I made this video for all the fans who grew up watching this on weekends.
Kung fu theatre - Saturdays best show!

Long ago there used to be this magical set up on television called UHF stations. These were extra channels that complimented the 3 big networks that you picked up on the antennae. The best part of UHF was that you had the local networks that featured such great entertainment like Creature Double Feature (Godzilla, Rodan, Gamera, Etc.), Cartoon Cavalcade, and of course Kung Fu Theatre.

Early Saturday mornings was devoid of life until afternoon. That?s when young boys flew out of their homes and squared off with each other. "Huh! Hung-si Quan, you (bleep)!". "Show me your tiger-claw,!" would emanate from boys lip syncing like their heroes on Kung Fu Theatre. "My fanged snake-strike will finish you!", would be the reply.

Yes Kung Fu Theatre was a staple in the 70's and 80's. Every Saturday you would be tuned in to watch such greats as, The Five Deadly Venoms. Or Master of the Flying Guillotine. Chinese Super Ninjas was an all time favorite with their tricked out weapons and various levels of villains.

Oh this was a simpler time. A more peaceful time. Kung Fu Theatre was a window to a strange and mystical land. Where everyone you met was a bad guy that you would have to fight to the death for whatever reason. And everyone could leap half a mile and fight with one arm falling off and blood spurting from your body like Niagara Falls in the spring.

On Kung Fu Theatre, old masters would beat their most promising pupil senseless and then endow them with the skills to avenge their imminent death at the hands of an evil rival usually a former student gone bad.

The poor, but decent young pupil would suffer a merciless beating by Lung-wa, the most evil man in the providence. Only to be saved, beaten, and trained by a kindly master. And then avenge that master's death.

Some poor woman would be attacked by several evil men. Saved by the young, tortured pupil. Then she would fight for his love, losing out to his need to avenge the death of his master.

The main villain would beat people up for no reason. Savagely attack the young pupil, but not kill him. Kill his former master. And then be dispatched by the young pupil who learned a really cool move from the great master before he died.

Yes, Kung Fu Theatre was the Bad Mamma Jamma of Kung Fu movie classics for all us Kung Fu maniacs. Saturdays were a golden day where a young man could be entertained by exaggerated martial arts kickingbuttness. And then go outside and attempt the very same moves/techniques on his friends and family. Jumping in and of trees, up and off buildings, soaring threw the air wasn't as easy as they were on film! Oh if only Kung Fu Theatre was still around.
