WHERE MY KILLA SHIRT AT?!

Just finished toiling over a hot laptop and buggy iMovie ’08 to bring you this new video.  PTP proudly presents to you…the KILLA SHIRT (aka the “Woo Tang”, aka the “John Wu”, aka the “Woo Wu”, aka the “Tony Wza”)!

The ad is a short edit of an original idea, therefore it is only hints to how this shirt fully reps all that killa shit.  A double-tribute…tied together in light of this weekend’s promise of Wu doing the entire Enter The 36 Chambers at Rock The Bells.  That ain’t no small shit, so PTP figured it was time to do something this serious…and wearable.

On the front, a bold and timeless frame off of John Woo’s masterpiece, The Killer (one of my favorites of all time).  Flip it over and you have the classic Raekwon quote (off of Enter The 36…‘s “7th Chamber” intro…)…all silkscreened as a classy purple and black color print.  To add on, remember our favorite album that retained a nickname which was then adopted as part of the namesake to this very website?  Yes, that Purple Tape.  That Purple Tape which was enveloped in audio snippets from the same John Woo work of art as referenced on the Killa Shirt along with words from the favored wordsmith behind said album.  Full circle.  Everything is everything.

purple tape quotes

I always save the last bullet. Either for myself, or for my enemy.


As the clip title suggests, one of the many 1st impression-worthy scenes (if you only have a few minutes to preview this classic for someone who has yet to be truly blessed by its cinematic grace).
When preparing this DVD for viewing, I’m greeted by a most pleasurable conflict in having to choose between subtitles (to hear the original language/voices) or the English dub (blame that all on the original Purple Tape). I think the dub is winning that race…

heroic bloodshed, gun fu…an ode to unlimited clips

all your movies bit steez…

Two favorites from the Far East…

1989


1992

John Woo and Chow Yun Fat at their respective primes…file under “emotional violence” (said loosely since both films are not to be overlooked as mere build-ups to multi-angled, gun-blast exploitation…though there is some of that, but done in the best way).
