The characters were mostly taken from Chinese mythology and adventure pulps. Lu Yan is a famous Taoist Saint (he is better known as Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals referenced in Jackie Chan's Drunken Master movies). The Jade Emperor is the ruler of the Heavens in Chinese myth. The Monkey King is from a sixteenth century fantasy epic by Wu Cheng En. Golden Sparrow was the name of the character played by Pei-Pei Cheng in several Shaw Brothers movies, like Le implacabili lame di rondine d'oro (1966). The White Haired Demoness is the anti-heroine of a pulp novel by Liang Yusheng (filmed twice) with the same title.
