Myth

I think QT was responsible for it coming to the states though... wasn't he? I never was clear on that..

though I love Iron Monkey,I just got the sequel and haven't got a chance to watch it yet.

iron monkey is like hero. QT just inroduced it to the westerners. donnie yuen is one of the most prolific matials arts action choreographer in th business. he's up there with the ranks of yuen wo ping.

When did the sequel come out? Is it just Iron monkey 2 or is it called somthing else?

Iron Monkey... a great movie.... sleave hammer punch, or something like that!

I believe that QT convinced Miramax about bringin the film from Hong Kong to the States. I'm not sure how it happen, but QT help promote the film here in America. I think he is consider producer (as in advertising the film) of the film.

badkittykitty
no,it called iron money 2 and donnie yen is the star http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6305885133/103-6695959-9694215?v=glance

I can't believe i have it hear and haven't watched it yet..I have been really pressed for time lately embarrasment

badkittykitty
I thought i heard something like that yes

Awesome! No one I have ever talked to has even HEARD of Iron Monkey.

QT was just responsible for bringing it to the states. He was on Jimmy Kimmel Live not too long ago, right before Hero came out here, discussing Kung Fu movies. He said that he watches a lot of martial arts films, and the ones that he thinks will do well here, he discuess with Miramax. Then he slaps his name on the top so that all the QT fans will be sure to see em.

I think its awesome. Iron Monkey and Hero were both good movies. Although I saw both movies before they made it here, I was glad that they did. Exposes more people to the films.

Will have to see the sequel if Donnie Yen is in it!!! love him. Loved the first one, got it on 2 disc dvd.

did you know tha kid that played Wong Fei Hung was actually a girl?
i think movies like this would have been out in the asian communities long ago... like many other Asian movies ive seen like years earlier. They are just now making its way to the rest of the cinemas or available the other members of the public

LOL this movie has zero to do with QT ... they just stick his name on foriegn cinema so people will buy it ...

Its a fantastic kung fu movie though, well worth watching / buying

starwing
I saw it years ago, and got a few friends hooked on it as well. One of the coolest Martial Arts films I seen. Very entertaining. smile

Hung Xi Guan's no-shadow kick was better. stick out tongue
It is basically Hotaru's grasshopper kick from MK Deception.

BakaXero
this is where they got Kung fu Hustles Buddha palm idea from...
idont know why they changed the name of Buddha palm to what ever they call it now...

Okay Iron Monkey 2 was a piece of crap.

Fanboy
F--- you DarkC how dare you insult my chinese culture by saying they got it from Mortal Kombat. Wong Kay Ying would be crying in his grave.

BakaXero
wasnt iron monkey made first? confused
i remember seeing it ages ago

Fanboy
I saw Iron Moneky 2 it looked like it was made before Iron Monkey.

BakaXero
i meant before MK stick out tongue

Fanboy
Who was the guy who thought Quentin Terentino Directed Iron Monkey? It was none other then the guy who helped launch Jackie Chans career Yuen Wo Ping.

Fanboy
Anyone else gonna post I mean are they shocked that I might know more about martial arts movies then anyone else? I know Yuen Wo Ping directed the Iron Monkey movie. Not Quentin Tarantino.

OMG most people have no clue, if you saw iron monkey for the first time in american then you got robbed. get the original tai seng version, QT cut out the best parts. especially at the final fight scene. i wanted to see it on a big screen and when it got to the end, and they didnt show the best part, i was absolutly disgusted.
