MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS (2012)

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet.

Old style kung fu throwback film written, directed and starring rapper RZA, "presented by" Quentin Tarantino. Here's my mini-review:

In feudal China an African-American blacksmith, British soldier of fortune and a avenging son with a suit that fires daggers fight against a man who can turn his skin bronze, a brothel full of ninja prostitutes, and a wildly inappropriate funk/rap soundtrack. Rapper turned writer/director/star RZA is just enthusiastic and incompetent enough to make something that legitimately resembles a big-budget modern Shaw brothers movie rather than a spoof. I give it 3/5 but I suspect many people on here are going to like it a lot more.

Is it already out in America?  I've been waiting to see this for months, but Australian release dates get weird.  Sometimes we get a major movie like The Avengers before the States, while lesser known movies like Iron Fists or Push get theatrical releases months later.

Stop! You had me at Quentin Tarantino.

This is on the top of my must see list along with Cloud Atlas and Wreck It Ralph. I saw Skyfall this past weekend and it is easily one of the best Bond movies ever.
