The Best Thing about this Thing is that the Diction Challenged Rapper Turned Director/Screen-Writer/Actor RZA, does Less Acting and Speaking in the Sequel and gave the Directing Duties to Someone Else.

Therefor the Ears Bleed Less as the Mushed Mouth Mumbles and Horrible Pronunciation of the English Languish are Not as Frequent. RZA's Non Acting is also Not as Hard to Endure because He is On Screen Less in this His second Vanity Project with the Same Name.

The Film Tries hard to be Blood Spurting Stylish and Copies many of the Action Flourishes from the Movies of its Influence. Namely Shaw Brothers Kung-Fu Films and Their Ilk. The Mythological Mixed with Hip-Hop is what is Attempted here along with Dialog Using 20-21st Century Street Slang and Idioms.

Not Much of it Works and is Embarrassing Most of the Time and is at its Most Cringe-Inducing whenever RZA Narrates or is "In Character". Worth a Watch Only for those that for some Reason Like this Guy, but even RZA Fans will Require a Thick Skin and Blind Devotion and Ears Made of Iron to Put Up with this Ego Trip.

If you liked the first film, you should like this one. This is also done in a grindhouse style combining a martial arts film with a hip-hop soundtrack. Part 2 gives you the ending of previous film, which I found to be a confusing mess anyway. You don't have to have seen the first film to enjoy this one, it gives you enough information.

The silver mine is run by Master Ho (Carl Ng) who has enslaved the village to his will with his Beetle Clan. Li (Dustin Nguyen) speaks for the miners and is also a good fighter. Thaddeus (RZA ) gets his butt beat early in the film on his quest to find redemption, Buddha, and inner peace. He and his iron fists float up to the village.

There is also a string of murders happening to young girls. They are getting their chi stolen from them. Rumor claims it is the spirit of Lord Pi who died in the first film. There is the Golden Nectar pool guarded by monks for immortality. They eased up on the plot aspect.

The film boasts plenty of fighting, head rolls, blood squirts, and an exploding body.

Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

While the first Iron Man ... sorry Iron Fist movie had some good actors in it (alongside RZA),this one is even more straight to video/DVD, than that. If there is going to be a third one, I hope they'll go either back to hire some good acting talent and/or someone who's gonna polish the look (action wise and just framing and set design wise too).

Whatever you thought about the previous entry, you couldn't fault it for its looks. Russell Crowe seemed a bit nonplussed by it, but at least he was in it. And while I really like Wu Tang and RZA music wise, he really should go back to producing. Or get a great director and just a small role (like he did in Ghost Dog). There really isn't much to save this, watch at your own peril (to waste your time that is)
