Over the last few months I have herd a lot of opinions, both good, and bad on why
Wu-Tang Clan
co-founder the
RZA
was chosen to play
Blind Master
in the upcoming
GIJOE Retaliation Movie.
I'm not a huge fan of
The Wu-Tang
but I instantly knew this was going to be a good fit for the role. You see,
RZA
is a huge fan of the martial arts movies that influenced his development of the
Wu-Tang Clan
and much of their underlying philosophy. Anyone familiar with the hip-hop super-group the
Wu-Tang Clan
knows that
“The 36th Chamber of Shaolin”
is essential viewing for any martial arts movie fanboy.
At the
Toy Fair 2012
Hasbro GIJOE Retaliation
presentation,
John Warden
let us know he had a conversation with
RZA
to discuss his action figure for the
GIJOE Movie
line-up. John seemed impressed by his knowledge of martial arts weapons, as he requested very specific iconic weapons that have been featured in old school martial arts films from years past. One such weapon request was the tradition hat worn in Asian cultures around the world, the "Conical", but more specifically the
Golden Conical!
Now to most of you
GIJOE
fans out there on the
Tank
, this may mean nothing to you, but to the few martial arts fans, including myself who are out there on the boards, I instantly understood exactly what
RZA
was looking for.....and now for your viewing pleasure I give you the
Chinese Super Ninjas
,
Gold Element Fight!
I know this news story may seem a little bit of over kill just for one weapon, but I personally think this was one of the best action figures we have seen for the
GIJOE Movie
and I give the
RZA
much respect for his knowledge of martial arts films, and I know he is going to nail the role of
Blind Master
If you liked the
Chinese Super Ninjas
Gold Element Fight
the click the discuss button to check out the Red Ninja Fire Element Fight!
