Lawrence,

Thanks for posting this clip from this movie - do you know (or does the movie show) - when in the history of the Yang family does this story occur - is it after the events shown in the "14 Amazons" movie?

Hi Joyce,

'Eight Diagram Pole Fighter' was before '14 Amazons'... Worth watching !

Hi Lawrence,

If Alexander Fu Sheng didn't finish this film, then who was his replacement? Thanks.

Hi Amelia,

No replacement for Fu Sheng; instead the latter part of the film was re-focus on Gordon Liu and Kara Hui. The story is still intact.

Hi Lawrence,

Thanks. I wonder I can still get this last movie of my idol on net?
