'Masked Avengers' aka 'Cha shou' (1981) – Chang Cheh.

Shaw Brothers directing god Chang Cheh is the untarnished gold standard for heroic, plasma-packed, bone-shatteringly brutal Kung Fu carnage, but master Cheh audaciously earns himself a glisteringly gory golden trident for his grievously gruesome, riotously rib-wrecking, sternum-skewering martial masterpiece 'Masked Avengers'. A rewardingly visceral, blissfully blood-spattered, brain-bogglingly bonkers example of Cheh's unrivalled mastery of majestic martial arts mayhem!!!! With an exemplary cast of preternaturally agile, fiercely fleet-footed Shaw Brothers warrior icons, sumptuous set design, a memorable score, and a giddy plenitude of truly outstanding panther-paced fight choreography, guarantees that no jaw shall remain undropped by the trident-thrashingly tumultuous conclusion of 'Masked Avengers'. 

Remember, there are only ONE true 'Avengers', and they are genius action maestro Chang Cheh's magnificently muscular Manchurian martial arts madmen 'Masked Avengers' (1981). A deliriously dazzling, skull-shatteringly brutal, freakishly kinetic Kung Fu spectacle without peer! The venomously villanous 'Masked Avengers' actively remains a meticulously mental, stylishly sinuous, ferociously fearsome fight-flick that will righteously kick a Buddha-sized hole in your reeling cerebellum, and let the heroically healing light of Shaw Brothers movie magic rush right in! A scintillatingly savage showcase of inimitable Shaw Brothers bellicosity, maestro Chang Cheh's Grindhouse grisly 'Masked Avengers' is kinda' like if the 'Wild Bunch' met an even WILDER bunch!!!!
