Rza says something like this in the intro to Can It Be...
Back in day..Back in '79? Nah '87 that was my favorite shit...

Film Comment about his devotion to martial arts: How did you originally get interested in the genre?
RZA: In 1979, my cousin took me to 42nd Street to see some kung fu movies and I was blown away. We started going every weekend after that. There was a movie directed by Chang Chen called Five Deadly Venoms [78] and when I saw it, I was totally geeked out. The plot was crazy, and the characters . . . The Toad, the Lizard, the Scorpion, the Snake, the Centipede! They seemed like superheroes. And there were no guns or weapons, just hand-to-hand fighting.
