Kung Fu Friday: The Man With The Iron Fists (2012)

Every fourth Friday of every month this year,
I'll be checking out a kung fu movie of any period.
Gives me an excuse to kick the walls and break blocks of wood.
Also gives me the excuse to go to I Luv Video or Vulcan Video
and catch up on some great kung fu flicks out there.

Went to the theatre for tonight's movie:





















The Man With The Iron Fists
Not bad! Not bad at all.
As a matter of fact, I thought almost the
whole thing was a lot of fun.
Good kung fu references.
The ending was weak and RZA being 
the main actor was a bad choice but
other than that, this is a great tribute to kung fu films.
All the other characters were pretty awesome too.
This movie is made for fans of kung fu.
A lot of people who went to see it, saw it because of RZA.
That audience probably didn't get some of the style of this movie.
It worked for me.
Just like other kung fu films,
it starts out not knowing what the hell is going on.
Lots of characters.
Then little by little, you start catching up.
Russell Crowe's character, Jack, was pretty cool with his bad ass dagger gun.
A few cool fighting scenes, some exaggerated blood, and
cheesy moments, makes this a good kung fu late night movie.
Never to take seriously.
