Ion Cinema has put together a list of their “Top 100 Films of 2012 to See.” The RZA/Eli Roth film, The Man With the Iron Fists made the list! Take a look at what they had to say:

#82. The Man with the Iron Fists
Director: RZA
Writer(s): RZA and Eli Roth
Producers: Marc Abraham, Eric Newman, Eli Roth
Distributor: Universal Pictures

Movie Premise: This tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero in nineteenth-century China who must unite to destroy the clan traitor who would destroy them all. Since his arrival in China’s Jungle Village, the town’s blacksmith (RZA) has been forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools of destruction. When the clans’ brewing war boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon. As he fights alongside iconic heroes and against soulless villains, one man must harness this power to become savior of his adopted people…(more)

Cast: RZA, Russell Crowe, Dave Batista, Rick Yune, Lucy Liu and Pam Grier

List Worthy Reasons: Shot in China, working with the kind of tech folk (Corey Yuen) you would want for a swords and kung fu inspired project, the Wu-Tang Clan member/Hip Hop maestro has workshopped the project for more than half a decade, formed a working alliance with Russell Crowe and Eli Roth and while we expect a kick-ass soundtrack, this should be this year’s wild card project. Also, it is presented by Quentin Tarantino … enough said.

Release Date: There is mention of an October release, but Universal have yet to confirm the date.
