Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Hong Kong Shaw Brothers Martial Arts Movie of 1981 staring and directed by Gordon (Chia Hui) Liu. Also known as Shaolin vs Wu Tangnote No, not that Wu Tang, but they were inspired by this movie in some of the early dubs.Two best friends belong to rival kung fu factions. They are Chao Fung-Wu of Wu Tang sword style and Hung Jun-kit (played by Liu himself) of the Shaolin boxing. Hung Jun-Kit has a sister, Yan-Ling, who has a crush on his best friend, Chao Fung-Wu. Each student, of course, has a master, and both masters are NOT aware that their respective students are best friends. It wouldn't be appropriate since their schools are bitter rivals. Wu-tang's founder was actually expelled from Shaolin!So anyway, the two friends go out to drink and when one throws some thugs out of the brothel in which the friends are drinking, they both have a friendly sparring match to show off their Kung Fu.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Manchu Prince hears of their sparring and remarks "The Shaolin and Wu Tang could be dangerous (if they merge their respective styles into a stronger kung fu)." He vows to learn both styles. He invites Hung Jun-Kit's (Shaolin) master over for dinner, but the master refuses to teach him. Worried about a similar reaction from Chao Fung-Wu's master, Master Law (or Lao) he hatches a plan to gain the secrets of both. | |

Sampling | |
| Shaolin and Wu Tang / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling/Sampled Up: The reason many more people outside of the kung fu fandom remember this is because of the extensive number of samples the Wu-Tang Clan made from this movie. The line "the game of chess is like a sword fight: you must think first before you move", sampled in "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'", comes from this movie, and not - surprisingly - from The Mystery Of Chessboxing. This movie's director and star, Gordon Liu, also appeared in The Man with the Iron Fists, directed by RZA. You can see RZA talk a bit more about this movie and other kung fu flicks that influenced Wu-Tang's music in this video produced by Vanity Fair. | |

Hong Kong Dub | |
| Shaolin and Wu Tang / int_51a12a6f | comment |
Hong Kong Dub: This film is quite interesting in that there are subtitles AND a dub. The subtitles seems to be somewhat direct translations and the dub is more creative. Nevertheless, the subtitles seems to be set in wide-screen while the movie is set in standard resolution. This means that the subtitles are often cut off. | |

Idiot Ball: Chao-Fung Wu when the Manchu Prince and his attendant tell him that it was the Shaolin who poisoned his master and despite his master telling him not to give the Wu Tang teachings to the Manchu and Hung Jun-kit telling him it wasn't true, he believes the lie until the climax. | |

Revenge Before Reason: Slightly subverted in that the two side don't fight to the death in the end of the film. The two protagonists turn on the big bad instead. | |

Just Between You and Me: The Manchu Prince, during Chao Fung-Wu and Hung Jun-kit's battle after becoming the representatives for their individual styles, grows tired of their restraint and begins explaining his plan to have the styles destroy each other and his own stolen knowledge of the two styles. This is a terrible mistake on his part. | |
