      Drew Hunt Chicago Reader This late release from the Shaw Brothers Studio in Hong Kong is one of its very best, thanks to the kinetic direction of Lau Kar-leung. Oct 18, 2012 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene A kung fu classic that also deals with PTSD and the double-edged sword of family obligations, The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter is a work of imaginative joy.

      s r This version from the Shaws stuck to the traditional over acting and cheese of Kung Fu OGs. The seriousness of branding oneself all while having no good motivation to do so left me puzzled. Perhaps it was the bad dubbing / translation? It did have some good fighting sequences, but all in all it was a little tedious and predictable. I own it digitally and saw it since my friend recommended it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
