Summary: The kid with the golden arm and his thugs try to steal some gold
Another great kung fu classic from Chang Cheh. Most of the "venoms" are casted. An unconventional movie for it's time as the hero, Agent Hai To is a drunk and the character of Mr. Li who dresses like and to an extent acts like a hero ends up easily killed by the title character villain. Of course all of the villains have nicknames relating to their gimmicks- Iron Feet, Iron Robe, Silver Spear. If you like old Shaw Brothers' films and haven't seen this chances are you're going to like it. 8/10
