Kung Fu Saturdays: 5 Fingers of Death
Q Ball
Q Ball is a South Florida inner city native who has embraced Hip Hop culture ever since He first heard "Rapper's Delight" in 1979. His journey to live the culture was enhanced during the massive relocation boom of New Yorkers throughout the 80s which gave South Florida the nickname, "The 6th Borough." His enthusiasm lead him into the skills of Lyricism, Graff Writing, and Track Producing and now writes for Old School Scholar.
This week, we introduce to you the first kung fu cult classic that swept North America shortly after the mainstream release of Enter the Dragon. This was the movie that ushered the United States into kung fu mania. Have you ever witnessed the 5 Fingers of Death (aka King Boxer or Number One Fist in the World)? Lo Lieh’s break-through flick that brought kung fu movies to the streets, and since then we never looked back!
If you have never ever seen 5 Fingers of Death, then you ain’t down by law, people! And when you do, you remember the name of the first kung fu superstar in the world, Lo Lieh! He was the cinematic prototype for all martial arts legends ever since! Thanks to his films reaching North America, and the success of future Shaw Brothers releases, the seeds of inspiration were planted for the incoming Hip Hop culture and B-Boy dance.
I will say no more!
Enjoy!
