MF Doom and RZA - Books of War

BluntOne - Winter Jazz / Third World

WHAT IS CHI?

The Man with the Iron Fists isn't RZA's first shot at 42nd Street cinema. The Abbot spent a decade or so in his garden shooting this lowest-fi tease for Wu-Tang vs. The Golden Phoenix. If Iron Fists is even a billionth as fuck-awesome as this camcorder catastrophe, we're in for a treat. Bonecrusher!

Whatever film The Man with the Iron Fists turns out to be, the sheer wackiness of potentially seeing a Brooklyn drawling RZA thump his way through a series of kung fu archetypes is enough high-concept to get my bum on a seat. Word around the campfire is that the first assembly edit of this flick totalled over four hours. I wonder what a Heaven's Gate length fight flick directed by a hip-hop mogul would look like? Awesome, probably.
