   One punch kung fu. Sounds good. Maybe like a shoot out, but with punches. Russell Crowe though? I really like the guy, but him doing kung fu? I always saw him as a brawler, an angry Austrailian brawler, with a knock out phone throwing special move.

   Nice interview Fred. Good read. So. Is the Rizz a nice guy to talk to or what? Been a huge Wu Tang fan since Enter. Love the film work RZA has done.

   Afterthought, is anyone else amused at the thought of Crowe and ‘Bobby’ (had NO idea that was his first name) doing yoga together on a farm?

   Nice shout out hidden in the interview, “The writer VERN”. You’ve gone too mainstream now, I think I might have to read more Beak’s reviews now, just to go against the crowd.

   After reading the WU manual way back and his philosophies including this interview I truly believe he deserves a shot at making the movie he wants and I hope it goes well. He’s one of the reasons why I got into hip hop and started looking for old school kung fu movies in the first place. So, whatever happens with him in film will make no difference in the impact he’s made already in my opinion.

   Also, how the hell does rza get around so fast? Doing yoga with russell crowe, singing karaoke with frodo, and then hanging out with jaa? Geez, and I just saw him bout a month ago performing with WU. The guy is busy, who knows when he’ll finish this movie or even start.

   For some great one-hit karate, you guys should check out a Japanese movie called BLACK BELT. The fights are all about how when a dude knows what he’s doing, all he’s gotta do is kick you in the head one time, and that’s the story of you.

   He was totally cool, one of those rare situations where a star was at an event without handlers, so you could just ask him directly, “Hey, how about an interview” and he was into it. Luckily, he wanted to promote his film so he brought it up even before I got a chance to. We certainly spoke the same language about action movies, though I know less about music. :)

   Had to credit Vern. His point about losing the trained martial artists has gotten me thinking and I wanted RZA’s point of view, since he’s hiring the most acclaimed method researcher in Hollywood today. Yes, the idea of RZA and Russell Crowe doing yoga is my favorite part.

   Oh man. RZA and Russel Crowe doing yoga on a farm in Australia. That mental image just made my day.
