The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter

Action & Adventure

What started as masterful kung-fu filmmaker Liu Chia-liang’s homage to the heroic Sung Dynasty Yang family became an angry, even savage, rumination on heroic sacrifice when international idol Alexander Fu Sheng died in a car accident midway through production.

The finished film is unique in the director’s extraordinary filmography for the intensity and power of its emotions and kung-fu.
