The RZA Knows How to Make a Sword
A new redband trailer for The RZA’s The Man with the Iron Fists came out this weekend. Actually, a non-redband trailer came out to, so if you’ve seen a new trailer and it didn’t have 1) the names of the movie’s main players, 2) lots and lots of CG blood and 3) a shot of RZA punching a dude’s head off, then you didn’t see the redband one, and you really need to. It should go without saying how excited I am for the movie. It’s like RZA saw Kill Bill and said, “This is good, but it’s kind of little slow. It could use maybe 300% more action and graphic dismemberment.” (Via Geeks of Doom)
