Another Shaolin outing with Wu-Tang.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.-- The Wu-Tang Clan are back on Staten Island, and they've brought vintage cars and fake barbershops with them.

Confused? Take a walk down Port Richmond Avenue and it'll all make sense. Cast and crew for "Wu-Tang: An American Saga" were spotted on the block Monday morning filming outside a shop with an awning that read "Lee's Rib Shack."

The Hulu series, in production now, will tell the story of Staten Island's superstar rap group, before they were famous.

Crew began filming early in the morning and planned to move to a second Staten Island location on the North Shore after they filmed scenes outdoors and on Port Richmond Avenue.

Set had a 'vintage 90's' look.

A source with knowledge of the production said the street's storefronts were re-designed to have a "vintage 90's look." Film trucks have been spotted in Park Hill -- where Wu-Tang was originally formed-- and Clifton. The production is set to film around the borough throughout the summer.

"We're trying to make this production as authentic as possible," a source from the film's location department said the last time SILive visited set. "We'll be here for the next six months going around to a lot of locations."

Sources confirmed Vincent Pastore, best known for his role on "The Soprano's" was on the Port Richmond Avenue set. Cameras were stationed inside "Lee's Rib Shack."

This barbershop is not a barbershop.

In designing the set, "An American Saga" crew took what is typically a medical clinic and made the exterior into a barbershop.

The design took a few days to make and will be in the background of multiple shots, a source said.

Not all residents are happy about the commotion.

While there wasn't much foot traffic on Port Richmond Avenue on Monday morning, local business owners on the block have expressed annoyance with spots outside their establishments being taken by production trucks.

"They just park in front of my shop when I'm scheduled to get deliveries, it's very frustrating," a source who wished to remain anonymous said. "This has been going on for the last four to five weeks. This is my busy season, they're killing me."

Residents were notified to keep parking spots vacant before filming began via signage around the neighboring blocks.
