I have seen Wu Du (Five Deadly Venoms) but I did not realize that there were sequels.  I will have to track down some of those films.

FIVE DEADLY VENOMS was ok, but you might like THE EIGHTEEN BRONSEMEN or  SHAOLIN TEMPLE AGAINST LAMA better. I enjoyed both of them. Many more to look at though.

It's a sign how much the name "Wu Tang" has co-opted by the rap group that a title like "Wu Tang vs The Nation" conjures up images in my mind of the RZA, the GZA, Ghost Faced Killa, Ol' Dirty Bastard and Co. fighting it out with crusading leftist journalists like Eric Alterman, Katha Pollit, and Katrina vanden Heuvel.

Yea, these tapes have alot of rap stuff at the beginning that I fast forward thru, but one tape had a 5 minute preview of Japanese Wrestling with barbwire matches, exploding tables, and even exploding wreslting ring match. Amazing stuff with Terry Funk, Sabu, and Tanaka all done in Japan.
