      Top 50 cult movies selected by American Entertainment Weekly, ranked 11th among the five poisons

      The American "Entertainment Weekly" magazine on May 23, 2003 listed the Top 50 cult movies. At that time, the definition of cult movies was still niche movies with enthusiastic fans. Although most of the movies on the list were cult movies in this sense, movies such as "Shawshank's Redemption" were advertised and promoted online. Has long become one of the most popular films in popular movies. "Blade Runner" has also left the period considered a cult film, and has even been...

      Five Poisons-a suspenseful film (old work)

      The name of "Five Poisons" has long been heard. In recent years, Quentin's popularity has been added from the side. Coupled with the title of the world's 11th weird movie given by "Entertainment Weekly" in the United States, it seems that this is Zhang Che. The works in the middle and later stages add reasons for expectation.

      Going back to the film itself, Zhang Che, who failed to start Longbow Films in Taiwan and returned to the Shao style, has been quite different from the previous...

      A brief explanation of the five poisons text layer

      Wudu, as a leader in the Shaw Brothers movie, has many elements worth mentioning, so let’s talk about the textual layer of the movie.

      The title of the film is Five Poisons. The plot of the film is about five disciples of different shapes, disparate temperaments, and unique skills. They compete for the treasures taken by the uncle. However, as everyone knows, there are five of the four heavenly kings. At the beginning of the story, the dying master brought a...

      Five poisons and non-toxic

      Watching this movie at first glance is quite expectant. After all, it is related to drugs, there are intrigues and intrigues, just like the battle of wits between Zhao Wuji and Tang Sect masters in Gu Long's "White Jade Tiger". But when you look at it, you know that it has nothing to do with poison. The Five Poisons are a bit tangible. Seeing a snake reminds me of Jackie Chan’s "Snake-Shaped Hand". Practicing hard work. Generally speaking, it’s okay. The plot is the same kind of imprecise...

      Five kinds of people, five kinds of poison, and distinctive character traits, which are much stronger than the so-called blockbuster movies in recent years.

      American "Entertainment Weekly" movie Five Poisons, rated as the 11th most bizarre movie of the year,

      but
      I don’t have that connotation, and I don’t deliberately experience the alternatives to claim how different I am. I just want to talk about the characters in this movie. The character characteristics are very vivid. And some highlights

      1-the big brother Thousand-Handed Centipede (a typical reckless strongman, but a runaway suit)

      Zhang Che's strength is not only a variety of slightly heavy tastes, but also the super-avant-garde consciousness of that era. This film is also Quentin's love and...

      11th on Entertainment Weekly's list of the 50 most cult movies of all time. The first half looks drowsy, and the killing method that appears in the second half is the real cult! In addition to Zhang Che's tomato juice and the camera's fascination with the strong male body, the martial arts movements are also clearly explained. Most of the current action scenes are really made by one random...

      Another pure man movie. ....

      One of Zhang Che's more special works, aside from martial arts, is more like a cult film. The ten thousand needle clothes, throat slits, brain needles, and even the methods of suffocating people with wet paper look very emotional on the big screen. The theme of punishing evil and promoting good is less exciting in this...

    Movie quotes

    • Judge: You've ten days to solve this or else you'll be whipped. For every extra day, there's one extra stoke.

    • Chi Tung, Snake: [looking intently at Ma Chow] I didn't expect three.

    • [last lines]

      Yang Tieh: That damn judge ought to pay as well!

      He Yuan-xin, Gecko: All judges are the same. If we kill him, the next one may be worse, and we can't kill them all. We'd better carry out Teacher's orders: find the money and use it well - try to atone for the clan's crimes.

      Yang Tieh: Pay its debts?

      He Yuan-xin, Gecko: Yes, you're right!
