I’ve been wasting a good amount of time today reliving my Saturday afternoons of the early 1980s. I think I missed my calling as a kung fu dubbing artist. Or a kung fu make-up artist. Or a kung fu script translator. Or a kung fu cinematographer. Or a kung fu editor. (There is a lot of art in kung fu.)

Watch this clip, and then choose from the following words to create your own kung fu title:

SHAOLIN
JADE
DRAGON
MASTER
FIST
DEADLY
INVINCIBLE
MANTIS

You never know what you’re going to find in these Shaw Brothers classics. I was unsuccessful locating a movie I remember that used music from Leo Delibes’ ballet “Sylvia.” I did, however, find this one that shamelessly violates John Williams’ copyright on “Star Wars.” (I believe the subtitles are in Danish!)

How I miss those halcyon Saturdays, watching “Kung Fu Theater” with my best pal.
