@@dingusbro925 RZA was so enthusiastic about this as a kid that he got all of his friends into it. He is a chess playing, science fiction reading, Buddhism studying nerd, who happens to be super charismatic and confident, and the brains behind the most influential hip-hop group of all time.
I grew up watching Shogun's Assassin, Ogami Ittō is the man! I thought that sample "Your technique is magnificent...." was a great way to end the album, well GZA's part anyway, excluding the bonus track with Killah Priest.
We all knew Wu Tang loved their Kung Fu movies, but I had NO IDEA that RZA knew so much about the production history, cast & crew, Chinese history & folklore, and kung fu techniques behind all of the references. It was awesome to see him nerd out to the same movies I love too! What a great video, Variety Fair!
Gotta love RZA he actually respects the Asian community. Didn't realize how much Asian culture influenced hip-hop and even break dancing. Always loved Wu-Tang growing up those guys are so humble and chill.
RZA looks so good. He really didn’t age much at all. The music industry needs to give them their flowers while they are still here. They deserve all the iconic legend awards. Wu is forever
@Domo Jones Great hero Jim Thorpe. All of a sudden, the next few bars make so much more sense now that I've heard his story about sampling off a VCR: How can I put it/Life is like video footage/ Hard to edit/Directors, they never understood it
RZA needs to become a University lecturer on Kung-fu films. Please make this happen. His depth of knowledge, wisdom, and experience is so vast and deep. That's one elective I wouldn't miss!
Anyone see the movie Rhyme and Reason? Vhs. It had method man in a Macdonald parking lot spitting bars. But that's just the hook I'm using. The movie is about late 80s and early 90s hip hop culture as a way of life and how it evolved. Kriss Kross salt and peppa. They're all in it. Even Biz Markie! Beat box wizard. Undefeated. We need a Rhyme and Reason 2!! About how rap has evolved. For better or worse :/ lol
I moved my nuts once........the last time I busted on my wife’s face lol. That was a long time ago. Now I need to master how to get to times where I can do that again.
I was a metal head growing up but I'll always have a soft spot for Wu Tang because I used to watch old kung fu movies with my grandfather. Shogun Assassin was my favorite. I watch it every year on the anniversary of his passing. Rest easy Granddad, you'll always be missed.
Love this. Growing up in the nineties, Wu-Tang was the first time I saw my culture being respected and paid homage to rather than being clowned on by a non-Chinese person. Turned me to a hip-hop head ever since...
I lived in the projects in Chicago and all of the males around me love kung fu movies and had nothing but respect for the people in them. They even wanted to dress like them.
Yeah it’s weird to hear you say that because it wasn’t uncommon for Kung-Fu, Comics, Wrestling, etc. to be admired in Black Neighborhoods. My dad sold drugs but still watch The Animal Planet, CNN and The Geography Channel Allll Day. Most Black People at least where I grew up have always felt that Chinese People looked down upon them same as the whites and that’s why they would mess with some
His comments at the end where he told the challenges of sampling in the early to mid 90’s proves why he is (in my opinion) the greatest Producer hip-hop has ever had!
Film #1 "This is my favorite film." Film #2 "Yeah this one's actually my favorite." Film #3 "This is my all-time favorite." Gotta love RZA and Wu-Tang.
Right? I don't climb mountains, I *do* play electric guitar, but I feel like even I know the meaning of dope. The definition of dope, is "Ghostface Killer"
I relate to this. I didn’t know that a lot of rappers were in to horror movies of books until recently I heard on a horror podcast that a lot of artists are fans of the horror genre and sometimes is part of the inspiration for their songs or sampling there soundtracks. D-12 American Psycho, silence of the lambs, Carrie, Halloween, psycho JayZ D”evils references The Exorcist Lupe Fiasco - “Super Cold reference The shining 2Pac Troublesome 96 references Candyman Wu-Tang Clan references House on Haunted Hill with gravel pit I’m sure there’s more too I love horror so when I heard about it I actually went back and listened to them again and was surprised I didn’t notice it before. I guess it was subtle enough that I didn’t catch it but thought it was awesome!

@King Delevingne1. The Shaolin Temple (Jet Li's first movie) is I think the greatest Martial Arts film ever produced. It was so grand....it took over 2 years to film. 2. Shaolin vs Lama....my personal favorite old school movie ever. Best villain and trash talker ever. 3. Raid Redemption 1.....more modern....but this movie is nuts! I'd never heard of Pencak Silat or knew Martial arts even existed in Indonesia I can watch all 3 over and over.
Back in university I remember expressing to some friends that I was a big fan of this movie 36 chambers of shaolin and they were like oh dude you should listen to this hiphop group called the wutang clan. good times, glad to have found their music.
I was unexpected of RZA's understanding of Kung Fu and movies and he definitely knows more than I do (I am Chinese and I love Kung Fu movies too) . He knows the history and knowledge and understands the techniques as well, just woah. There are lots of westerners like Kung Fu movies but won't think and analyze as deep as RZA has. I just want to say woah and has a whole new level of respect for him.
My grandad studied hung gar for around 24 years and actually taught me some, but then he sadly got sick and passed away at the beginning of this year. God rest his soul🙏🏽❤️
If you grew up in nyc in the 80’s, these films were constantly playing on Sunday’s on channel 5, so cool to know that’s what influenced him. Kids today will never know what it’s like to grow up on 7 channels and no cable.
The sad thing is after Gordon Liu had a stroke and moved into hospital, his family and his assistant all took advantage of him, embezzled his money, the great master now is extremely skinny and weak. Let’s hope things get better for him.
I'm late to the party, but I'm completely impressed that RZA know more about Kungfu movies than I do, and I watched these movies in the original language.
Not to mention he produced all of their debuts back in the 90's. Tical, Enter the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, Only Built for Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords, Ironman,
Seeing RZA get all pumped up talking about kung fu movies just warms my heart for some reason, and I'm not even a big kung fu fan. But seeing other people getting excited about the things they love is just one of the best feelings you could feel.
When I was a kid growing up in LA in the late 70's early 80's we used to watch Kung Fu theater every Saturday right after Soul Train then go outside and try to emulate the moves we saw. Man....good times
I grew up in the 70s and 80s also, and I remember us going to the movies and watching Bruce Lee and other kung fu movies. My male cousins loved it and tried to emulate it and had many discussions about who was the best.
In Russia most of kids of my generatioin (80's & 90's) grew up with Shaw Brothers kung-fu movies. So hearing the legendary Wu-Tang Clan was so relatable! Keep the amazing music alive.
Wow this was an awesome interview I've seen little clips of Rza talking about his favorite kung fu movies but this was an excellent dive into the movies samples history I love this stuff could listen to him talking old kung fu flicks all day 😀
I could listen to RZA talk about anything. He’s got the most unique voice ever. It sounds like he swaps out various vowels , and his Rs and Ls are sometime’s like Ws, his “TH” sound is an “F” sound. Certain suffixes of words just drop off. I’ve never heard a voice like his. It’s amazing.It sounds awesome, especially being how insanely intelligent he is.
Little none fact to many around the country, is that during the 80's in the NY tri-state area ( NYC, NJ, CT ) Kung Fu movies where shown on local TV on Saturday afternoons. There was a generation of boys that grew up watching martial arts flicks in the 80's and you can hear the influence of the movies in early rap lyrics. The Wu -Tang Clan took it to a whole new level however and that is one of the reasons why the group resonated with a lot of NY, NJ males in the 90's so quickly. Also in Manhattan, during the same time period, the only type of movies you could watch in movie theaters, 24 hours a day, seven days a week were adult movies and Kung Fu movies. That's how popular martial arts movies were in NYC during that era.
Not just the tri state, my dad lived in Fla. and my mom in Cali... I seen them both during those time @ each of their homes. It got so ridiculous we use to were Kung fu gi’s everywhere!
Thank you for this comment. I didn't know this. I was wondering what made him and other wu tang members so interested in kung fu movies. And now i know why.
Not Just NYC this was Global Suhn in South African Townships in the late 80s early 90s someone who had a TV and VHS would bring it and the whole neighborhood would be in that house watching Kung-Fu movies, When Wu-Tang was known in the mid 90s everyone went krazy with that Shaolin Style Hip hop.
That and dude who sat there with his sword and ball. Boss: You can choose the sword, and join me...or you can choose the ball, and join your mother. Me: 😯
“Choose the sword and you will join me, choose the ball and you join your mother” instant chills. Favorite song off my favorite 90s album, I’m definitely watching shogun assassin now
Hey RZA - I'm sure Adam Savage would love to make that gold statue sword for you. When Eric Idle tweeted if anyone could make him a guitar case, Adam Savage went and made it as a one day build. So Adam, if you're watching this...!
RZA opened my eyes to so many martial arts movies through his and the rest of the clan music. We need a nice remastered version of Flying Guillotine,it’s been way too long since the non completed DVD dubbed version
I am forever fascinated by any person who shows this much enthusiasm for their influences.

Who’s ready for the new Wu-Tang series that starts tomorrow on Hulu?
ItzReseTz me so excited
I cant watch it :(
Series? I thought it was a movie
@@iskenderkizilirmak1679 Nah, its better as a series because you can spend more time with the Wu
@Vision Tube Hulu?
I love RZA's amount of calculation when creating his art and his brand
Can imagine Quentin Tarantino eating crisps and watching this on repeat somewhere in his crib 😅
Low-key waiting for Tarantino to make samurai champloo into a movies totally up his aisle!
"The children are the future
And WU-TANG is for the babies."
~O.D.B.
WuTang forever 👐
WuTang is for the Children! 🤣✊🏾
In 1995 alone Rza produced; Only Built for Cuban Linx, Liquid Sword and Return to 36 Chambers the Dirty version.
If that's real that's a crazy legendary fact cuz niggas nowadays like Kanye stress having to produce multiple albums at once
Not to mention he produced all of their debuts back in the 90's.
Tical, Enter the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, Only Built for Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords, Ironman,
Nothing but classics.
Incredible…
No one like rza , his artistic mind should be considered comparable to Michelangelo , a master of many trades , truly inspirational
Seeing RZA get all pumped up talking about kung fu movies just warms my heart for some reason, and I'm not even a big kung fu fan. But seeing other people getting excited about the things they love is just one of the best feelings you could feel.
"Where's my sister?"
*"I'm standing on her!"*
Hahahhhaa
jajajja!
That had me almost as much as "He moved his nuts"
This man's knowledge of 80's HK martial art film is unparalleled.
When I was a kid growing up in LA in the late 70's early 80's we used to watch Kung Fu theater every Saturday right after Soul Train then go outside and try to emulate the moves we saw. Man....good times
I grew up in the 70s and 80s also, and I remember us going to the movies and watching Bruce Lee and other kung fu movies. My male cousins loved it and tried to emulate it and had many discussions about who was the best.
Kunfu movies were popping those times og
Yes, in NYC every Saturday morning was when we caught the flicks too.
Same here. I watched every Saturday back then.
RZA has the coolest voice on earth. Could listen to him all day.
How did TH-cam know I was recently watching “wu-tang the American saga” 😭
Can you check out my beats and tell me what you think. I appreciate it
I love how this black man just dropped mad knowledge about these different forms of Martial arts
Jevaughn Minto ofc. He’s rza
In Russia most of kids of my generatioin (80's & 90's) grew up with Shaw Brothers kung-fu movies. So hearing the legendary Wu-Tang Clan was so relatable! Keep the amazing music alive.
same in poland !
Honestly I could listen to Rza talk about sampling for hours
This was great! RZA really knows his kung fu flicks lol
That’s an understatement.
This breakdown was AMAZING!!!
Yea! Wu-Tang...cultural appropriation at its finest!
@@JR-kv6ez Wu-Tang clearly did their homework on the culture they were inspired by with this video.
"Wheres my sister?"
"Im standing on her"
Best line in any movie... Gets me every time.
4:02
"Without wisdom, there is no gain."
And "bootyism"
Syed Isamuddin 😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve finally found a religion I can get with
I was looking for this comment
He said Buddhism. But with dirty mind, you can heard him saying "bootyism"
@@andrewstickadius4333 He did say booty-ism*
@@jojostieff9392 No.
Wu-Tang Clan is like a comic book series except it happens in real life.
Wow this was an awesome interview I've seen little clips of Rza talking about his favorite kung fu movies but this was an excellent dive into the movies samples history I love this stuff could listen to him talking old kung fu flicks all day 😀
Wu-Tang is a legendary group. Who else agrees?
Food tastes good. Who also agrees?
Begging for likes on TH-cam in the year 2019. Sad.
@@chand911 he isn't begging for likes...
@The Josh O Show....in my Shogun Assassin voice......*"I Agree!"*
@@TSLMPP he basically is.
I could listen to RZA talk about anything. He’s got the most unique voice ever. It sounds like he swaps out various vowels , and his Rs and Ls are sometime’s like Ws, his “TH” sound is an “F” sound. Certain suffixes of words just drop off. I’ve never heard a voice like his. It’s amazing.It sounds awesome, especially being how insanely intelligent he is.
The way you broke this down is amazing!
@@Sqwrl334 agreed...especially considering i was thinking something less eloquent prior to reading this comment.
That's that Staten Island speak, kid
The way he says family feud stresses me out lol
Who would have thought that, you not only get a hip hop lesson, but a martial arts lesson also! Thank you, RZA!
Wow he's 50 and still looks like he's 30.
when u treat your body as a temple that's a perk. Also discipline.
Black don't crack son
Joe Healy u took the words right out my mouth
@@joehealy1477 No it's because he probably stayed off the drugs and drinking.
@@joehealy1477 Samuel Jackson looks old af though.
"A game of chess is like a sword fight, you must think first before you move"
"You must think first--HEI--before you move."
"That's the truth, yo."
I need all these movies in a WuTang Kung fu blu Ray/4K box set. Thank you.
My African Homie on 34th and 8th in NYC got you covered
@@rawtalkrealdeal9985 does he ship?
Abso-f$&King-lately!!
Little none fact to many around the country, is that during the 80's in the NY tri-state area ( NYC, NJ, CT ) Kung Fu movies where shown on local TV on Saturday afternoons. There was a generation of boys that grew up watching martial arts flicks in the 80's and you can hear the influence of the movies in early rap lyrics. The Wu -Tang Clan took it to a whole new level however and that is one of the reasons why the group resonated with a lot of NY, NJ males in the 90's so quickly. Also in Manhattan, during the same time period, the only type of movies you could watch in movie theaters, 24 hours a day, seven days a week were adult movies and Kung Fu movies. That's how popular martial arts movies were in NYC during that era.
Not just the tri state, my dad lived in Fla. and my mom in Cali... I seen them both during those time @ each of their homes. It got so ridiculous we use to were Kung fu gi’s everywhere!
Thank you for this comment. I didn't know this. I was wondering what made him and other wu tang members so interested in kung fu movies. And now i know why.
yup Saturdays and Sundays was Kung fu days... as kids put on your ninja slippers and sit close tv and watch )
In Philadelphia too, I would watch the kung fu flicks and NWA wrestling Saturday afternoons as a kid.
Not Just NYC this was Global Suhn in South African Townships in the late 80s early 90s someone who had a TV and VHS would bring it and the whole neighborhood would be in that house watching Kung-Fu movies, When Wu-Tang was known in the mid 90s everyone went krazy with that Shaolin Style Hip hop.
Wu-tang Clan literally gangsta nerds lmao 😆
I'm Chinese and I know 98.5% lesser than RZA about shaolin and kung fu
Patrick Ohm.....you have the most British name ever
@@charliegillman5149 ohm is an acronym for my long 3 syllable chinese name 🤣🤣
@Mr Niceguy 🤣 I get that alot, probably its cause of my dark skin tone
Are you part of the resistance?
I was born n grew up in hong kong, and i know 90% less than RZA. HE IS A REAL EXPERT
No joke, I'd listen to a full commentary by RZA on each of his favorite kung fu films.
Peak RZA is an unstoppable producer. Unbeatable and unbreakable. Wu-Tang
Good Guy: Where's my sister?
Bad Guy: I'm standing on her.
SAVAGE, LMAO.
Stakes, raised.
That and dude who sat there with his sword and ball.
Boss: You can choose the sword, and join me...or you can choose the ball, and join your mother.
Me: 😯
@@supersizedfries4142 lol he was talking to a baby too
@@supersizedfries4142 George RR Martin kiiiiinda stole that for a character in ASOIAF
wu tang joints are so fuckin hype everytime they come up on my spotify.
“Choose the sword and you will join me, choose the ball and you join your mother” instant chills. Favorite song off my favorite 90s album, I’m definitely watching shogun assassin now
I have seen most of these films. RZA is a real OG Asian Martial Arts film fan.
Hey RZA - I'm sure Adam Savage would love to make that gold statue sword for you.
When Eric Idle tweeted if anyone could make him a guitar case, Adam Savage went and made it as a one day build. So Adam, if you're watching this...!
Well, You can always Twitter them with link of this video and mentioned the same words. Better than hoping that they would see!
Liquid Swords is one of the top 3 hiphop albums of all time
1.Enter the WuTang
2.Illmatic
3.Liquid Swords
And with some of the sampling challenges these OG producers faced, they were able to create timeless Hip-hop music. Salute to The Rza
RZA opened my eyes to so many martial arts movies through his and the rest of the clan music. We need a nice remastered version of Flying Guillotine,it’s been way too long since the non completed DVD dubbed version
