In a place called Jungle Village, numerous factions are at war with one another for control, with a lone Blacksmith (RZA) making weapons for them all. When Imperial gold is set to travel through the village, the normal violence reaches new levels, various powerful figures including good and evil brothers, the son of the Lion Clan Leader called the X-Blade (Rick Yune), a devious madam (Lucy Liu), and a mysterious Englishman (Russell Crowe) with a pistol/knife/drill combo in his holster arrive in Jungle Village. Will the Blacksmith stay neutral as the lives of his fellow villagers are put on the line?RZA's first directorial film, co-written with Eli Roth, The Man with the Iron Fists was in part a tribute to the 70's martial arts films that inspired his old hip-hop conglomerate Wu-Tang Clan. It was released in Fall of 2012, although reportedly this is less than half of what was actually filmed, with RZA having originally intended to release it all as two movies before executive hijinks shot it down. An unrelated Direct to Video sequel was released on DVD and Blu-Ray on April 14, 2015.Not related with Tekkennote Japanese for "Iron Fist", or to Marvel's Iron Fist properties. | |

The Man with the Iron Fists / int_128e4ba8 | comment |
Gatling Good: Subverted. During the last act of the movie, a big fuss is made over the fact that the Emperor's troops are approaching the village with a Gatling gun to massacre everyone. Then it's never used. | |

Animal-Themed Fighting Style | |
The Man with the Iron Fists / int_14b9a923 | comment |
Animal-Themed Fighting Style: Jungle Town's warring clans are each named for an animal which informs their fighting style. This doesn't just cover normal animal-themed kung-fu disciplines, but other animals as well, such as: Rat Clan, who use camouflage and skulking about to conceal large numbers of fighters for sneak attacks. They're individually fairly weak but specialize in coordinating their attacks to confuse and incapacitate stronger opponents. Spider Clan, who run the local brothel and are quite adept at using the normally decorative curtains in their home to move about when fighting. They also possess poisoned needles they can mount on their tongues to deliver a powerful toxin that almost instantly paralyzes and kills their targets. | |

Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Subverted. While many thrown weapons can or should kill, most throwers die before they can retrieve their weapons, including Gemini Male and Madame Blossom. However, they can be perfectly capable of some combat without their weapon. The X-Blade's suit includes several fire and forget blades, but not a single one works against Brass Body. | |

Sequel Hook: No sooner is the movie over than the wife of Zhen Yi is kidnapped by the Hawk clan. The sequel turns out to have nothing to do with the hook, with only Thaddeus and the Geminis returning. That doesn't mean the ending was Canon Discontinuity; it's shown that people are learning of Thaddeus's reputation, probably from word of adventures spreading. | |

Black-and-White Morality | |
The Man with the Iron Fists / int_7abd339f | comment |
Black-and-White Morality: It's mostly a tale of good vs. evil. However, there are shades of grey Jack Knife saves Thaddeus and the children at the Pink Blossom, but he also provokes a man into a fight early on in the movie basically for being a Fat Bastard, and proceeds to cut said man in half. He even suggests Madam Blossom feed his dead body to the dogs. Though he later feels remorse, Thaddeus is responsible for the construction of the weapon that kills Gold Lion and sets the plot in motion. He knew he was making weapons of murder, but he was more interested in buying his girlfriend's freedom. Somewhat justified, given his history and environment. Madam Blossom is not above poisoning all the lions and taking gold that belongs to someone else, but she's also protective of her girls. She also ends up giving her life to save a child. Lady Silk comes off as an innocent victim, but she was complicit in Madam Blossom's plan to poison all the Lions and steal the gold. She just happened to get stuck with the nigh invincible Brass Body. | |

Hall of Mirrors | |
The Man with the Iron Fists / int_7c5960bf | comment |
So very many. An obvious one being the final fight between Zhen Yi and Silver Lion in a Hall of Mirrors a la Enter the Dragon. In this version, however, it's actually shown how it all works. | |

Ambiguous Time Period | |
The Man with the Iron Fists / int_7eb2bc15 | comment |
Ambiguous Time Period: It appears to be set in China, but where and when is hard to pin down. The presence of Jack Knife (who dresses like an old west gunman) and his dealings with Opium in China, as well as the Blacksmith's backstory as a slave in Southern American plantations, nominally put this movie somewhere around the 1860s (in turn suggesting the Emperor is either Qing Daoguang, Qing Xianfeng, or Qing Tongzhi) but the technology blends Bamboo Technology with Steampunk and meshes the aesthetic of several time periods (with the Pink Blossom in particular practically looking like a modern-day brothel). | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
The Man with the Iron Fists / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: Subverted in the cases of Jack Knife and Brass Body. The former enters the film as a hedonistic foreigner who delivers a vicious death using his gun/knife/saw... thing, and ends up being one of the more upstanding and heroic characters in the movie. The latter enters while entertaining local children with his strength and being all smiles...only to be revealed as a monstrous assassin and borderline rapist with little regard for anyone else in his way. | |

Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight | |
The Man with the Iron Fists / int_85b5dc7 | comment |
Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight: Invoked — as incredible as the martial artists are, they are (except for one memorable example) not Immune to Bullets. As a result, the moment when the heroes find out that the Emperor has sent his top soldiers to Clean Up the Town and they are armed with guns is the moment when the plot escalates into a Race Against the Clock. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Discussed by the Blacksmith. he pointed out he is suffering due to straying from the path, and eventually he loses his love, Lady Silk, and his arms. The villains die in a karmic way. Brass Body brags about "drilling" Lady Silk, and gets drilled in return. Silver Lion wanted gold, and he gets it—all two tons right on his head. | |

Shady Lady of the Night: In the last act of the film, Madam Blossom is hired by the Lion Clan to conceal the Emperor's stolen gold beneath the Pink Blossom Brothel in exchange for a percentage. She double-crosses them: the ladies of the Pink Blossom brothel turn out to moonlight as an assassin-trained Amazon Brigade, kill several members of the Lion Clan in bed and then become one of the participants in the Mêlée à Trois that ensues as the obligatory Quentin Tarantino bloodbath ending. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Man with the Iron Fists / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: So very many. An obvious one being the final fight between Zhen Yi and Silver Lion in a Hall of Mirrors a la Enter the Dragon. In this version, however, it's actually shown how it all works. Naturally, there are more than a few Wu-Tang Clan references. There's a brief musical cameo of Sally Yeh's theme for John Woo's The Killer (1989). The character Poison Dagger is almost a Expy for Number 3/Brother Scorpion in their roles as The Ghost and Corrupt Bureaucrat from Five Deadly Venoms minus not having his alter ego get lines before the reveal. Possible ones may have been that the Hero loses one or both arms, gets metal replacement, kicks butt. Gordon Liu as the Abbot is, according to RZA, is San Te from the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. | |

Human Jungle Gym | |
The Man with the Iron Fists / int_e0e4e236 | comment |
Human Jungle Gym: This is how Batista's character Brass Body is introduced. The local children all start climbing onto him as he makes his entrance, eventually resulting in him being covered in kids as the villagers notice him. All he does is twitch his muscles and the children go (safely) flying off of him, giggling as they do. The friendly scene belies the fact that Brass Body is a psycho-killer for hire who murdered his entire clan in cold blood. | |

Chop Sockey: As part of the loving homage to 70's kung fu movies, many scenes are intentionally Chop Sockey. The opening fight scene in particular stands out for this reason. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
The Man with the Iron Fists / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Subverted. Brass Body has a body that turns into metal and massive brute strength that allows him to tank any opponent without effort. However, once the Blacksmith proves he's able to hurt him despite his defense, Brass Body proves he's quite capable of fighting with skill instead of just strength. | |
