"First he caught one snake... Then HUNDREDS more!... Then he trained them all to kill!"

This is a Hong Kong horror/softcore porn movie from the 70s with lots of snakes.

Zhihong is a sick and sadistic young man in Hong Kong who is bullied, robbed, and brokenhearted. When he talks to them, snakes understand him. He lives next to a snake cafe where they keep a lot of snakes in boxes in order to harvest the bile from their gall bladders to serve to their customers. One of the snakes which has had its gall bladder removed comes into Zhihong's bedroom. He talks to the snake, stitches up its wound, and makes a bed for it in a box. The snake heals and then brings a bunch of other snakes to the room for him to heal. After he heals them, Zhihong he has a little snake army to use for revenge.

Zhihong loses his job after a gang robbed him. The second time the gang tries to rob him, his snake shows up and Zhihong tells it to bite them all. The snake springs up and flies through the air at the gangsters. Later Zhihong's whole gang of snakes fly through the air to kill people for him. He realizes he can use his snakes to kill other people who have wronged him, and even sets loose a couple of monitor lizards on a woman he has tied up. There is lots of snake gore in the movie, especially in one scene where we see many real live snakes cut into pieces with a sword. Whether they were alive first, is hard to say, because the film is so dark it's hard to see much of anything.

Zhihong lives next to a snake cafe where they cut open the belly of a living Cobra and pull out the gall bladder, draining the bile into a bowl to use as a drink. (Some Chinese think that drinking bile from a live snake has healing properties.)
