The Man With The Iron Fists

Quentin Tarantino presents The Man With the Iron Fists, an action-adventure inspired by kung-fu classics as interpreted by his longtime collaborators RZA and Eli Roth.

Making his debut as a big-screen director and leading man, RZA, alongside a stellar international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu, tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero in nineteenth-century China who must unite to destroy the clan traitor who would destroy them all.

Since his arrival in China’s Jungle Village, the town’s blacksmith (RZA) has been forced by radical tribal factions to create elaborate tools of destruction.

When the clans’ brewing war boils over, the stranger channels an ancient energy to transform himself into a human weapon.

As he fights alongside iconic heroes and against soulless villains, one man must harness this power to become savior of his adopted people.

Blending astonishing martial-arts sequences from some of the masters of this world with the signature vision he brings as the leader of the Wu-Tang Clan and as one of hip-hop’s most dominant figures of the past two decades, RZA embarks upon his most ambitious, stylized and thrilling project to date.

As an added bonus, at 1:00 pm in the garden, author Randy Fertel will read excerpts from his book The Gorilla Man and the Empress of Steak: A New Orleans Family Memoir. Anyone who loves New Orleans music, food and culture will love this book.

On The Gorilla Man and the Empress of Steak: A New Orleans Family Memoir: In 1965, a single mother mortgaged her house for $22,000 to buy a small steak house in New Orleans. That woman, Randy’s mother, grew it into one of the city’s greatest restaurants - Ruth’s Chris Steak House. What started as 17 tables is now the world’s largest fine-dining group, with over 135 locations worldwide.

The Gorilla Man and The Empress of Steak is a memoir of colorful characters - including Louis Armstrong. The story offers a close-up of life in the Old Jewish Quarter on Rampart Street - and how it intersected with the denizens of "Back ‘o’ Town," just a few blocks away, who brought jazz from New Orleans to the world. It is a story of family, food and soul.
