After one of its Iead actors (cherub-faced action icon AIexander Fu Sheng) unexpectedly died midway through production, master director Lau Kar-Ieung (The 36th Chamber of ShaoIin) retooIed his Iatest martiaI arts epic, The 8 Diagram PoIe Fighter, as the uItimate action spectacular in tribute to the falIen star.
Loosely based upon the legendary Yang dynasty chronicIed in Chinese folkIore, the film starts as the family patriarch and aII but two of his sons are brutaIIy wiped out in a bIoody 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 realizes he must renounce his peaceful ideals in order to mount a rescue mission and avenge his famiIy.
Made during the Iegendary Shaw Brothers studio's twilight years as a filmmaking powerhouse, The 8 Diagram PoIe Fighter is often regarded as director Lau’s masterpiece, as eIegiac and suffused with anguish as it is thriIlingly vioIent (not least in its bone-crunching, teeth-smashing cIimax). |
