Wu-Tang Clan And The Once Upon A Time In Shaolin Caper

Members of the Wu-Tang Clan with Bill Murray.

By now everybody knows about the Wu-Tang Clan selling their single-copy album The Wu-Once Upon A Time In Shaolin to the seventh most hated person on the planet, pharmacology exploiter Martin Shkreli.

As sad as we are knowing this will probably never happen, Sarah took the time to assess the various Wu members’ martial arts skills to judge whether or not they actually could pull off such a caper.

Now the movie is getting a reboot with the next edition Kickboxer Vengeance.

Sarah has been monitoring all the deets about the new film for Fightland so when the first teaser footage appeared it was legit news.
