kar-a-te bitches
Waaaaay back in 1999 or 2000, which is an eternity in interwebz years, I came across this hilarious online series that took old kung-fu movies and re-dubbed them with hip-hop theme music and rap star voice-overs. The result, enough laughs to fill your pants full of last nights moo-goo-gai-pan. I’ve been loosely looking for it lately and finally found it using the very intuitive google search “old kung-fu movies dubbed over with rap star voice overs and hip hop” buried at the bottom of the third page. The title of the series, Kung Faux. They made it into a TV series at one point in 2003, but I’ve only ever seen it online on heavy.com or dubtitled.com. Somebody uploaded the first episode “The ill-master” to youtube in three parts, I’ve embedded the first part below, links to the other two parts of the episode are listed below the embedded player. Enjoy bitches.

Good shit! I hadn’t seen that stuff before.
I also thought Kung Pow was fucking funny.
Kung Pow was freaking hysterical.
this is a solid Win. definitely post the rest
Hahaha. That is so funny. What software did you use to remix it?
I have a PC with Windows XP and want to get something to make basic videos.
I want to be able to put different videos together, add music or other sound, and add text.
A few visual effects would be cool too.
hm: holla at your boy
crag/Kerstin: agreed, i thought kung pow was funny as hell too. the guys that made kung faux either went on to make kung pow, or somebody stole their idea and made it. i’m not sure which scenario played out.
tm: you betcha
adam: i can’t take credit for it, i just found it and posted it… it would take me a thousand years to mix something like that together, and i don’t have the skillz…
My god was that gold.
THANK YOU!
