Notes
Shaolin & Wu-Tang I’m not trying to change this thing into a movie review blog, but I had recently made the decision to watch all of the movies sampled in Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter the Wu-Tang (The 36 Chambers), since it is one of my favorite hip-hop albums. I thought it might be interesting to journal my experiences with these films. The first one of these flicks that I found was the one that probably has the most recognizable lines, including, “Shaolin shadow boxing and the Wu-Tang sword style… if what you say is true the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be dangerous… do you think your Wu-Tang sword style can defeat me?”. This came pretty early in the film, so I met my goal pretty easily, however, having watched a great deal of Kung Fu flicks in my day I was curious to see why this film was such a heavy focus in the album. The story is almost a non-factor, seeing as it is a classic Kung-Fu film, but there was constant action, which helped with the idea of the first song on the album, “Bring Da Ruckus”. For a Kung-Fu film the action was surprisingly plausible since there wasn’t as much flying around and shit like you might see in some type of Jet li movie. If you have any interest in classic Kung Fu movies I would suggest that you check this movie out at some point, also a great one for any Wu-Tang Clan fans out there.
