I was originally going to feature Five Deadly Venoms for today’s installment of The Art of War Theater, however I chose instead to go with the 1979 flick, Mystery of Chess Boxing, a film directed by Joseph Kuo. This same film was inspiration for a wide range of Wu related cultural references, including the title track name for Enter the Wu-Tang’s Da Mystery of Chessboxin, Ghostface Killah’s name, which was inspired by Mark Long’s character, Ghost Faced Killer, and also dialogue sampled and used for Ghostface’s Poisonous Darts off Ironman. Enjoy!
