Five Deadly Venoms has, arguably, the greatest cult following of any Hong Kong actioner. The cast members are known collectively as ‘The Venoms Mob’, and Lo Sifu was a key member of the team. A practitioner of Southern style Praying Mantis kung fu, Lo began his film career as a bodyguard to the legendary Shaw Bros director Chang Cheh. Shaws allowed Chang to open his own semi-autonomous film production unit in his native Taiwan, and Lo accompanied his mentor, providing security services and playing supporting roles in Chang’s films.
