RZA’s Kill Bill collaborator and mentor Quentin Tarantino has come aboard to present the film, which is heavily influenced by martial arts and exploitation cinema, and follows an ex-military convict seeking redemption in a small town.
Wu-Tang Clan founder RZA directed, wrote and produced the film, which is set for a U.S. theatrical release powered by Variance Films on May 1, 2026. It will be presented in 35mm for select engagements, including a two-week run at LA’s Vista Theatre. RZA composed the scores for Tarantino’s Kill Bill 1 and 2 and Jim Jarmusch’s 1999 film Ghost Dog: The Way Of The Samurai. He scored RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate with Tyler Bates. He made his directorial debut in 2012 with martial arts film The Man with the Iron Fists, which was produced by Tarantino.
The film follows “Unique, a veteran and ex-convict seeking a fresh start in a small town. After an altercation with a gang of locals, he starts to suspect they may have something to do with the disappearance of young men in the area – including his cousin. As he digs for the truth, he finds himself the target of not only the gang, but the local sheriff’s office, whose involvement in the disappearances may be even more sinister. Instead of waiting for his turn to be picked off, Unique and those closest to him decide to fight back.”
