Talk:The Man with the Iron Fists

Tarantino?
Lots of promotional material for this movie, including some links from this page, say Tarantino is producing. But the infobox says nothing. Is there an official source for these things? User:Glenn Willen (Talk) 01:18, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * He is "presenting" and executive producing to lend his name to the film, that is the extent of his involvement. As for the infobox, policy is to not include executive producers. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:24, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I wonder what "presenting" means, is there a more official title for that? The trailer also mentions he "presents" the movie. --82.170.113.123 (talk) 18:22, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's just a way of getting more attention to something that it otherwise wouldn't have. So something might be "Steven Spielberg presents..." when he didn't really have anything to do with it, but he is lending his name to help it do a little bit better. RZA is friends with Tarantino so Tarantino lends his name to the film, and given the style evident in the trailer a lot of people believe it is actually a Tarantino film. And so more people will go see it purely based on that. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 19:33, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Premise
"In nineteenth century China, The Blacksmith (RZA) is forced to create elaborate weapons for a small village is forced to join both warriors and assassins to protect their community and humiliate a traitor who threatens to destroy them all." The sentence sounds weird. The phrase "...is forced to..." is in there twice and doesn't make any sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.123.50 (talk) 20:57, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I tried to change it up a bit, there isnt much premise to work with at the moment. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 22:41, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Frank Dukes
Frank Dukes is the guy who has produced some of the music for the film soundtrack, and I believe he deserves an article, given that he's had extensive work in the field of music (see Google search for "Frank Dukes" in the English Wikipedia).

Budget and Box Office
You appear to be in the process of trying to alter the figures involved in the film because you want it to be a success, with the comment "Makes a big difference by telling if it's a box office failure or not.)" and adding a 4th digit to the box office gross, making it 19.88 instead of 19.8 and picking a different BO source that has a slightly higher total gross than BOM. You do not trust BOM for the Box Office gross but you trust it for the budget because that works into making the gross higher and the budget lower, pretending it was a success. The given sources for the budget that I have re-added say 20, including one that actually has RZA, the director and man in charge of the budget, saying about 20 million. BOM has no special ability to override the director who has insider knowledge of his budget, I'll indulge the 4th figure on the gross, even if it is a blatant attempt to make its box office seem marginally higher, media sources never report to them to the 4th digit.

Critical Reception
The tomatometer and average rating on rottentomatoes are not the same thing, as this article from Rottentomatoes' parent company states. It just happens that they happen to be basically the same number in the case of this movie; the 49% and the 5 out of 10 mean different things. CBAnaesthesia (talk) 15:28, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
 * THe sentence states the percentage, then the average rating. The changes being made are not clarifying anything and are unnecessary, the phrasing is taken from the article on Prometheus which is on its wa y to becoming a featured article, so I can assure you, you are the only person having a problem with it.
