8 Diagram Pole Fighter

A shattered family. A warrior's refuge. A reckoning that cannot wait. 8 Diagram Pole Fighter brings a gripping tale of betrayal, vengeance, and family loyalty to your kung fu collection, featuring Gordon Liu and Alexander Fu Sheng as brothers who survive a devastating battlefield massacre.

After their heroic family is double-crossed and slaughtered, only two brothers escape. Yang #5, played by Gordon Liu of 36th Chamber of Shaolin, seeks refuge in a Shaolin temple. But sanctuary offers little peace: his anger and thirst for revenge put him at odds with the monks and their disciplined way of life.

When he learns that his sister has been captured by the same villains who destroyed his family, he leaves the monastery to attempt her rescue and confront those responsible. The struggle between restraint and vengeance gives this martial arts story an emotional weight beyond its battle for survival.
