The Man With The Iron Fists 2 Out on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital HD Today!

We were able to get an advanced copy of this movie courtesy of Universal Studios.

Here's our review: First, we're not movie critics, just your plain movie watcher. Without giving away any details or spoilers. The unrated version shows a lot of violence and blood. There is also the Rated R version which show just as much violence/blood. The difference in run time is a mere 1 minute. The story was interesting enough to hold us through the entire movie. There were a few epic fight scenes scattered throughout the movie but make sure you watch the last 30 minutes of the movie. This movie is definitely for those that love Kung Fu inspired movies and RZA. If you like hip hop, you'll definitely enjoy the soundtrack to this movie.

You can pick up the Blu-ray/DVD/Digital HD which hit stores today. There are bonus features on the Blu-ray / DVD including the Making of Man With the Iron Fist 2 as well as commentary from Director Roel Reine and Executive Producer/Star RZA.
