I think it has something to do with Eli Roth not having enough faith in Rza as a movie director.
One thing that stands out most are the boring ass fight scnes, youd think a dude who knows almost every kung fu flick in the book would know not to make them so uninspiring, You got Cung Le on set and all you can do is just cut quick shots of him doing some moves? X blade was dope but they only have him like 2 minutes to show off his skills quickly, then at the end he has like the worst slo mo fight scene.
I did dig the soundtrack and some of the non fighting scenes like the one's with jack knife and Silver Lion, but for whatever reason that sh1t didnt feel like a kung fu movie. outside of the first scene of course ^^^
I know they left like 2 more hours worth of scenes on the cutting room floor, If theyre going to make a sequel to that sh1t those scenes better be some diabolical shyt or rza hopefully learning his lesson from this sh1t goes on to make a better film.
