RZA is back with a sequel to his directorial debut but this time he hands it off to another director which appears to have been a big mistake.
The Blacksmith has found his way to Tsai Fu village, a mining town under the control of a heartless man. The blacksmith bonds with these people and eventually decides to craft tools for them but he will not give them weapons. Though the tools he craft for them are for whatever purposes the villagers would need them for.
I honestly didn't like this movie, though it did have some good actors in it. A new edition to the series is Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa who surprised me with his acting abilities in the film as well as the predictable twist towards the end of the film. RZA did a good job on his part but I felt besides those two no one offered a lot. I have to say that Pim Bubear who played Innocence was quite nice to look it but that's about it.
The action scenes were not that bad but I would say they need some improvement. The ending was weak as well as it seemed so rushed and the story was so shaky. I honestly hope there is a third movie so I can see a better American martial arts movie.
1.5/5
