Five Deadly Venoms (1978)

The only reason I can see that anybody should watch this feature, is to find the source of all the parodies that this has created over the years. Everything here, from the acting to the staging, the set design and even the way its lit, everything conspires to make this feel like you should not be taking it seriously.

Meanwhile, the story itself putters along in the background being completely inconsequential to the film as a whole. The conceit is there just to get these great fighters together, but when they do, even the epic fight sequences feel lacklustre in execution.
