FotNS was based on chinese manhua and movies, Kenshiro himself was based on Bruce Lee.
Western 'monks' are indeed inspired by the Shaolin Monks, but for today's pop culture, FotNS still has more influence. Especially for Japanese games, 'Hyakuretsu' is blantantly used in every rapid punch or kick name, from Chun Li's Hyakuretsu Kyaku, FF Tactics, SRW, etc. all the way down to the attack of a jellyfish monster's attack in Eternal Sonata.
Like Kill Bill's Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, came straight from FotNS.
