Zhang Che's films always have an upright spirit, unlike Chu Yuan who attracts the audience through the suspense of the story. Zhang Che leads the film with his aura and is known to be masculine and beautiful. The stories of Zhang Che's films are often simpler, focusing on showing body and movement. Chu Yuan's movements were more elegant, while Zhang Che's movements were extremely rigid. It's not as brilliant as the current actions, each move is rigorous and natural and believable. His colleague Chu Yuan commented on Zhang Che: "He is a poet, but he can never tell stories well."

This film is similar to most of Zhang Che's films, that is, the purpose is very clear. Unlike some films, the monk Zhang Er is confused and confused. Mr. Zhang Che likes to open the sect, and he tells the film about the tasks to be completed at the beginning of the article, such as the joint cleanup of the missing persons in this film. The story of this film is relatively exciting. There are both fighting with the same door and colluding with officials and bandits. It also leaves room for the audience to figure out, such as who is the third child in the film. Of course, this suspenseful design is compared to Chuyuan's film. It's relatively low-level, but it's an improvement for Zhang Che. In addition, the self-awakening of the second child's human nature described in the film is also a bright spot, and the flat characters become rounded. The death of the fifth in the film, the justice of the fifth representative is destroyed, glowing with shocking tragic power.

As for the actions in this film, they should be superb, admiring the genius and imagination of the people of Hong Kong: a hundred feet and a thousand hands, a spirit snake, and so on. And it can be displayed well through the lens language.

    This film is one of the few masterpieces by Zhang Che, who has passed his peak, and is inspired by the folk legend of the Five Poisons. The biggest feature of the film is that the identities of the five poisons are kept secret until the end, and the tragic and desolate cannibalism of the same family is shown little by little in the absence of any eyebrows. In addition to the viciousness and weirdness of the action design, what is even more chilling is that it shows the weak human feelings of the official society. In the face of the darkness of the system, the vicious martial arts and human nature are insignificant.

    The movie is generally good. The open and secret battles between masters and apprentices under the Five Poison Sect are especially exciting. The third brother is the most insidious, watching the situation secretly, the eldest disciple and the second brother are brave, but the second disciple can finally wake up, but it is too late. Watching the five poisons is like watching the vicissitudes of the world, but there may be some mishandling at the end. There was an infighting, but it still returned to the main theme, and how can the eldest disciple die of the smart third child first, if you give Zhang Che another 20 minutes , this movie will have more depth, rather than simply eating black and white and eating white.
