Dragon Lee is supposed to be the "star" of this movie, but we don't really see him much until the end fight. Also as the title implies there are five brothers, but there isn't. They aren't even blood brothers, but they all trained at shoalin, so they are brothers in spirit. But we only really see three of them and one is a woman. Two are bad guys while the woman is good. The main bad guy appears not so tough in one scene where is wearing a pink robe and wearing dangly earrings. Fairy nice. The other guy has a silver hand and is a master of disguise. He can make himself look like a dirty bum, white haired old man, or even a guy with a moustache!
The "plot" of the movie is nothing new. The evil Chings are trying to get the rebels as well as their name list. This name list is pretty hard to get. First you must visit this old guy who gives you a bracelet, then you go see some other guy who will take you to a drug seller, and finally the drug seller will take you to Mr. Cheung. With all that, some rebels get killed and we never even see Mr. Cheung.
Let's cut straight to the end fight which is where we see the most of Dragon Lee. He first fights two shirtless guys who I assume are the last two "brothers." He kills them both and one guy dies by a vicious blow to his crotch. Meanwhile the good female brother fights the silver handed guy and chops off his silver hand with her flying hat. Dragon Lee and the girl team up against her evil brothers. The silver handless guy is killed and they go after the main bad dude. After repeated blows to the head the bad guy gets blurred vision probably caused by swelling of the brain. Being disoriented he is easy pickings for Dragon and the girl who finish him off. Yippie!!
