In one of his early contemporary martial arts actioners, Fu Sheng teams up with director extraordinaire Chang Cheh in Chinatown Kid to battle the Five Venoms before they poisoned themselves into cult status. Although Chang was chastised for using San Francisco stock shots to make it seem like it was filmed in America, to Chinatown Kid's credit, the incredibly violent fights are immensely satisfying as man on the run Tan Tung (Fu Sheng) one by one defeats each triad gang related venom while succumbing to the seductive powers of the ultra-sexy Shirley Yu only to realize that, in typical Chang Cheh style, materialism and heroism leads to nihilistic desecration.
