Before we close out the Shaw Brothers lap, we're taking one more journey back to the O.G. Shaw Brothers and talking about Five Deadly Venoms! After leafing through more terrible YouTube comments, we talk about the Season 2 premiere of Young Rock (18:25-24:20) before diving into the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (24:20) to see Brian play a game of chicken with Fonzie. Then, we welcome in John Siino (host of Shot in the Dark on upNXT and reporter for POST Wrestling) to talk all about Five Deadly Venoms (34:05). We chat with John about his extensive history with the Wu-Tang Clan and whether or not RZA (and the rest of the group) helped saved these movies from film obsolescence. We talk about the Shaw Brothers version of the Brat Pack (the "Venom Mob"), if this movie would be better as a series of boss battles, and what this would look like if someone remade it today.Email us: [email protected] our Patreon page at patreon.com/2fast2forever.
