What do u think

good fight scenes but parts of it looked so fake

Hmm.Good point.

Especially the part when he did that split thingie under the car

no i meant actual fight scenes you could tell in some parts that they didnt even make contact... but the rest looked fine

For action and stunts it is an excellent film, I saw it late 2003.

I am looking forwards to the next Tony Ja film. Looks excellent.

That movie just came out!!!!!
England must get imports faster

It came out in Asia in 2003. I have relatives in Asia, so that helps.

o

Are you looking forwards to the new film?

thought that as far as action and stunts go it was excellent. storywise it was fairly generic. not the type of film you need a story to be too deep anyway. just serves to line up some action.

that tony jaa guys amazing. anyone seen that wee show he did at a basketball game? similar stuff to in the film. loads of flips and jumps. really wouldn't think the stuff he does is possible without wires or fx.

Maybee.

Long-ass time

when is it coming to dvd in the U.S

I dunno,you tell me.

Good.

It was good, it seemed to have a different feel to it than other MA films. Good fight scenes made the movie since the story was a big generic. Im also a big Tai kickboxing fan so I loved it.

Good "Muay thai" movie, and Tony Jaa is very impressive(fighting style and stunts).
I liked the "survival mode" in the pub, versus the bad, the funny boy and the crazy guy...

I hope Tony Jaa will be even better in his new movie :

Tom-yum-Goong

Nah! let me give you a hint. The black album.

Please keep it to the topic.

The film makers used a little cgi apparently, but not a lot.

Eh, Tom Yum Goong is Ong Bak 2, for all intent and purpose. Thanks for coming out.

Not officially an Ong Bak 2 since Tony Jaa is playing a different person to the character in Ong Bak... It's just called Tom Yum Goong: Ong Bak 2 on one title version... but yes more or less an Ong Bak 2 lol.

Sword is Tony Jaas next movie, can't wait to find out more about it.

Sounds interesting

Was the subtitles made for the mentally insane and/or deaf people? Am I the only one that has to endure stupid subtitles like (techno music stops) or (grunting) or (techno music continues)? Do I have some retard feature turned on or something?

Love the movie, I'll definetly be watching any new Tony Jaa movies.

The subtitles were incredibly poorly done. There were some that read "Speaking Thai", which was pretty ****ing obvious, given that's the origin of the film. Really bad soundtrack, which didn't compliment the movie at all, but neither did the bad acting and cliche Kung Fu movie cinematography and cast of villains and heroes.

Tony Jaa's athleticism was the only highlight of an otherwise incredibly disappointing, and totally overhyped movie that stretched a paper thin plot even thinner than imaginable.

Rate it from 1 through 10

4/10 from me.

3/10 not my kind of flick.

5/10 for the action but get rid of the rubbish editing, apparently there is less action in the new Jaa movie according to reviews... I read more action months ago, tut tut.

I don't think anybody ever said that the acting or the plot or the overall film was great at all. The sole reason a lot of people liked this film was because of Tony Jaa and the potential he showed in it.

Woah, didn't know there was a foreign movies forum shock

As a martial arts movie, it was excellent, great fights, great choreography, great stunts. 8/10 for action, surely.

The action in this movie was IMO great. seeing as though it was a full contact movie it was great. (by full contact i mean all hits were real although some protection was used for the hits to the head and some of the body hits)

this movie was never going to be about plot, it is all about the action.

for me a rating of about 7/10

This movie was freaking great.

Obviously not a movie about plot, the main character was such an inexperienced actor that he had almost no lines but...

9/10!!!

I learned there's nothing you can't do with the Muy Thai!!!

Good movie but some down faults to it I think that is how you say it action takes to long and this was not the only movie with realy contact.

Normally I'm not a huge Kung Fu movie fan but the fight scenes in this were just insane and some of the humor was killing me.

Yeah, some of the parts looked fake, but the obvious stuff was supposed to look fake, like the fat guy jumping over the knives.

Tony Jaa kicks ass.

Checked it out last weekend! Sure, the storyline is thinner than the bottom of my 5 year old socks, alike the acting. But I have to say Goddamnn!!! That is some serious funky ass-kicking mr. Jaa performs there! There are so much superb fights in this movie to make up for it's flaws and then more. I loved it!

you dont watch these kinda films for story line. well i dont anyway.

Correct you are! Most attempts to bring in a storyline in movies like this are eventually just boring and redundant pauses between that ass-whooping we go and watch the movie for.
Save the blablabla for soap-opera's and get on with kicking hiny!

The second Tony Jaa film is out on dvd now, but it's only got chinese subtitles...

I really liked it but it's not in my top 10 favs...8/10

I love martial arts films and Tony Jaa is great, but the film is poor ... ends up being just Ok IMO 5/10

since Im of thai descendent i love this movie :P and Tom Yum Goong, SOOO good, hate the voiceovers though.

the acting and story stuff, ill say its not THAT great, its a movie where the action is just THAT damn good, that you wont care about the acting at all in my opinion 8.5/10

It's okay, the humor was good in it but the fight scenes were all more or less the the same except maybe for the final one which was a brutal fight to watch. Some things dragged on in the film too long for me and I got to admit, I expected more considering the good reviews it got.

Its not to bad i did lose intrest part way through tho

It's absolutely terrible, one of the worst martial arts film I've ever seen.
