The Eight Diagram Pole
Fighter (1983)
Directed by Lau
Kar-leung this film stars Gordon Liu, Alexander Fu, Kara Hui and Ko
Fei. One son of a general survives the death of his fathers and
brothers and the hands of treacherous fighters.
This film shares the
same director with 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978) and
unsurprisingly the basic plot is largely the same. I found this to be
a weaker version of the earlier film but still an enjoyable watch
even if there is not a lot of originality here. Some of the special
effects are a step further from with more crazy magic on show here
but the story lacks some heart in my opinion.
3/5
