RZA Stars in ‘The Man with the Iron Fists 2’ Hitting Blu-ray/DVD April 14

I guess I should not be too surprised that we are getting a sequel to a kung-fu movie that practically lends itself to having further installments.  I mean, if we got a Smokin Aces 2 then why not, right?  So here we are with another dip into the world of martial arts, filtered through the mind of star/co-writer/composer/executive producer RZA.  He is back as the titular man with the iron fists in an all new adventure that is coming to Blu-ray on April 14th.  The Man with the Iron Fists 2 is another kung-fu adventure film that will be available in an unrated Blu-ray/DVD combo pack.  Continue on to learn more about this film and to check out the trailer.

A mysterious stranger leads a rebellion to liberate a Chinese village from its oppressive overlord in The Man with the Iron Fists 2, available on Blu-ray^™, DVD and Digital HD as well as On Demand on April 14, 2015, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Global hip-hop superstar, actor and filmmaker RZA reprises his role as the enigmatic blacksmith Thaddeus in this explosive sequel to the 2012 action-adventure The Man with the Iron Fists. Inspired by classic kung-fu films, The Man with the Iron Fists 2 Blu-ray^™ and DVD are packed with exciting bonus material including a behind-the-scenes featurette, deleted scenes and commentary by director Roel Reiné and executive producer and star RZA.

RZA (The Man with the Iron Fists, co-founder of the Wu-Tang Clan), who co-wrote the film with screenwriter John Jarrell (Romeo Must Die), stars alongside a stellar international cast including Dustin Nguyen (22 Jump Street), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (47 Ronin), Eugenia Yuan (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend), Pim Bubear (Ninja: Shadow of a Tear), Carl Ng (New Police Story), Simon Yin (Ip Man), Ocean Hou (Man of Tai Chi), Grace Huang (The Man with the Iron Fists) and Andrew Lin (The Man with the Iron Fists). The film is directed by Roel Reiné (The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption, Death Race 2).

When Thaddeus (RZA) is found badly wounded near a 19^th-century Chinese town, miner Li Kung (Dustin Nguyen) and his wife Ah Ni (Eugenia Yuan) offer him refuge. As he heals, he becomes entrenched in a conflict that pits the townsfolk against the evil Master Ho (Carl Ng), his nefarious Beetle Clan and the terrifying Lord Pi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa). With Thaddeus at his side, the mild-mannered Kung transforms into a deadly warrior in this martial arts epic.
