DESCRIPTION:\n	A celebration of the life and work of the late Lau Kar-leung
  and Run Run Shaw \n	\n	Co-presented with Subway Cinema/New York Asian Fil
 m Festival&nbsp\; \n	\n	Introduced by author and filmmaker\, Ric Meyers \n
 \n\n	\n	Dir. Lau Kar-leung. 1983\, 98 mins. 35mm. With Gordon Liu\, Alexan
 der Fu\, Kara Hui\, Ko Fe. This ferocious late-period masterpiece from the
  Shaw Brothers Studio (co-founded by Run Run Shaw with his brother\, Run M
 e Shaw)\, directed by pioneering action-choreographer Lau Kar-leung\, star
 s Gordon Liu—Lau’s god-brother\, the “John Wayne to [Lau’s] Ford\,” (per D
 avid Bordwell)—in one of the legendary actor’s most enthralling performanc
 es. After a group of marauding Khitans ambush the imperial Yang family\, Y
 ang Wu-lang (Liu)—one of two sons to survive the attack—retreats to a mona
 stery to train and develop the eight-diagram pole fighting technique. When
  he finds his sister endangered by the same group of dangerous invaders\, 
 tensions soar high as his need for unadulterated revenge begins to eclipse
  his pacifist training. Scintillatingly beautiful and fiercely dynamic\, E
 ight Diagram Pole-Fighter is one of the greatest kung-fu movies ever made.
