Alexander Fu died in a car accident before the filming of The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter was finished. The script was partly re-written after his death and Fu's character does not appear in the final showdown as originally written in the script.[1]
The film is based on the Generals of the Yang Family (Yeung family in Cantonese) legends.
