Celebrating the amusing lapses in grammar and logic and the wild, fun ride that Hong Kong subtitles give to English-speaking fans. There is no such thing as a bad subtitle if the sentiment is conveyed properly!
We've got a tee design that pays tribute to the coolest of oldschool kung fu movie heroes, Wong Fei Hung as portrayed by Kwan Tak Hing.
Kwan Tak Hing played Master Wong, who was a real-life Chinese doctor and kung fu hero, in at least 77 films, a record for recurring film roles as a single character. Being a doctor, Master Wong would always treat the villains after he was done whupping them in battle. Most of the old Wong Fei Hung films are lost, but if you want to check out a couple of great movies, seek out MAGNIFICENT BUTCHER and DREADNAUGHT.
SHELF LIFE CLOTHING COMPANY is part of a graphic, web, audio and t-shirt design studio daringly based in glamorous Cleveland, OH. Why Cleveland? Why not? Our screenprinting is done right here, and we get to see Lebron James play all the time.
We make high-end, limited run, 100% ring-spun soft cotton shirts with a humorous underground vibe.
We source our blank shirts from American companies, ANVIL KNITWEAR and AMERICAN APPAREL, ensuring our products are environmentally and socially conscious.
Our inspirations are drawn from a wide array of pop culture imagery – particularly from classic Japanese, Hong Kong and Bollywood cinema, 60s spy movies, vintage rock album art, WWII aviation art, spaghetti westerns; eurotrash cinema, and pro sports – Shelf Life makes a point of paying eye-popping tribute to unsung B-movie classics while also satirizing commonplace ideas and delusional behaviors.
Our designs have been discussed and featured by a diverse range of media, including ESPN, The Plain Dealer, Salt Lake Tribune, DIME magazine and Film Score Monthly.
We take great care in making quality shirts that you will look cool wearing!
