RZA explains that the names of Wu-Tang Clan members are largely inspired by kung fu movies. He specifically mentions that 'Old Dirty Bastard' comes from a dubbed version of a kung fu film, and that the 'drunken style' of fighting, exemplified by characters like the one in 'Drunk Master,' influenced their performance style. This connection to martial arts cinema provided a unique philosophical and aesthetic foundation for the group.
Impact: Medium. This origin story for the Wu-Tang names reveals a deliberate artistic choice rooted in cinematic influences, adding a layer of depth to their iconic monikers.
