Feel free to let me know what you’d like for the revamp of Martial Arts Movie Junkie. I’ll be sure to take it into consideration.

On May 22nd, the RZA tweeted that the Man with the Iron Fist was finally locked. For those of you that aren’t aware, this is a project that RZA has worked on in every aspect, including the writing and directing.
There are several supporting cast members, with some of them being Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, Daniel Wu, Leung kar-yen, Cung Le, Gordon Liu, and Celina Jade.
I’m been pretty open about the fact that I’m not a fan of the RZA, but that doesn’t mean he can’t prove me wrong. I’m afraid that this movie will end up just being a fanfilm and not have any substance, but I will be more than happy to correct myself if he shows me something different.
Since filming has finally wrapped, maybe we’ll be able to see a trailer in the coming months to get a feel for the film and see what it’s really about.
It appears that Formula 1 racer Sebastian Vetel is teaming up with Celina Jade in an upcoming short for Infiniti (yes, the carmakers.) I gotta be honest, the first time I saw this I wasn’t sure if it was real. However, I did find this behind the scenes video that proves this is indeed happening.
Kung Fu Vettel: Drive of the Dragon
I’m not expecting much from the partnership, and I don’t even know how much Celina Jade knows about martial arts. She may practice it in her personal life, but I’ve only seen her “fight” in Legendary Assassin, and that’s it. While this won’t be a project that will unite racing and martial arts fans, it’s strange and unique enough that I’m curious about it.
How do you guys feel about this pairing? Do you think it’ll be better that what most expect, or is there only so much an F-1 driver can do when it comes to stuntwork?
In case you want to see this short, it will be coming out in May and is titled Kung Fu Vettel: Drive of the Dragon. No joke.

The RZA has been working on a project known as the Man with the Iron Fists. He wrote the script along with Eli Roth, who is serving as a producer of the film along with Quentin Tarentino. The RZA will be playing the lead role, but has a plethora of supporting members including Gordon Liu, Leung Kar-yen, Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, Daniel Wu, Celina Jade, and Rick Yune (just to name a few.)
The choreography for the film will be done by Corey Yuen, while Marrese Crump and Ian Powers will be providing the doubling work in the film. It seems like the RZA has all the cards in his hand, but I can’t help but feel a little worried about the film. Of course, that’s probably more of a personal thing than anything else.
Those of you that have been around me know that I don’t like the RZA, but I’m also aware that there are fans of his work. I can’t say that I’m excited for the project, but I’m eager to see if I’m proven wrong. I have no problem with admitting being wrong if the trailer blows me away, and I haven’t seen any images or footage from the film. While having a strong cast and choreographer is a great start, it all depends on the vision of the team and where they go.
I’ll keep you guys posted on any new info I find.
