The Man with the Iron Fists Movie Download

8 / 10

One from the art…
THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS is every martial arts movie fan’s dream. Few people can lay claim to living a dream- and fewer still can claim to have done it so well. This one’s one from the heart- and it shows. Storywise, it’s a pastiche of many of the martial arts movies we’ve all come to know and love and the fx are top-of-the-line. It was good to see Cung Le and David Bautista in action, and particularly gratifying to see Chen Kuan-tai and Gordon Liu on hand; their inclusion (in addition to the on location locations) lent the proceedings a beautiful touch. Rza does a credible job as Thaddeus. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the sequel (a Kwai Chang Caine return to America to find his mother, played by Pam Grier…?). Lucy Liu as the queen of the Black Widows also deserves mention. Action-wise, it’s often over the top, but not in the ridiculously bad way so many contemporary martial arts action scenes are (the spinning kick that decapitates one guy was just plain kung fun, damn it). THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS is true to the SPIRIT of the ’70s kung fu movies. Can’t ask for more than that.Read More
