The leader of the Snake Sect has an affair with the sexy ringleader of the Scorpion Sect to revive the "Five Poison Web" (which is also this film's Chinese title). But there is also the Centipede Sect to contend with. Under the fluid direction of Chu Yuan and action choreographers Tang Chia and Yuen Cheung-yan (member of the martial art world's esteemed Yuan Family and brother of Matrix master Yuen Woo-ping), the result is a first class action film.
