As promised, RZA and animator Eric Calderon teamed up on an animated short designed to accompany his Man With The Iron Fists, which debuted on Machinima this week. Below, watch "The Encounter," a prequel to the feature film which acts as sort of a sort living storyboard explaining how RZA's character--a former slave with the blacksmithing skills to pay the bills--makes his way to feudal China sometime in the 18th century (I got to admit, I did wonder). Watch below and see more artwork via some screen grabs after the jump. And in the spirit of Wu-Tang Clan x The Roots...bong bong, pass the popcorn!
