A dirty little secret of this blogging game is that I can’t post every single trailer I come across. But when I get an email saying “RZA’s directorial debut is a martial arts epic set in 19th century China and co-starring Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu,” you better believe it’s going up post-haste. Also, this banner image is RZA punching out a guy’s eyeball. Yep, that happened.
Co-written by Eli Roth and starring Jamie Chung from Sucker Punch in a supporting role, it’s hard to predict where on the ridiculous/awesome – ridiculous/stupid spectrum this is going to fall. It’s actually pretty hard to find that balance. I don’t know much about RZA’s directing skills, but he was awesome in Funny People. He might be the best actor in the Wu Tang. Regardless, I’ll definitely be seeing this. I just feel bad for the makeup girl. Just imagine having to clean buffalo sauce off Russell Crowe’s fancy mustache between every take. The Man with the Iron Stomach, they called him.

“You call that a knoife? That’s not a knoife. THIS is a knoife.” (*Russell Crowe’s knife spins around*)

So let me get this straight. Jax, Katana, & Aussie Stryker are in a tournament fighting against Cyrax? Color me shocked!
I love this movie so much I want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant.
did i see cung le in the closing credits? if so, i hope a guy with an ax murders him. art imitating life
I’m setting the over under on Batista Bombs at 4.5. The over under on how many female co-stars/extras Big Dave had sex with during filming is 12.5.
The right metal would have been steel, not iron. That technicality aside, I am very excited for this movie.
Tattooed Golden version of Colossus from X-men, Russell Crowe being what I can only assume is 19th century Han Solo, Lucy Liu imitating Lucy Liu’s character from Kill Bill, and Rza as Kick Puncher?
I am gonna watch the shit out of this movie.
See, now that’s a move I can stick my dick into.
movie*
I am so in. I already want the soundtrack.
And if I wrote/directed a movie, I’d write in a scene(s) where I bang Jamie Chung too
I’m pretty sure this movie was formed from the essence of my twelve year old mind.
RZA CONNECT
::passes out from blood rushing to nerd boner::
Chuck the Truck beating the shit out of Robin Hood and then blasting out a line of coke on Jamie Chung’s ass or GTFO
If Tyler Perry was in this movie the tagline would have been “You don’t Iron Fist…the man with the iron fists”
