Steve and I each happened to include a martial arts film when we picked movies for each other. I
like these kinds of films, but I think Steve probably likes them slightly more
than I do. Eight Diagram Pole Fighter
(don’t bother trying to figure out what the title means) is a traditional genre
film from the legendary Shaw Brothers.
Rather than have any number of martial arts skills and weapons on
display this one almost exclusively features fighting with lances. There’s not a lot of plot – it’s a time
honored tale of revenge – but there is plenty of fighting to watch.
