said what he said
I don't want anything spoiled, but I have to ask...How much is this like Yojimbo?

i doubt it'll be anything like yojimbo. i'd expect it to be closer to shogun assassin in terms of gratuitous amounts of gore (especially since eli roth is involved). rza's character might have some elements of the samurai from yojimbo.

Because its trash obviously.
I’m not an expert in the field, but I’m relatively fluent in it if only through osmosis of the last decade-and-a-half of movies, and thus I’ll confess, I find RZA’s The Man With The Iron Fists doubly baffling. RZA, obviously a longtime fan of the genre, has made a film that assumes no one has ever seen a kung fu movie before. There’s nothing new added, nothing inventive or clever, nothing out of the ordinary except for the fact that it has RZA in it. The movie is, bizarrely, almost entirely barren of humor, which is just deadly for a film like this. (Only Russell Crowe, playing an English soldier with a taste for knives, seems to realize he’s in a ridiculous movie and acts accordingly. Honestly, the RZA-Black Keys video has about 15 more laughs than this whole film.)
RZA has said he learned how to direct movies by watching Tarantino on the set of Kill Bill, so I might suggest to him that he take better notes, more notes, or both; his action scenes are blurry and so quickly-cut that you can’t tell what’s happening, a major problem for the type of movie he’s trying to make. He also casts Lucy Liu in a somewhat similar role—in an almost exact setting, in fact—to what she played in that film, with considerably inferior results. It’s a Tarantino-esque chopsocky film made with 1/100th of Tarantino’s skill. It’s about as unwatchable as that sounds.
Hopefully hes just a hater, friends.

The guy claims he learned some form of expertise through osmosis about kung fu movies...but he learned about them by watching americanized Jackie Chan movies...His word holds no weight after that. People that are REAL fans of the genre and movie credits all admit that the movie is flawed but a very nice homage to the old school kung fu flicks that this guy apparently has no real knowledge of.
