You heard it here first- Iron Fist, the movie

[brucelee2]

That's right, folks, Iron Fist the movie, coming soon to a theater near you, starring Ray Parks (Darth Maul, Toad from the X Men). Y'all better batten down the hatches, cos after this mainstream movie confronts everyone out there with the omnipotence of chi, your previously small internal arts classes are gonna get large, and tkd schools by the bucketsful will go bankrupt.

It sounds good where did you find out?

[kfstudent]

is this about the marvel comic book character "Iron fist" from the seventies and eighties?

[brucelee2]

I found out about it today on Altavista Enterntainment News. Just go to the altavista page and then go to entertainment news. Yes, it is THAT Ironfist from the comicbook of the 70s and 80s. Its kind of funny because a couple of months ago I posted a topic here asking what style Iron Fist's powers were based on and now they're making a movie- maybe I'll find out!

peace+love-

Thanks for the information

I doubt internal martial arts (other than tai chi of course) will ever be that big. For those who want to "kick ass" they'll always be looking to BJJ and other hard forms. I don't think most people want to put in the work inherent to internal arts. I wouldn't worry about it- The movie sounds interesting though.

Iron Fist better pray to "the god of green tightsand yellow shoes" that he never steps a foot
in Gotham. :mad:

Iron Fist is cool, and Ray Park is the right guy.

I'd love to see "Shang Chi, Master of Kung Fu", though I can't think of the right guy.

There isn't a film star out there with the requisite charisma to play the enlightened Shang, though Jet Li obviously has the physical athleticism to play the part even without wires.
