The Black Keys vs. RZA in "The Baddest Man Alive"

Let this be a lesson to Chinese restauranteurs everywhere. Bring more than one fortune cookie with the check when The Black Keys and RZA are your diners. MTV reports:

There's seemingly no schlocky, kung-fu flick staple that doesn't go unexplored in the "Baddest" clip — at one point, a dude's arm is accidentally ripped off for no apparent reason — which seems very much in line with the RZA's directorial debut, "The Man With The Iron Fists," a gore-filled tribute to the martial-arts films he watched as a kid.

And just who emerges as the baddest man alive at the clip's end? Well, you'll just have to watch to find out ... though, we love the fact that the entire thing culminates with one very excellent (and thoroughly satisfying) "Damn straight!" Quite simply, in every single way, this video totally rules.

"The Man with the Iron Fists" hits theaters on November 2. The film's soundtrack — which features songs from Kanye West, the Keys, My Chemical Romance and Wiz Khalifa — is in stores [now].
