Tarantino Presents "The Man With the Iron Fists"

[Niltusk]

Looks awesome.

 

[Biojex]

Batista.

I'm down.

 

[uscmhicks]

Surprised to see Crowe in this. Looks a bit crappy to me.
Time will tell I suppose.

 

[Niltusk]

I can't believe anyone is surprised that Tarantino would lend his name to something co written by Roth.

 

[CelticPredator]

^ are you serious? Like, you're surprised? Actually, honestly, 100% surprised?

 

[JD18_92]

This is gonna be one hell of a movie, cant wait!

batista is just a narcissistic and arrogant a-hole. he made it in wrestling by playing politics and sucking up to the right people. he was never that good, and now he acts like he was the best thing to happen to the company in the last 10yrs. he never paid his dues, belittles better performers than himself and takes himself way too seriously. i'm actually disappointed he got this role as i really wanted to see his move to hollywood fail big time.

Yeah, see I didn't really catch any of the Batista drama from just seeing him fight a couple times. He was big when I stopped watching wrestling religiously like I used to. But I always wanted to picture him as a cool dude out of the ring, like so many of the wrestlers. Oh well.

RZA, Crowe and Liu puts this on my "will watch" list.

Me too. Holds more upside than bad. As long as they nail the fight scenes and the plot/writing isn't TOO awful (unless it's done in campy Shaw Bros. kung-fu movie style) than I'll be walking away chipper.

And would be down to see RZA work on the soundtrack, much like he did for Kill Bill and the Afro Samurai series.

No, I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or just can't read since you just posted three pics that prove my point.

 

[CelticPredator]

Yeah, I didn't read it right. Hahaha. My bad.

Everyone is a snarky ____, so I assumed you were being one as well...

Haha, nope, was responding directly to people that seemed like it was a surprise to see Tarantino's name on this. As you showed,Roth and him have been buds for awhile. Given the tone and genre though, I could see him supporting this even if Roth wasn't attached to it.

 

[CelticPredator]

Yeah, indeed. Ok, we're on the same page now...haha.

Well I know QT and Roth are buddies. The issue from my POV isn't that I think he's above doing it, I just don't understand why someone's name would be on the title of a film if they don't really have ____ to do with it If that's a way for QT to better line his pockets, power to him, but it is extremely disingenuous in my eyes since the implication is that he actually played some role creating the thing (either producing, directing, or otherwise helping to get a film made). If he's an informal producer/consultant, then even there I think it could be justifiable. But if he's just trying to help his buddies promote the movie and to get a payday, well. . .whatever. I guess it's a throwback to some of those 70s films he loved so much that tried to use cheap techniques to cash in on the success of others (Bruce Li movies, for example).

 

[CelticPredator]

He's helping his buddies make a movie....that's not a bad thing.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Besides, this is a movie Tarantino would be all over as a fan of oldschool kung fu movies. I feel like his "presenting" of these films is sincere, atleast something like this and Ong Bak.

 

[meth head]

Looks decent enough.

 

[papa-alpha-charlie]

looks awesome. can't wait. looks like a great homage to the classic kung fu movies I love.

 

[Darklord Dave]

I'm sure QT is all over the film - he may not have been on set every day, but I'm sure he gave input into the script and the editing room and he and Roth probably backstopped RZA with directing it.

QT may be a egregious self-promoter, but he wouldn't let something be released with his name on it that didn't make sense. Like I doubt we'd see Quentin Tarantino presents Hamlet.

Although that may make for one interesting Hamlet.

Perhaps - the wire work in the sword battle between Hamlet and Laertes might be worth watching.

Saw this today, it was pretty cool not spectacular, I was expecting a little more but still a fun movie overall.
