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. :cheers:
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.
