There was a real Axe Gang in Shanghai around Japanese Occupation with the head named Wang Ya Qiao. Those in the films are based loosely on this. They also had a very fierce leader they called him Young Seabass because he was just 15 at the time.

Where the axe echoes with a lonely sound,
The generations labor to possess
And grave by grave we civilize the ground.”
