Blu-ray cover art located here.

RELEASE DATE: April 14, 2015

Plot: When Thaddeus (RZA) is found wounded near the village, miner Kung (Dustin Nguyen) and his wife Ni (Eugenia Kang) offer him refuge. As he heals, he becomes entrenched in a conflict that pits the townsfolk against the evil Ho (Carl Ng), his nefarious Clan and the terrifying Lord Pi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa). With Thaddeus at his side, the mild-mannered Kung transforms into a deadly warrior!

Different director by the looks of IMDB. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the first one and I remember with Tarantino's stamp on it I was really looking forward to it too.

Doesn't look as good as the first one and that one had all the flaws of a vanity project. I'll give it a shot if it's streaming somewhere.

Still, given he came back to star in it and wrote the story, he must not be that upset about it.

I didn't even really like the first one, but I'll give this a chance.

Only reason I'm even on board because as soon as I saw it wasn't directed by RZA I immediately became disinterested.

Nick666 · 04-02-2015, 04:19 PM

Yeah cause RZA was born to make good movies.

DTHalliday · 04-14-2015, 11:26 PM

No one is pretending the Rza can act, but I feel he handled himself well under Eli Roth's supervision on MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS. It was a well made, entertaining, movie and a unique marriage of superheroes, kung-fu, and exploitation movies. He had a vision and he followed through on it; I respect that.

MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS 2...I don't think it'll be half the movie. Roel Reine is my favorite B-movie director, but that's because he specifically likes to make B-movies. He's not really interested in telling a story or even directing the actors...he lets the writers do what they'll do and the actors do what they do, and concentrates on the visuals. I'm hoping this will at least be a fun movie that is well produced and nice to look at, but I don't think it'll be anywhere near as slick or as fun as the original, which was more of a B+ movie.

I'll still be picking this up if I see it used.

One of the few DTV sequels where I wouldn't mind a recast of the main role.

Why is the title on the home page in bold under the reviews section while others are/are not? trying to understand if this is a sponsored thing or what.

FoulMouff · 04-15-2015, 10:35 PM

Picked up my copy today. Rewatching the first one now and then on to the sequel.

Tony208 · 04-16-2015, 05:22 PM

Thought this one was disappointing. Cast wasn't as good and all the stylish moves that made the first one stand out are gone. Truly b-movie material here.

Just watched on Netflix. So glad I didn't buy this.

newginafets · 04-16-2015, 07:57 PM

I loved the first one, thingking about blind buying this one.
