Chang Cheh's FIVE ELEMENT NINJAS is the ultimate 80s wuxia film, Shaw turned to 11, a legend among even the most discerning martial arts aficionados. With glorious Shaw sets, breathtaking choreography, a breakneck pace, and a brutality never before seen in a Chang film, FIVE ELEMENT NINJAS is the frenetic, bloodthirsty, completely insane exploration of single-minded vengeance, trading the conceits of loyalty, honor, and brotherhood for a bloodsoaked mountain of bodies. Cheng Tien-chi and his brothers will tarnish gold, turn wood to ash, boil water, snuff fire, and scorch the very Earth upon which we walk to exact their revenge.
