Man with the Iron Fists - Written/Directed/Starring RZA

[OmegaK2099]

I think the editing was the issue on the fight scenes, too many close ups and quick cuts. The impossible stuff and wire work looked like a couple of the old Jet Li flicks style. The over-complicated moves and wire work...not unheard of in old school flicks.

i cant stand the fong sai yuk legend series from jet li, them sh1ts were aust awfull jet li legend fight scene1 - YouTube

i cant stand wu xia..those wire fu is not my cup of tea..maybe in zu warriors and one other golden harvest flick made in the early 80's? Duel to the death.

Yuen woo ping went batshyt crazy with that shyt and it was entertaining in wong fei hung 1 and 2 but got bored of it.

I was still surprised applied this shyt to his movie..

I was expecting fight scenes along the lines of this from the rza :

[ame=http://youtu.be/BHSX850VgOE]The Best of Kung Fu: The weapons 1 - YouTube[/ame]

the fight choreographer is such a sh1tty fight choreographer he did the transporter and some other flick he has at least 2 good flicks under his belt, the other is mos def righting wrongs with yuen biao and cynthia rothrock i think if it wasnt for rzas intervention he saved this from being a complete tragedy

Gordan Liu was playing the Abbott IE 36 chambers of shaolin..that was a perfect tribute!

Wish the rza did something like robert tai did..i know it was nuts but still had top gung fu action!

yall gotta remember RZA did this on a 20mil budget. I def thought he went a lil overboard on the close camera angles and cuts

My only complaint is that the fight scenes lacked hand to hand/counters like old school flicks and it was missing the grunts and sound effects Kung Fu Sound Effects - YouTube

yall do remember that this is RZA's second martial arts movie? he also made Wu-Tang Vs. The Golden Phoenix which is exactly like what yall are suggesting, old school, hand to hand, low budget, no wires, only it hasn't been released and all the footage got pulled from youtube. I'm hoping he releases it as a DVD extra or something.

As for Iron Fist, I loved this shyt, but I love wuxia so im cool.

Weekend Report: 'Ralph' Wrecks It, 'Flight' Cruises - Box Office Mojo

The Man with the Iron Fists debuted in fourth place with $7.9 million from 1,868 theaters. While that's about in line with what Universal Pictures was expecting, it's still on the lower end among comparable titles. The movie should do decent business overseas, at least, thanks to the stark visuals, kung fu action and presence of Russell Crowe, but it's still a domestic disappointment. The Man with the Iron Fists snagged a poor "C+" CinemaScore from an audience that was 64 percent male and 53 percent under the age of 30, and it should get crushed next weekend against direct competition from Skyfall.

1 N Wreck-It Ralph BV $49,038,712

2 N Flight Par. $24,900,566

3 1 Argo WB $10,209,103

4 N The Man with the Iron Fists Uni. $7,910,980

way overproduced

the hair, makeup, costumes, and voices

this is not kung fu

You ever seen an old kung fu flick?

The hair and wardrobe was spot on...

Duel to the Death is forever classic...These dudes somehow jumping off their swords to fly like a hundred yards into the middle of the lake for a tea...epic stuff for no damned reason.
