Member Drunken Monk Posted June 29, 2012 Member Share Posted June 29, 2012 This was the snippet that pissed me off so much. Why must everyone try to pull off some kind of original CGI assisted action? It looks dumb. On the other hand, having had the opportunity to view the trailer as suggested and not filmed on a camera someone crammed up their butt, I look forward to the film for the most part...just not the elements I hoped it would have. I just don't think this is the Shaw Brothers/golden era kung fu homage I wanted. It looks more "House of Flying Daggers" and less "Daggers 8."

Member loempiavreter Posted June 30, 2012 Member Share Posted June 30, 2012 I think it looks interesting, there's a lot of cool gadget-like weaponary going in that trailer, just like you'll find in some classic Shaw bros. or Taiwanese swordplay flicks. Think lots of people went into the movie with the wrong expectations, yeah RZA is a big fan of the classic work. But he already stated in interviews that this flick was going to be less Shaw Bros. and more Once Upon a Time in China (ok i don't really see it in here as well, but tbh I don't care that much about OUATIC... so i'm quite satisfied at what I see here). But personally I can't wait to see this flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member loempiavreter Posted July 7, 2012 Member Share Posted July 7, 2012 I just realized how similar the setup of this flick is with "The kid with the golden arm". A transport of gold is the target for several clans, duo's and individuals (ok in kid with golden arms only has gang assaulting the cargo). I see a bit of an amalgation of several venom flicks in MWTIF. Life's gamble, crippled avengers as well next to KWTGA. The title also sounds similar to The kid with the golden arm.

Member Michael L. Posted July 15, 2012 Member Share Posted July 15, 2012 I was not excited by the trailer at all... it looks like a mess. This was only reinforced today when I saw an interview with RZA at Comic Con and he stated the film is 96 minutes, edited down from FOUR HOURS!!!

Member kaleyboy Posted July 16, 2012 Member Share Posted July 16, 2012 Way too much CGI, I'll pass on this one. Agree also with Michael's comment, it looks all over the place. RZA should maybe stick to music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Michael L. Posted July 16, 2012 Member Share Posted July 16, 2012 The thing is if it makes money it'll set up a whole trend in overly FX'ed contrived pseudo-kung fu flicks. They are already talking trilogy. At least the soundtrack shouldn't suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dadadove Posted July 17, 2012 Member Share Posted July 17, 2012 For all the naysayers out there....Lau Kar Fai is in this flick. Now, that doesn't necessarily say a lot these days, given his CGI performance in The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, but this most certainly could be his last film role, given his stroke. I don't even know how big his role is. I do, however, hate knowing it was so long and maybe two movies and then was cut down so much. Seven Swords was originally 4 hours and was cut to about 2:30 or so and it definitely has parts that seem to be missing things. I'm not a fan of a lot of Kill Bill, but I do generally like Tarantino films, so I'll watch this for sure. Plus....RZA! Lucy Liu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted August 18, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2012 The second trailer for this movie has just been released....and as much as I hoped the lesson was learnt from the first one and that this one will highlight some good one on one kung-fu....unfortunately it's not a whole lot different from the first, with perhaps the addition of even more CGI blood, and it doesn't even look that well done. On a final note, is it just me, or do both of the trailers that have been released for this contain hardly any footage of the actual 'Man With the Iron Fists'....RZA!? Considering he's the title character, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a Russell Crowe & Lucy Liu starring vehicle from what's been put out there.
