The people at Skypilot
came up with a rather interesting idea: you take an
old movie, get a couple of funny cats with good voices
and have 'em dub the film. They call the whole thing:
Flix Remix. Sounds good? It does. And that's exactly
what they for their first installment, that's called
"Iron Fist Pillage", mainly due to Cappadonna
lending his voice to one of the leading characters.
And the script of the film was revised, hence altered
storylines were created, character motivations were
changed, and some boom bap beats were put in for good
measure too.

The story of the film
is quickly told: the leader of one crew gets murdered
and another cat tries to take over. Thing is though,
that he's a show tunes fan, hence him as the head is
straight up inconceivable. So the circumstances are
set for enough swinging fists, hoes, blows, blades,
tattoos, blunts and nose hair, to get the party started.
Or something. Because this is not to be taken too serious.
And that's exactly what's so good about it. Because
the classic, vintage kung fu, spicy park hill style
flick is some old ass movie, that looks like kindergarten
class to what the Hong Kong cinema is treating us with
nowadays. So the movie will not impress anyone that
has seen "Once Upon A Time In China" or any other of
the millions of trampoline films, as this reviewer likes
to call 'em. But the dubbing, damn....

Because that was done
brilliant. Brilliant in the way that the makers paid
enormous close attention to the dubbing, that the words
spoken are exactly matching the lip movement. And the
voices come from the previously mentioned Cappadonna,
and with him Jamie Summers, MTV2's Steph Lova,
Son Don Moet, Hideo Seaver, Othorized
F.A.M. and others. And they put on their broadest
ghetto slang, putting in hip hop references, that in
combination with the action just sounds so ridiculously
exaggerated and misplaced, you'll be rolling on the
floor laughing. Hence the one and a half hours on this
video tape are thoroughly entertaining and shall be
the diet of every martial arts and hip hop fan.
