RZA’s directorial debut, The Man With the Iron Fists, is an action-packed kung-fu film starring Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu. The movie will hit theaters in November, but a star-studded soundtrack will hit stores a bit earlier, on October 23.

The list for the soundtrack has been released, and features a collection of big-name talent. With RZA making his big move from music to directing, it seems he was able to get a lot of friends to help out with the music for his big debut. The soundtrack includes new songs from Kanye West, the Wu-Tang Clan, Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah, Pusha T and Raekwon. Also, RZA teams up with the Black Keys for the new song “The Baddest Man Alive.” He also teams up with Flatbush Zombies.

RZA, who wrote the script with Eli Roth, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the film, which is presented by Quentin Tarantino. “I’m in love with film,” he said, adding that he also wrote the score for the movie. “Film and music, they have a very similar wavelength, and so they intertwine. For me, they go hand-in-hand.”

The complete soundtrack list is below:

01 The Black Keys & RZA – “The Baddest Man Alive”

02 Ghostface Killah, M.O.P & Pharoahe Monch – “Black Out”

03 Kanye West – “White Dress”

04 The Revelations feat. Tre Williams – “I Forgot To Be Your Lover”

05 Talib Kweli & RES – “Get Your Way (Sex as a Weapon)”

06 Raekwon, Ghostface Killah & Kool G. Rap – “Rivers of Blood”

07 Method Man, Freddie Gibbs & StreetLife – “Built for This”

08 24 Carat Black – “Poverty’s Paradise”

09 Killa Sin – “The Archer”

10 RZA & Flatbush Zombies – “Just Blowin’ In The Wind”

11 Corrine Bailey Rae – “Chains”

12. Pusha T & Raekwon – “Tick Tock”

13. Frances Yip – “Green is the Mountain”

14. The Wu-Tang Clan – “Six Directions of Boxing”

15. Mabel John – “Your Good Thing Is About To End”

The Man With the Iron Fists opens in theaters on November 2, 2012.

Seems like it will sound interesting. I hope there will be some samples available to listen to soon.

Lucy Liu can only get sexier with age.

I may be persuaded to see this because she's one of the principal characters.

I love Lucy Liu as an actress too. She sold me when I saw her in the "Kill Bill" movies. She's a beast.

Yea shes cool The movie looks pretty good... and checkin for the RZA sountrack

I'm proud of RZA. Regardless of how good or bad it is, I'm proud that he was able to direct his own movie. That's major! I'm sure QT had a lot to do with it but still, Hollywood don't throw money around for mere vanity projects that don't show potential for a profit.

Well done RZA!
