    Yes, Hemos, they typically do.

    Just get the same crew who did Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to do the special effects. Or at least the intro.

    I can see Chen Kenichi flying through mid air attacking Morimoto holding his blowtorch...

    Well, I don't know about that. The dude from San Francisco won (and is featured prominently in the opening sequence,) while all the Japanese guys that the Ohta faction kept sending after Morimota kept getting their collective asses kicked. Granted, the Iron Chefs win an awful lot, but they do have "home kitchen" advantage, and given the "save face" mentality of the Japanese culture, I would suspect that in most cases, judges throw ties to the Iron Chef.

    Remember the episode where Kaga boycotted because the ICs had lost three in a row?

    I'm having seriously horrible flashbacks to the waste of celluloid that was the US Godzilla.
    I can already see visions of bastardized american versions of the IC's:

    Iron Chef Hamburger

    Iron Chef BBQ

    Iron Chef Vegitarian
    And the mysterious 4th Iron Chef...

    Iron Chef Leftovers

    So who would you cast to play the Iron Chefs, if you couldn't get the real thing?

  9. Iron chef almost always wins. by tie_guy_matt · · Score: 4

    I am not sure if he always wins because he is a better chef or not. I think the judges shouldn't be allowed to know whose food they are eating. Also it seems that while the judges are all Japanese sometimes the Iron chef's opponent isn't. Could it be that this gives the Iron chef an advantage? If nothing else he knows how to cook for the pallete of people from Japan. Anyway he wins so often that sometimes I wonder if it is fixed. The time limit is interesting though. You have to cook good food fast!

  10. God of Cookery by rdejuana · · Score: 5

    There is already a movie king of about Iron Chef. Its called God Of Cookery. Its a hong kong film, so its in Cantonese. It kind of the same premise as the Iron Chef movie, but in this onehe start off as the iron chef (or as they call him, god of cookery) and is dethroned and has to work his way up. If you like Iron Chef, I recommend you check it out. (If you happen to live in austin, I think vulcan video has it)
