The Savage Five Synopsis
A pacifist village is beset by bandits in this martial arts thriller. "Savage Five" hands-down rivals the ornateness of "Kid With The Golden Arm" and the twist-heavy "Five Deadly Venoms". The always great David Chiang plays a lesser version of his Rover character from "Duel Of The Iron Fist", and Ti Lung, looking incredible here, is at his physical best. Accolades to Chen Kuan Tai and Wang Chung in great sympathetic roles, too. A kung fu classic where the actual martial arts display takes a back seat to the mesmerizing story.
The Savage Five (1974) is a action film directed by Chang Cheh, released on February 15, 1974 with a runtime of 1h 36m. It stars David Chiang Da-Wei, Ti Lung, Chen Kuan-Tai and Danny Lee Sau-Yin. Viewers rate it 6.4 out of 10 across 14 ratings.
