The best thing about samples is how they introduce you to all kinds of new music and in this case movies.

That's powerful he inspired a whole generation as kids in the 80's the most. I know the voices. Your uncle is an icon. Tell him thank you!!!

[@paulblake1892]

They don't make martial arts flicks like these anymore. Wu-tang forever

[@walterwyte3546]

Of course , its corny af , you can still find decent kungfu flicks tho for present

[@purpleplantain374]

with good reason

[@shivasrinivasan80]

They were truly classics. Snake in the Monkey's shadow, Ninja on the Wall, Five Dealy Venoms, the Magnificent Butcher, The Iron Monkey and 36th Chamber of Shaolin to name a few.

[@youtubeuser1159]

@@walterwyte3546 modern kung fu movies have that awful wirework and flying around. The Shaw Brothers classics had real martial artists and Chinese circus performers, engaging plots with themes of rebellion and brotherhood, the best sets and costumes, and most importantly the dubbing.

8:57 "The very art that had raised them to such Olympian heights was lost" Always loved hearing this skit in 'Duel of the Iron Mic' because it prophetically describes how the Clan became Gods in Hip Hop only to throw it all away with disorder and division.

[@UHPdriver]

As a kid of the 90s who grew up on this rap, I'm eternally grateful for this compilation. So cool.

[@3rdeyerapcom70]

It's kinda funny to see the actual movie scenes to the samples

[@triniborn76]

RZA influenced a whole generation to watch Kung Fu flicks! 👍👍

[@tokenjay]

These actors knew actual martial arts. The crispness in their motions and the long takes is so much cleaner than action films today.

[@Spore4006]

This is really dope that you compiled this. I always find it interesting to run across samples and stuff in hip-hop songs. It's like learning something that barely anyone knows or will ever discover. Like learning a secret technique or shaolin fighting style.

[@CruzSama]

Without these samples there wouldn’t be a wu-tang clan

[@scottbruckner4653]

This is why I love Wu Tang, they drag all their inspiration from these films.

[@jaredR207]

I just think it's amazing that some guys chilling together down in Staten Island were watching these old martial arts films translated to English then they used it as inspiration and translated it to hip hop bringing it to the entire world.

The 5 deadly venoms is a friggin CLASSIC .

[@BlaqueCzar]

"Toad style..is immensely strong, and immune to any weapon."

[@theFRACTALREIGN]

"The WU is the way, the TANG is the slang." This quote from the RZA solidified the meaning for naming a group of 10 NY MCs as the WU TANG CLAN. It had made sense to them since martial art culture was already a part of their childhood entertainment. Compare this concept to that of Griselda and their use of pro wrestling snippets. Having snippets of martial art films strategically placed within tracks served to purposely amplify the group's Message...... PEACE

[@djexpo6655]

Had the absolute pleasure of seeing RZA live-score The 36th Chamber of Shaolin yesterday and now I’m curious to see more.

[@coreydiggs2788]

So Quentin Tarantino was inspired by Executioners from Shaolin when he made Kill Bill. He recreated that scene it when Beatrix first fights Pai Mei, interesting

I swear these movies was the best for Us NYC 70's kids, kept most of Us in shape. After Saturday morning cartoons and six bowls of Capt. Krunch cereal or corn Flakes with lots of sugar at bottom of bowl undissolved, We became the Kung Fu Masters. Breaking shit in the house of Our Parents & Grand parents. Getting Our asses beat by Kung Fu karate Chop Mom's, Aunties or GrandMa's. Blaming each other for who broke what. Daaamn I got tears of nostalgic laughter right now.

I remeber as a little kid in the early= mid 90s, my cousin would take me to this little movie store which had bootleg kung fu movies, the quality was shit but man I loved em.

[@redcorncob]

For anyone who's curious, the voice actor at 6:17 has been identified. It's Chris Hilton, a (former?) Hong Kong TV presenter.

[@Aitian56]

Where did you find this information? I would love to learn and find information on the dubbed voices.

[@redcorncob]

Mostly by finding clips from the English Radio Television Hong Kong station from the 70s and 80s (where a lot of them were or still are announcers) and talking to the few dubbers who've come out of the woodwork themselves. They were mostly British expats.

[@jaredR207]

I bet when he was recording it he had no idea that even 50 years later people would still be hearing his voice recording used in popular hip hop music everyday.

[@ThaMastahShogunGaming]

Epic shit. Nothing better than the classics

[@arbitor2011]
