Shaolin Wooden Men (1976)
Mexican Lobby Card

Back in the 1970s, to catch a martial arts movie, you had to find a theater running them. Those theaters were not your usual mainstream fare ones. This was also known as, oh yeah, go to Times Square in New York City and mind the theater seat you sit in, because you never know what they were playing before the Kung Fu movies hit the screen. Or you had to find a more offbeat theater running Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan (yup, a misspelling on the card) or some Chinese martial arts opus somewhere in the more interesting areas of the city. But boy were those movies worth it. Between the horror movies and martial arts movies, and the graffiti, it was certainly a colorful time for those seeking different cinema fare. This poster-like Mexican lobby card packs a nice punch with its illustration and inset action scene.
