The Web of Death

It's back to the Shaolin Monastery for one of the most unusual action-packed tales to invade its hallowed halls. Lo Lieh is the ringleader of the Snake Sect, intent on reviving a particularly deadly faction known as the 'Five Poison Web' (which is also "The Web Of Death"'s Chinese title). To achieve his ends, he has an affair with the sexy ringleader of the Scorpion Sect, Angela Yu Chien. But there is also the Centipede Sect to contend with, as well as other assorted martial artists, among them such top Shaw Brother's talents as Yueh Hua, Ching Li, and Lily Li. Under the fluid direction of Chu Yuan and action choreographers Tang Chia and Yuen Cheung-yan (member of the martial art's world's esteemed Yuen Family and brother of "The Matrix" master Yuen Woo-ping), "The Web of Death" goes places where no other Shaolin kung-fu movie has gone before or since.
