Cultural Impact; A Hero is Born!
The Kung Fu boom was partly fueled by enormous international popularity. In the West, Kung Fu imports, dubbed and often recut and retitled, shown as "B" films in urban theaters and on television, made Hong Kong film widely noticed for the first time. African-Americans particularly embraced the genre (as exemplified by the popular hip-hop group, the Wu-Tang Clan) perhaps as an almost unprecedented source of adventure stories with non-white heroes, who furthermore often displayed a strong streak of racial and/or nationalistic pride.
The popularity of these movies in North America would continue into the 1980s when ninja movies were introduced. In popular culture, the films of this era were colloquially known as
Kung Fu Theater or Black Belt Theater
, names that many independent stations used for their weekly airing slot.Slide5
