My TiVo<\/a> just found a new show from Tommy Boy Films called Kung Faux<\/i><\/a>. (What would I do without my TiVo working so hard for me?) It’s a series of Kung Fu films over-dubbed with the voices of hip-hop artists and a soundtrack to match. The episode I just watched was voiced by Guru, Jean Grae, Sadat X, and Roc Raida to name a few. The show comes on Fuse, which was formerly MuchMusic<\/a>. If you don’t get that channel it’s also available on DVD<\/a> and online<\/a>. Here’s a snippet of a more complete review<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nSomewhere in between “South Park,” “Jackass” and a Method Man and Redman album is Much Music USA’s new television program and DVD “Kung Faux.” The creators consist of graphic designers, graffiti artists, video editors and rappers.<\/p>\n

What they do is boil all the action from an old, cheesy Kung Fu movie down into a easily digestible half-hour episode, add cool graphics and “Pop-Up Video” effects, then dub over all the original lines with hip-hop lingo, while still staying true to the original plot of the movie.<\/p>\n

For instance, lets say there is a meeting between a Kung Fu master and his apprentice. Instead of “Oh, Daniel Son, you must catch fly before you break every bone in that guy,” the dialogue would be something like: “Yo, son, why you trippin’? I’ll teach you game, but first you gotta earn this shit, dig?” Needless to say, it is a riot.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
