No desire to delve into why this movie is the worst movie of all time, in the entire history of movies. I don't want to waste an extra minute admitting that I watched it. I wish the scene where they cut off his arms was real so that he may never make another movie, or at least have an excuse as to why the movie was so bad. The premise is genuinely damaged. Even for a stupid movie (something like Austin Powers where the premise is MEANT to be stupid). But no, this movie actually takes itself seriously.

This film had so much potential to be one of the greatest cheesiest films ever made but the Rza totally sucked so bad at his attempt in acting. I was totally digging the soundtrack and his directing. Special effects were pretty cool. Nice ensemble of actors. Your classic kung fu movie plot. Everything was great but I cringed at every scene where the Rza tried to act. It was painful. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but love and respect for the Rza, but don't quit your day job. Bottom line is, this movie would have been great had the man with the iron fists been played by anybody else :/

Has everything expected from a throwback kung fun film with a star studded cast from Russell Crow to Lucy Lieu and even Chung Le of MMA fame. Other than some weak acting here and there, this movie is extremely self conscious and executed well. Well done RZA, I hope to see more from you.
