kung

-fu movies that we tried for our production or that inspired our look, so, that's not fun. this movie the master the flying guillotine i the flying guillotine became what i use as my lyrical weapon of choice so when you listen to the whoo

tang

clan song enough i start without saying strongly that my style is amazing for buddhism of the Moore family which is awesome and the survey says you're dead the pharaoh's flying guillotine cuts your head off so basically the blue ox tongue is like a sword but the good could outweigh this audio and that's why I chose That's my weapon, well, the good thing.

About this part here, the flying guillotine has not entered yet, and we have one of the brothers allowed here with the three sections of the staff fighting the pole fighter, the Lao clan actually becomes the best acting team and We lost, there are three of you. and the funny thing about this movie is that the guy who was just killed full of cold then becomes a big brother movie star playing the lizard, he's one of the Venom and we'll get to that later, the executioner is from Shaolin . one of my favorite movies of all time and follows the story of hong xiguan who is the founder of hung gar who fights against the priest.

kung

foo hey better than yours if you listen to the wu-tang clan. song wu-tang clan otherwise, it starts with Bill knio knio knio Tiger style, well that's from this movie Tigers that I just filmed, you know, it really inspired us and when you see movies like Kill Bill, which I later scored, you'll see this character please appears primarily wow this is what this scene is here is one of the climax scenes of the movie please the ointment is not a joke and it is huge the technique of moving your weak point at will now Hong Kong is a real way Of martial arts, the animal fist, in fact, the five padam, an animal fist is used in many kung fu movies.

Sammo's brothers hanged Jacky Chan and even in Tony Jaa's

films

, this technique has been incorporated. There really is a basis of the Shaolin style, oh oh, look at this. He has it in his heart in Nugget's scars one for the nuts he bought with a child of nuts, no, no, nuts, he moved the nuts, I don't know how a movement, he moved the nuts and you find him, the 36 chambers of Shaolin, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. I've seen it over 200 times and more. This film that was released in the United States as Master Chiller not only gives the name of one of our Whoo Tang clan numbers, but also gives us the possum. title of our first album enter the wu-tang 36 cameras we asked Lee entered from within the Dragon what is another of my favorite movies Bruce Lee we consider him a minor prophet this movie is directed walking like I said one of the brands were legends but it also stars one of the best martial arts actors since Bruce Lee Gordon Liu now Gordon Liu plays the hero here, the master chiller and the scene that inspired me the most after watching all the action was the scene where he says he wants to go to the highest level and he comes in and the monk says that without wisdom it doesn't give him any gain and that hit me and I heard that and it sent me to start researching Buddhism and finding kung fu books and stuff, but the beautiful thing is the years . later, once again, blessing of the universe, I'm making a film with the IFS and Gordon Luke plays the Abbot and my film, hey, hey, for me there have been several samples for this film, only 35 cameras, there are no 36 , so this is a scene. here where it is first is the first chamber which is simply called crossing the water hole.

What I love about the letters is that while the other months he sleeps, he trains alone, he does it with the hand on one leg and he holds his leg doing the child and he played to dance and that movie he trusted me became part of the breakdancing five deadly poisons directed by Chang Cheh this movie here is actually the movie that made me become a kung-fu fan you could hear the sample of a song we received called the mystery of chessboxing we saw watching this movie the character told he's the one we all voted for he's the one you wish you were the one with the invincible iron skin now here's the snitch now number two practice the snake style as it was known The snake spirit, this technique here was crazy because most of the snake styles were used like this with Jackie Chan, but here he used the Cobra, the mouth, and the tail, and had them act together, which actually only appeared in maybe two movies to see the snake style done like this I think it was this in another movie called the mortal challenger look at that Wow and I saw it when I was a kid you have to imagine I'm a 10 year old watching this yeah and I've seen the guy just lay down better now it was hard to lay down in my boom box you know , anyway they show most of the movies we really enjoyed with sha brother movies, your brothers had big budgets, it was like a studio life and all their movies were studio quality. production suddenly here comes this low budget independent movie called the mystery of chess boxing now being the chest Skylander that a fan of the chest I was like I was able to see this movie and it became my favorite there is the character in this movie whose name is Ghostface Killah's face color and he's one of the most ruthless villains to ever touch the screen, so they came to wu-tang.

I wondered who this guy is that everyone is going to be afraid of based on his Liverpool content and that name became Ghost Face Killah. name and he put on the mask like the five deadly poisons and walked in and when you looked at him in the mystery of chess, hip hop was never the same again, but no one killed you in a past life, you will find out in Ghost Face. album you are here some of the quotes from this movie the 10 Kwantung Tigers here in this movie there is a conflict between these young people they never resolved a dispute they like these young people they can't beat each other but then old G comes at the end and kills the villain in three seconds, Memphis and I always said that's how our lyrics got to be as we get older, we gotta be able to use the mic and then four bars break our asses, excuse my wu language- tang martial arts expert, no there are many we can compare him to now, this movie has a great sample of God or I can try my wu-tang to die, that's the sample over there and the wu-tang guy pulls out a sword and he does the wu style well -tang with his sword, but the crazy thing is that when he is defeated, he then pulls out a weapon that I already sing in one hand in this movie and you will never see it again in any other kung fu. movie and this is a golden statue.

I don't know where the production designer thought it was. I know this weapon once existed. If anyone can make one for me, I would appreciate it. It is the best. Ten Akwonton Tigers from Shogun Assassin, which is the introduction to. the Justice Liquid Swords album hospital my father was famous he was the best samurai in the empire most of our fluids came from kung fu movies sometimes there's a lot of swing and a lot of blocking but in Japanese samurai movies it's a blow that kills Bing Bing Golpe spoke when it was time to incorporate a film into the world of wu-tang.

I chose this film to represent the GZA. His lyrics are straight to the point. Do not be afraid. Bad dreams are just dreams. Choose the sword and you will join me. Choose. the ball, so Jessamine Newcomb Fujiyama was slowing down and a lot of movies appear, others weren't making as many as this group from Taiwan came out with Shaolin vs. the Lama, which is a trilogy, in fact, in this film you see an exhibition of shadow boxing. allowing you the skills this message shadow boxing sexual technique allow me to demonstrate the skill of Shaolin. I'll never forget being in the movie theater when the shadow boxing technique came out, man, the whole audience started screaming.

Wow, after the chess boxing mystery. He is still the reigning champion when my favorite movie Shaolin vs. Wu-tang and this changes my entire martial art ideology. It became my favorite movie. It still keeps the title tied to a professional wrestler diagram, the way they used their swordless sword in this movie and the way. they use Qigong, this has never been seen before, this movie is actually directed by Gordon Liu, which is crazy, I mean, all the years he acted as an actor and his brother directed him, he decides to direct his own movie, you know , it is a There was a lot of power in his movie, the game of chess is like a sword, you must first think before yourself, that is the truth, if what you say is true, Shaolin and Wu-tang could be dangerous.

The name of the Wu-Tang clan is Paul of Shaolin vs. wu-tang for the best sword technique they showed and I think our language is like a sword if you think you are the best lyrics says you should use the wu-tang sword and that's why we are wu. -tang clan we thought we were the best lyricist in hip-hop, but the movie that also helps cement our Brotherhood was that profound plot because here is a movie about brothers who sacrificed themselves for their country, for their family and without rest, against All odds, by writing your family's name, we're going to skip school and hang out at my house and watch this movie that really made some of us feel good.

You know, I did this scene. Here's the final scene where he fights the general who actually framed this family. I'm stopping a dog on a pole, it's the name of Routines, which was supposed to be our last album, the eight diagrams in the old days, you know, sampling any signal to a sampler was a pain in the ass, the gift of a VCR was the worst because you had to have three or three plugs because the samplers only used quarter inch plugs, so you would actually have to go from your VCR to your mixer, then from the headphone jack on your mixer to your sampler and then you would get a very distorted signal and then if you missed it, you must want it, try to find it because the sampler only took a sample of X number of seconds, so it was a challenging way to produce.

You know, I can show everyone that it's been RZA's

vanity

fair

. I want to thank you all for inviting us. me and uh wu-tang forever
