Man, we aren’t gonna get to listen to Liquid Swords 2 for ages now. RZA you evil genius you, get your priorities straight!
Knowing that RZA knows his shit when it comes to kung-fu films, that he’s been buddied up with Tarantino for a while and that he has tried making films before (which he didn’t release as they weren’t up to scratch) and that this has been in pre-production for a while now – is it possible this could actually be, you know, good? I hope it doesn’t look as utterly retarded as the Triumph video haha. Either way the soundtrack will be bad ass, so that’s something to legitimately look forward to.

Wu-Tang is for the children
Did I dream this into reality?
@Allan – Liquid Swords 2 would be like a dream come true.
Russell Crowe, on the other hand, is not.
Rza should have been working on Liquid Swords a long time ago instead of doing Derailed, and American Gansta and all his other super small and pointless supporting roles. Also the Afro Samurai Resurrection soundtrack suuuccckkkeeeeddd. This film, however, I am psyched for!
Would love to see a film directed by RZA. He’s got some great talent behind it too, so it seems very promising.
The other Afro Samurai soundtrack was pretty cool though, this especially
I also feel that Wu-Tang Chamber music album from 09 was way underrated.
LS2 was supposed to be released in December, they were supposed to actually be doing the full album in the studio with each other as opposed to this bullshit emailing beats to emcees which has become fashionable nowadays and like Liquid Swords, RZA apparently is doing all the beats for it. Should be all out Shoalin styleee especially as he has kung fu on the mind right now so I’m mad exited for it, if it actually does come out, you know how they are with release dates. And as GZA’s been touring Liquid Swords for the last few years he should lyrically be on it (when isn’t he) hopefully GZA wakes up a little though, his flow has fallen off a little I think, sounded tired as shit on Pro-Tools.
corey yuen can help like yuen woo ping helped kill bill :O)
Afro Samurai Resurrection was bad all around, ignoring the animation of course.

Production is now underway in China on The Man With The Iron Fists, a period martial arts thriller being directed by RZA, the US hip hop musician-turned-actor and co-founder of The Wu-Tang Clan.
The cast includes Russell Crowe and RZA as the title character, a blacksmith who forges weapons for the inhabitants of a village in feudal China. They are forced to defend themselves. Corey Yuen (Transporter) is directing the action sequences.
The $20 million film to be distributed by Universal Pictures also features a large Asian-American contingent including Lucy Liu, Daniel Wu, Byron Mann (Streetfighter, The Corruptor, pictured), Osric Chau (What Women Want) and Darren Scott (aka Darren Choo, Romeo Must Die). Crowe is expected to arrive in China at the end of the months and stay on set through February.
The Man With The Iron Fists’s screenplay is written by RZA and Eli Roth (Hostel).
Production is by RZA, Roth and Marc Abraham through Strike Entertainment. Filming has begun at the Hengdian World Studios and will continue until the end of February with a shift of location to Shanghai.
Production services in China are provided through Champion Star, a company associated with Bill Kong (江志強). As distributor of Universal’s studio titles in Hong Kong and China, Kong has previously assisted other Universal productions in the region including The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
