The 'Kung Fu' Kid

There's a kind of surreal synchronicity to this story that deserves mentioning. This weekend, Jackie Chan dominated the box office with his take on the '80s classic The Karate Kid. Oddly enough, 14 years ago, the Irish punk band Ash wrote a song called "Kung Fu" which referenced Chan, the aforementioned Ralph Macchio vehicle, and various aspects of the martial arts movie genre. Then, to take matters to even further karmic extremes, the tune was used in the Hong Kong action god's mainstream American hit, Rumble in the Bronx. So in celebration of such far thinking creative coincidences, click on the clip above and enjoy some hard rock, ass-kicking...ass kicking. Oh kung fu, do what you do to me.
