Welcome boys and girls to Kung Fu Theater Week! This week I will tackle the genre of Martial
Arts Movies or affectionately referred as Kung Fu and Ninja movies. This particular craze starts in the 1960’s up
the 1980’s and the Americans got to experience these splendid films from the
lazy bijous, the drive-in theater to
cable television, we saw these films with either English subtitles or voice
dubbing which does take away a lot of the dialogue but the essence of the film
is still there.

Western civilization got to appreciate Eastern philosophy,
discipline and ways of life but brings everything that we already have to our
own story lines. Warriors combating barbarians,
wizards against sorcerers and good versus evil these films cover the current
timeline and fantasy based with monsters and men aplenty. Admittedly there are more than a few very
violent films or having disturbing content to them and frankly they are
considered Grind house movies but most are gems that get overlooked so this
week I shall comprise a collection of favorites and cult beloved.
