly Venoms", but IMDB says he was. Interesting... :icon_eek:

Kuo Chui - aka Philip Kwok per the link on Wikipedia

So far no one got it right but the closest is Warmaster259 so i guess he gets it. He was missing only the Lizard/Kuo Chui.

Welcome to PTF!

?

He just named all the five venoms....except the correct one (as far as I can tell).

 

[epicfish]

? indeed.

I think hooha should get it! Hehe.

OK maybe I should be a little more thorough.

The lizard was the White Dragon Boss in CTK.
The toad was the Green Dragon/Tiger Boss CTK.
The Scorpion was the college student in CTK.
The Student and Centipede were thugs and had small parts in CTK.

The only character from the 5 Venoms that was not in the CTK was the Snake.

When was the last time you saw the CTK?

 

[hooha]

I haven't, only TFDV. I just wanted to know the answer Thanks! I was thrown off thinking it was only one of them....

The Shaw brothers movie that sticks in my head is The Kid with the Golden Arm. My brothers and I saw that when we were little, that's ingrained in our heads as the prototypical kung fu movie. Gotta love the death scenes - profound statement, then wriggling on the ground for 5 seconds, then quite dead :icon_cool
