Sounds like it could be cool by Nabster	Jul 7th, 2008 05:07:45 AM
The RZA making a film under Tarantinos wings? I wonder how much influence QT will actually have, I love the RZA, but I could see this movie being garbage very easily, hope not though.
Damn right, Bill Murray! by DOGSOUP	Jul 7th, 2008 05:11:19 AM
But this will kill Ray Park in Iron Fist.
Liquid Swords is a GZA song! by RICH2	Jul 7th, 2008 05:16:20 AM
i mean...RZA produced it, but still.
He wasn't scared of the shogun by Shaw	Jul 7th, 2008 05:26:57 AM
But the shogun was scared of him. Maybe that was the problem.
uh...Marvel Comics? by CaptGrogan	Jul 7th, 2008 05:37:13 AM
A kung fu movie called , in part - Iron Fist? If this isnt the Marvel comics character, Im betting Marvel steps in and makes them change the title. Thats the name of their Kung Fu Superhero
Iron Fist? by Curious Jorge	Jul 7th, 2008 05:55:17 AM
Will Power Man be in it as well?
it seems the perfect opportuntiy to remind everyone by Mr_X	Jul 7th, 2008 05:58:10 AM
buy the new iron fist series, its fucking amazing. read the first 16 issues of the latest series and you can just imagine it as a spectacular marvel movie.
RZA directing an old skool kung-fu? by Bruce Leroy	Jul 7th, 2008 06:01:47 AM
Count me in. I can't wait!
So Tarantino is the Yoda of directing now? by I Dunno	Jul 7th, 2008 06:10:00 AM
There should be a training montage where they both film long ass dialog sequences, have all the women shove their feet in front of the camera and doing dozens of lines of coke together.

split it into two films, you must by ciroslive	Jul 7th, 2008 06:45:29 AM
Hoping this is good. There aren't nearly enough kung fu movies in theaters these days. Probably because most of them are DTV garbage...
Will he still have the Wu Tang tattoo? by Garbageman33	Jul 7th, 2008 06:51:02 AM
Even if the film is set in 1600s China? We've already seen it in the 1970s (American Gangster). I want to see that thing travel through time.
If a lesser talent like Rob Zombie is making films... by rbatty024	Jul 7th, 2008 06:52:35 AM
then someone like RZA, who actually makes good music to begin with, should be sitting in the director's chair.
Eli Roth, Wu-Tang Clan's RZA & post Death Proof Tarantino... by Sledge Hammer	Jul 7th, 2008 07:13:37 AM
Now if that's not a recipe for prime black hole level suckage, well, frankly I'll be very, very, VERY surprised. On the upside though, at least the local coke dealers will feel just a little bit more secure in their futures while these three hoovers are hanging together.
So will this be... by SenatorJeffersonSmith	Jul 7th, 2008 07:34:38 AM

RZA has been behind the scenes in a LOT of movies by terry1978	Jul 7th, 2008 07:54:20 AM
I mean, a lot of movies. Check his IMDB. He deserves a shot at this.
Man by Series7	Jul 7th, 2008 07:56:49 AM
I hope that the GZA and Ghostface get in on this. Same wit my boi Method Man. HOLLA!
VERY COOL NEWS. by ingloriousjedi	Jul 7th, 2008 08:00:11 AM
This project could go in a shitload of different directions. And many of them would be cool. But I'd like to see this as a serious kung Fu film, no gymics. This film should be like it was made in the seventies with an all Chinese cast. As for the music of course it would be cool if RZA did the soundtrack, but i think he should hold back on this and have no hip hop in it at all. Keep it authentic. Shot on film, not digital and no CG. I'm sure RZA and Tarrentino would definitely be down with the no CG rule, just like Kill Bill was. Instead of going the obvious route and making this a trilogy, I'd like to see RZA make totally separate Kung-Fu films, with seperate characters and actors. It would be cool if his SECOND Kung-fu film mixed the genres of SCI-FI and Kung-fu. But this first film should be straight, old school Kung-fu, in terms of the filmmaking process as well. And he's GOTTA film this in Chinese language and dub it in post with English for the US release. I have faith RZA will get this right .
RZA's writing and directing it? by Mosquito March	Jul 7th, 2008 08:04:13 AM
Are all the characters going to have trouble pronouncing their W's, too?
Rza already made... by Cagliostro	Jul 7th, 2008 08:07:32 AM
a Bobby Digital movie. Go see that piece of shit before you get too excited. I'm guessing it'll look something like the end of the Gravel Pit video. We can just move on now....
Raekwon by Thunderbolt Ross	Jul 7th, 2008 09:09:38 AM
This movie will fail unless that chubby motherfucker is seen doing flying kicks and flips and whatnot.

I don't know how they are going to by Series7	Jul 7th, 2008 09:52:03 AM
Make a movie by RZA and then have to re-edit it to incorporate music by RZA? I mean hows that going to work? Is he going to put music in it first, just so they can re-edit it to put different RZA music in it?
It better not include hip hop as the music score by DarthBakpao	Jul 7th, 2008 10:09:16 AM

Will he learn... by DannyDorko666	Jul 7th, 2008 10:25:03 AM

Iron Fist? Who will play Danny Rand? by SpyGuy	Jul 7th, 2008 10:41:19 AM
Hopefully it's not Ray Park. I dig Ray Park, but he's all kinds of wrong for Danny Rand.
Shame by ChocolateJesus	Jul 7th, 2008 10:47:33 AM
Shame on any nigga who doesn't think this is cool news. Every bit of it is cool, and anyone who uses Tarantino as leverage to say otherwise is a fucking pissant.
Could Be Fun by frongbak	Jul 7th, 2008 10:49:18 AM
I was talking to someone the other day about Vivica Fox being badass in Kill Bill 1 and Michale Jai White. I think a reasonable priced series of movies like Foxy Brown with Kung Fu could be sweet. Just use the Bourne method of fighting with a little wire-fu kick. It could be really fun.
Forrest Whitaker by frongbak	Jul 7th, 2008 10:58:21 AM
RZA has ties with his from Ghost Dog with Jarmusch. He could play a great Main Villian. I have no problem with hip hop playing a major role in the music, better than the repetitive techno you get in most action flicks, I'm looking at you Blade.
Oh well by Aeghast	Jul 7th, 2008 11:10:38 AM
Better some Tarantino apprentice than no Tarantino at all
LOL SpyGuy (with all due respect..) by Aeghast	Jul 7th, 2008 11:12:14 AM

could be a perfect comeback vehicle for Chuck Norris. Just like Tarantino did for Travolta. Come on, Tarantino. I know you read these boards. Do it!!!! Norris = ratings!!!
Why so negative? by Crackles	Jul 7th, 2008 11:42:10 AM
First of all if you don't like Quentin Tarantino you're fucking crazy! And if you do like all of his Brilliant films why wouldn't you be excited for a movie by a guy who writes some kick ass music who Quentin mentored?! Granted the only RZA music I've heard is the Kill Bill soundtrack....but that shit kicked ass! And you should check out his IMDB page cause he's done a lot of cool shit! I'm excited!
Also....... by Crackles	Jul 7th, 2008 11:46:09 AM
Rob Zombie kicks ass!!!! Most of you people are so closed minded it drives me NUTS! Expand your horizons!!!!

He is also the music producer of Wu Tang Clan, a martial artist, close friend of Tarantino, a vegetarian, and did the score for Kill Bill: Volume One.

RZA is serious by fastcars	Jul 7th, 2008 02:00:40 PM
How could you not be excited about this? Kung-fu movies are RZA's life, and he's been studying filmmaking since the Kill Bill days.
yeah, they better change the title by oisin5199	Jul 7th, 2008 02:11:44 PM
the ONLY Iron Fist is Danny Fucking Rand. I hope Marvel Studios takes a good look at the current Brubaker/Fraction series and do a seriously good kung fu pic, not some Tarentinoesque blaxploitation film like this RZA thing is likely to be. And I know Ray Park's always wanted to do the Iron Fist thing, but seriously, get a real actor. Park can do a one-note villain or something.
IamJack'sUserID by fastcars	Jul 7th, 2008 02:21:23 PM
Don't be a douche. The guy has watched kung-fu movies since childhood, and took 4+ years to study the craft, in the field, before attempting his own feature. I respect that.
Wu Tang is for the children! by joe90025	Jul 7th, 2008 02:32:33 PM
Eli Roth should put that albino "pancakes!" kid from Cabin Fever in this. He must be grown up by now, and it looked like he knew martial arts from what I remember. PANCAKES!!!
Finally! by gavdiggity	Jul 7th, 2008 02:44:30 PM
Looks like I'm finally gonna be getting that long-awaited sequel to The Last Dragon... and I agree with you, oisin. Danny Rand, period.

LIQUID SWORDS Is The Best Wu-Tang Related Album by LaserPants	Jul 7th, 2008 03:29:13 PM
Dare I say it I think its even better than the 36 Chambers. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, or who RZA or GZA is, you really, really need to put down the hoagie, cake, pizza, and icecream, leave Mom's basement, and get a fucking life.

Konichiwa, bitches. by Richard Cranium	Jul 7th, 2008 03:37:34 PM
Since RZA got drafted by the asians a few years back, does that mean he's going to make it as a Japanese movie only to have a shitty Americanized remake come out 2 years later?
A Zombie Olde Dirty Bastard With Kung-Fu Powers!!! by LaserPants	Jul 7th, 2008 03:37:56 PM
Put that in the movie and you will be the coolest person on Earth, RZA.
laserpants by long live the new chris	Jul 7th, 2008 03:38:55 PM
"liquid swords" is not better than "36 chambers," though maybe close. i think it's about on the same level as raekwon's "only built 4 cuban linx" ghostface's "ironman" and "supreme clientele." but you are correct that if you like music and you don't know shit about wu-tang then you need to get your priorities straight.
check out RZA's commentary on 36 CHAMBERS OF SHAOLIN by Vern	Jul 7th, 2008 03:43:24 PM
They have a martial arts movie historian on with him and it's not long before the guy is laughing in disbelief at how much more RZA knows about the movie than he does. He starts asking RZA questions. He seems like he thinks he's being Punk'd by the time RZA is talking about his visit to the actual Shaolin Temple. But I will keep my excitement in check because as somebody mentioned RZA already directed a martial arts movie called BOBBY DIGITAL, but it never came out. He at least shot some of it, because I saw a trailer with lots of footage. I'm guessing it made no sense. Whatever he comes up with he needs Jim Jarmusch as executive soundtrack producer so he can tell him to stop fucking around and do another score worthy of GHOST DOG.

Vern -- was the commentary historian Ric Meyers? by mdf2	Jul 7th, 2008 05:04:36 PM
'Cause if it was, I'm not surprised RZA knew more than he does. Meyers strikes me as a fanboy, not a historian. I've read his books, and heard some of his commentaries, and he comes across as more self-absorbed than actually knowledgeable. But you've got my interest piqued. Now I need to listen to that commentary.
Liquid Swords was the best produded album by RZA by ganymede3010	Jul 7th, 2008 05:18:00 PM
It was the GZA's second album. That shit is classic son.
yeah Ric Meyers by kungfuhustler84	Jul 7th, 2008 05:33:36 PM
is a massive tool shed. YOu seen that interview he does with Stephen Chow on the Kung Fu Hustle (ahem) DVD? Could they have picked a bigger asshole to bother such a cool film creator?

And edit the madness that was Wu-Tang Clan into solid albums for the latter half of the 90s. I wouldn't expect his film to be Oscar quality, but it'd be as entertaining as the Saturday matinee Shaw Bros flicks he grew up on. I'd check it if it were included in "Grindhouse 2" or something.

36 Chambers is one of the great rap albums of all time. I hope this movie takes place in the slums of Shaolin. The bad guy should sew somebody's asshole shut and keep feedin them and feedin them and feedin them and feedin them. At some point.
Let the Liquid Sword hit the mark! by Violator90	Jul 7th, 2008 09:58:02 PM
I say give RZA a chance. It can't be an worse than most of the shit that Hollywood has be ramming down our throats and calling them "movies." Rza has be a huge fan of kung-fu movies, so a fan of he genre should give it a shot. Fuck it, I say. I'm up for some thing new from some one new. I'm tired of the same old bullshit just rehashed and served up under a new name. As long as it come out good, fuck all of Hollywood!

Why do White boys Attack Black MEN on this site? by EightiesBaby	Jul 8th, 2008 08:54:09 AM
And no at all of the White guys here do that BUT enough do. And it pisses me off. Black people not only support movies by Whites we spend our hard earned dollars. Yet let there be a mention of a Black person doing a movie or whatever and there is a tidal wave of hate. If you don't like it then don't post you idiots because we all know you'd never voice your bigotry to my or any Black man's face except safely behind your screen. LOSERS!
Don't know or care who RZA is by Abominable Snowcone	Jul 8th, 2008 09:38:24 AM
a rapper, from what I'm reading? Making movies? Should we care? Being that AiCN is primarily a movie site, I can understand that some people won't give the benefit of the doubt to a rapper making movies as a hobby. It'd be no different if Martin Scorsese wanted to do a rap album. Would a rap-oriented website give him the time of day? Should they?
EightiesBaby by Screwbini	Jul 8th, 2008 11:20:05 AM
Right you are - a bunch of racist morons constantly lurking on this site. I'm glad to see some of the non-bigots speaking up, but I wish there were more.
I'm pretty sure RZA's directed a few videos by GilbertRSmith	Jul 8th, 2008 03:10:45 PM
RZA's much more than Some Rapper. This isn't Lil Wayne or Mike Jones making Lil Wayne or Mike Jones: The Movie. RZA doesn't have Scarface playing constantly on his bigscreen, he actually knows Kung Fu flicks (He also knows Kung Fu). It's fun to take a dump on him, of course, but maybe uh, listen to a Bobby Digital album all the way through and read an interview with him. You can remain ign'ant if you like, but if you choose not to understand the subject you're dissing, you kind of have an obligation to shut the fuck up.

RZA and GZA do a skit int that with fucking Bill Murry. It's hilarious.
Dramacidal by Screwbini	Jul 8th, 2008 03:43:13 PM
Playing the race card? What the Hell does that mean? It seems every time folks get called on their blatant racism someone whips out that lame excuse about "playing the race card". If an attack is based on one's belief that there is a lack of talent, lack of experience, etc., that's fine. But we all know that the first thing that comes to mind when "rapper" is mentioned is a young Black man and the negative reaction is ofetn based on nothing more than that. To me that's racism at work - playing the race card has nothing to do with it. Also, don't be so sure our next president will be Black - despite what people might say to pollsters, let's just see what they do in the privacy of the voting booth (remember Tom Brady in Los Angeles). Also, I know it makes an amusing punchline for a joke, but does anyone really believe that if Obama becomes president that racism will no longer be a factor in this country?
Dramacidal by Screwbini	Jul 10th, 2008 10:57:21 AM
No wonder you picked that name - you are FULL of drama! (among other things!) It doesn't take a mind reader to understand the code words. I am well aware that there are rappers of all races and ethnicities, and I think that's great. But just ask the average person the first image that comes to mind when they hear the word "rapper" and I think you'll find I am correct. Also, I never called you a racist - I said there were racists lurking on this site, and all you have to do is read some of the comments to know that. As for the comment about racism disappearing if Obama is elected, was it not you who made the snide remark that a Black man is about to become President, and followed up with "Whitey ain't holding you down anymore, play-uh"? We do agree on one thing, however, racism will always be here. Just like there will always be folks who pretend it's not an issue when it is.
