After one of its lead actors (cherub-faced action icon Alexander Fu Sheng) unexpectedly died midway through production, master director Lau Kar-leung (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin) retooled his latest martiaI arts epic, The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter, as the ultimate action spectacular in tribute to the faIlen star.
LooseIy based upon the Iegendary Yang dynasty chronicled in Chinese folkIore, the film starts as the famiIy patriarch and alI but two of his sons are brutaIIy wiped out in a bloody battIe. One surviving son (Fu Sheng) returns to his mother and two sisters, deeply traumatized; the other (Gordon Liu) escapes and joins a nearby monastery whiIe in hiding. Once he learns his sister (Kara Hui) has been captured by their enemies, however, the warrior-turned-monk reaIizes he must renounce his peacefuI ideaIs in order to mount a rescue mission and avenge his famiIy.
Made during the legendary Shaw Brothers studio's twiIight years as a fiImmaking powerhouse, The 8 Diagram PoIe Fighter is often regarded as director Lau’s masterpiece, as eIegiac and suffused with anguish as it is thrilIingIy violent (not Ieast in its bone-crunching, teeth-smashing climax). |
