Move that pole!!
|
Gordon is still master of the pole. I've watched plenty of kung fu movies by greats such as Cheng Pei Pei, Ti Lung, David Chiang, Alexander Fu Sheng, Wang Yue, Wong Yu Wai and even Lo Lieh. No one can execute that pole like Gordon (maybe 7 out of 10 only by Jackie Chan in Drunken Master II). Pay special attention to the scene where he was challenged by the abbott before he could leave the temple to save Kara. For Kevin of Malaysia (your review of 2005), Alexander Fu Sheng's role appeared supportive because he died of a car crash halfway through the movie. With clever editing and realighment of the story, Gordon had to save Kara Hui instead of Alexander (in the original script). As mentioned before, Gordon's maturity and his dynamic execution made this movie what it is. LOve that man!!! |

The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter
|
I've watched this movie 10 times since my review and it goes to show what a dynamic show it is. Gordon Liu wins hands-down in all his shaolin kungfu movies. As mentioned before, the finale is breathtaking, execution of moves were slippery as butter and made to look as easy as taking candy from a baby!! Although I've mentioned in my previous review about being disappointed cause they didn't really show the specific creation of the '8 Diagram Pole' moves, I still love this movie as the moves were actually incorporated in the grand finale fighting sequence. Only big disappointment is for classic movies like these, they should have a special feature section interviewing dynamo Gordon Liu. He did one for The 36 Chambers of Shaolin as well as Martial Club. Still looking hot at 53!!! Well, have to buy this in dvd format as well because at the rate I'm going, the vcd could be worn out!! |

Real martial arts performance
| Overall is good but Fu Sheng's role is a waste of talent for being a supporting cast in the show. Fans of Gordon Liu should not miss his shaolin kungfu performance here. |

The creme de la creme!
| As far as I'm concerned, this might be the finest kung fu film I've ever seen, in terms of performances, and sheer virtuosity of action choreography. Liu Chia Liang, a.k.a. Lau Kar Leung, will forever be considered one of the greatest choreographers, if not the greatest, but it is his storytelling abilities, visually and otherwise, that make movies such as this one, 36th Chamber, and Martial Club truly stand out. Not just recommended, but essential viewing! |

classic
| This is a great martial arts movie, but its also a great political conspiracy and spiritual enlightenment movie, which is what Shaw Brothers mastered in. Not to mention a fantastic pole fight climax at the end. All in all - Classic. |

polefighting heaven
| Simply one of the best shaw brothers movies ever made,a real classic!Lau kar fei is on top form,great fight scenes( the finale has to be seen to be believed!),great cast including the late great Fu sheng,Hui Ying Hung and my favourite shaw brothers bad lad Wang lung-wei. I can not recommend this movie enough so pull up a chair open a beer or two and settle down to some polefighting magic. |

Eight Diagram Pole Fighter
| Action packed movie based on the historic "Yang Generals" tales. Probably, the very last movie by Fu Sheng (prior his tragic accident) as he only appeared in the first half of the show. Gordon Lau excellent as usual. Worthy watching. |
