Member Space Posted December 31, 2010 Member Share Posted December 31, 2010 I wish I had RZA's money for a project like this. He's a real fan and has been studying kung fu under Shi Yan Ming for a while now but his movies all seem half-baked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a real fan and has been studying kung fu under Shi Yan Ming for a while now but his movies all seem half-baked. Me too. I'd use his money to get the Stunt people going on a bigger budget. Truth is he isn't using his own money. I'd bet any KFC forums member would use their money to fund a MA film if they had the funds RZA has . clearly he's all talk. Imagine Stunt People with his money... RZA should feel ashamed. He could fund so much more without affecting his lifestyle. RZA should be ashamed ! If I had his money I'd produce what I love. RZA is all talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted January 2, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 2, 2011 So this movie is going to release this year 2011??? It's possible...it is currently shooting right now in China. But you know how distribution goes, so we'll have to wait and see to get an official response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Space Posted January 3, 2011 Member Share Posted January 3, 2011 what movies? OK, you got me, I guess he never finished Wu-Tang vs. The Golden Phoenix. Too bad, it looked like it was filmed on a flip camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jeru the Damaja Posted January 12, 2011 Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 It looks like fine ass Lucy Liu is on board with this one now as well. http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.13651/title.lucy-liu-joins-rzas-the-man-with-the-iron-fists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted January 12, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 12, 2011 So is Byron Mann, who played Ryu in Van Damme's Street Fighter. Christopher Doyle is doing the camerawork as the cinematographer and Corey Yuen is the film's action director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted January 13, 2011 Member Share Posted January 13, 2011 Who's the main lead???? The guy who's gonna do all the ass kicking, is it the RZA, really??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted January 13, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 13, 2011 The RZA himself is in the lead role. He plays a blacksmith who must save the village he works in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted January 13, 2011 Member Share Posted January 13, 2011 I understand bringing a proper kung fu film to a mainstream audience requires Hollywood pulling power but I can't help expecting more form the Rza. I thought he may have drafted in some old school legends or even new school talent to really thicken out the martial arts action. Ok, so the name Corey Yuen has been synonymous with classic martial arts cinema but it's also synonymous with "Dead or Alive." Am I being overly pessimistic?

Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted January 14, 2011 Member Share Posted January 14, 2011 Tien Peng in his latter roles as a sword swashbuckler often was in fights where his every first or second blow were lethal to most lesser men. Of course the caliber of ones martial art must be of high standing.....take the example of modern day cage matches ....most of the times these supposed martial artists end up on the floor hugging themselves silly.....we don't see this too often in the kung fu movies.....but then we need a good fight to make the movies interesting.....legend says that a modern Tai Chi Master and a Ba Qua Master fought.... going around each other........ for three days before the Ba Qua Master had a slight advantage and proved the point....... The one inch punch is not mastered by many people....of any martial art.....Lets see if the WuTang man can prove his point.....he may well do it.....after all they gave us a nice assortment of kung fu movies on VHS...... did they not.....?

Member AlbertV Posted January 18, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm guessing it will be a hybrid of styles...especially with Dave Batista playing a character reminiscent of the Toad from FIVE VENOMS. According to IMDB (i'm taking this with grain of salt until confirmed), his character is "Brass Body". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member peringaten Posted January 21, 2011 Member Share Posted January 21, 2011 Even though it doesn't appear to be publicised elsewhere (unless I'm much mistaken) Gordon Liu's personal website states he's been working on this film. http://www.mastergordon.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted January 21, 2011 Member Share Posted January 21, 2011 While I wish there were more martial artists involved, I'm still really excited by the cast of this movie. Hopefully a trailer surfaces soon, so that people can undoubtedly rip the shit out of it:tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
