    Have you guys heard about this one yet? It's basically the RZA's brain child (for all you old farts, he's from the Wu-Tang Clan.) It looks like a fantastic kung fu movie, with the screenplay written by RZA, and some (or all?) of the music is done by him, too. He's even acting in it!

    Forgive me if this is a repost, but I did a quick search.

    I doubt many here would be interested in it, but I'm looking forward to it. I like those cheesy kung fu movies.

    And it has Lucy Lui!

    Yeah, I know, but I figured I'd post it anyways. I'm excited nonetheless.

    I'm sorry, but it looks awful based on the trailer I've seen. Russell Crowe as a Kung Fu bad-ass with a gadget-hand? LMAO, it's so hokey! Maybe if someone gave me free passes to see it...

    The RZA is the guy who basically started the Wu-Tang Clan. He's the driving force behind their kung-fu influences, and everything they've done, pretty much.

    It's pronounced "Rizza" by the way.

    So I saw this. It is about what you'd expect. Cheesy entertainment in the style of those old badly dubbed Kung Fu movies.

    Lots of martial arts, lots of gore, and lots of hot Asian chicks. Keep your expectations low and its kinda fun.

    It was exactly what I wanted. The soundtrack was awesome, and the violence was awesome. I also really liked the cheesy story and stuff.

    Saw it. Liked it. Didn't quite love it, but I was never bored, which can't be said for a lot of action movies.
