REVIEW: My review of "The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)"

5/02/2013 11:00:00 AM  , , , , , ,  No comments



The RZA (of the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan) starred and co-wrote the script. This was also his directorial debut.


Here's the trailer:

 

I wanted to like it. I knew it was homage to Oldschool Shaw Brothers films. Did I say that I really wanted to like it? Well I didn't. 


 
Something or a few things were missing. I can't put my finger on it but the ingredients for an epic oldschool-styled movie were there: 

  • Oldschool legends Chen Kuan-tai and Bryan Leung Ka Yan in cameos
  • Rotties Lucy Liu and Jaime Chung
  • Characters/names homage to The Kid with the Golden Arms
  • Exotic weapons
  • Cung Le was in it too



Perhaps this movie had TOO much things going on. By that I mean, it had too many elements as homage to the oldschool movies. If a few elements were used, it may have worked. Almost all the homage elements were used. As a whole, the movie didn't quite work for me.


Pass on this if you haven't seen it yet.

Frank Shamrock on Cung Le

11/15/2012 10:59:00 AM  , , , ,  No comments

I was in a bookstore and saw Frank Shamrock's new book. I flipped through it and with the recent Cung Le KO of Rich Franklin, the following caught my eye. If you missed the fight, I made an animated GIF you can view here.

Frank Shamrock on Cung Le


... I knew all about Cung and his fighting style. I knew his skill set. He was very fast. He was able to lean his center quickly in all four directions and avoid strikes. This was important, because it was going to be hard to damage him. I knew he was very good with his feet. ...

... I knew two things about Cung that gave me an edge. First, I knew he didn't have the conditioning. He has never made it, and remained strong, past fifteen minutes. Most of his wins had been in the first round. So I knew he couldn't fight a long fight. I knew if I could keep him fighting and get to the third round, he'd be toast. I also knew that he is afraid to get hit. He hates getting hit. That's one of his dirty little secrets. He doesn't want to have a fistfight. 

...

But I found myself getting tired, trying to hit him when he wasn't there. He was really fast, and he moved in unusual ways. He used angles that were not traditional fighting angles and were not the usual modern fighting style. You never lean back and drop your hands in boxing. You never lean forward and drop your hands in kickboxing. But he was doing that kind of thing. ...

The second round started. I got more comfortable. I was smiling and laughing. But then he kicked me in the side of the head with a roundhouse and knocked my mouthpiece out. He hit me with his shinbone, and I didn't see it coming. We stopped and he let me pick up my mouthpiece, and we grinned at each other. But it made me nervous. I didn't even see the kick. It was that fast. I didn't like being hit by something I hadn't even seen.

MMA: UFC on FUEL 6 (Macau) - Rich Franklin x Cung Le

11/12/2012 11:00:00 AM  , , , , , ,  No comments



This past Saturday, 11/10/12, UFC on FUEL 6 (Macau) aired.

I like both fighters - Franklin and Le. Hate to see either one lose. Sad to see a fighter of Franklin's experience/caliber to neglect a BASIC - HANDS UP!

I only had time to make a gif of the KO from the realtime footage...sometime later tomorrow night, will make gif's of the KO from the slowmo footage and edit into this entry.






 


My friend Joe Silvia (aka Ausgepicht. is a MMA coach) is always ranting how coaches and fighters don't set up their low round kicks with the hands. Ace paid the price.
