‘70s Kung Fu classic ‘Master of the Flying Guillotine’ and the Krautrock connection
The classic ‘70s Kung Fu movie Master of the Flying Guillotine (directed and starring the badass Jimmy Wang Yu) used two songs by Neu! in the soundtrack, “Super” and “Super 16.” Both are from the Neu! 2 album.
Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk are also heard in the film. The same Neu! songs were also used in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill soundtrack in an obvious homage to Master of the Flying Guillotine. Listen to Neu’s “Super” here.
You can watch Master of the Flying Guillotine on YouTube. Probably not the ideal way to watch a film like this, the opening credits are still worth a look.
