As befits a Tarantino-endorsed production, the anachronisms, one-liners and clashing acting styles are ostensibly part of the fun, but both the martial arts and the slightly dull narrative patchwork are too choppily edited to gain much of a foothold.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Lunatic, slipshod, absurdly violent, horribly acted, and borderline incomprehensible.
There's little happening here except slavish imitation and embarrassing hackwork.
If Iron Fists is sometimes badly made, it is refreshingly badly made.
No matter the medium, RZA is a world-builder who has conceptualized the contours of the rich, bloody, dense universe he created down to the most insignificant details.
