dude was running on top of a pack of elephants. BDx13 - 6-17-2008 at 03:23 PM
this is the most exciting movie news i've heard in a while.clevohardcore - 6-17-2008 at 03:45 PM
WTF? That was bad ass. Never heard of this dude at all and I got to watch that trailer again. Had so much shit in it.Jason the Magnificent - 6-17-2008 at 04:01 PM
His last movie The protector is probably the best martial arts movie since Bruce died. He is absolutely phenomenal.
He had a previous flick before that which is essentially a Bloodsport rip-off, but dude makes it soooo worth the watch. It's called Ong Bak.
This made me think OB2 would be sequel but from that trailer it seems to be a whole different concept.
Rent The Protector like yesterday, 90% of the movies running length is fight scenes and it doesn't get boring for a second. One of these scenes is a
20 minute long tracking shot through a multi leveled mall with no editing breaks, fucking amazing.
Plus then you can say you saw dudes get fucked up by a crazy little man with elephant bones strapped to his arms.Discipline - 6-17-2008 at 04:28 PM
Dude is amazing. I can't wait for this.BDx13 - 6-17-2008 at 04:29 PM
me and donnie go all the way back to drunken tai che, straight outta the early 80s. i got that shit on VHS!
as much as i like him in once upon a time in china, (definitely) iron monkey, and hero, i always think of him as kind of a pretty boy, and have a hard
time with the idea of him as a serious ass-kicking leading man.
that said, flash point has been added to the netflix queue!DaveMoral - 6-17-2008 at 11:09 PM
Flash Point is tight. I bought it a week ago. Love it. Check out Killzone too. Him, Sammo Hung.
Drunken Tai Chi is hilarious.clevohardcore - 6-17-2008 at 11:10 PM
excellent.
first time i've seen an elephant as an active participant in a martial arts fight scene.Jason the Magnificent - 9-29-2009 at 02:05 PM
heads up...apparantly this is on On Demand for 9.99 now...not sure what areas.Jason the Magnificent - 10-6-2009 at 08:25 AM
I just went to an AICN screening of this last night. AMAZING.
The plot seemed really ambitious at first, almost had a Kurosawa type of moodiness too it, but gradually collapsed catastrophically as the film
progressed.
But, this is a Tony Jaa movie right....what about the fight scenes? Masterful. I hope this guy sticks around and doesn't do something stupid because
he is easily in class with the greats this guy has the grace and skill of Lee and the daring of Chan.
I won't go into spoilers, just know there's more epic fights involving weapons than just about anything I've ever seen and Jaa transitions amazingly
between mutliple fighting styles. and yes...he fights on a fucking elephants back.clevohardcore - 4-30-2012 at 12:18 AM
Part 3 is strange so far. 1 and 2 ruled though. That elephant scene was kick ass. Dude also whooped an alligator. Bad ass. DaveMoral - 4-30-2012 at 12:19 PM
Ong Bak 3 is fully concerned with enlightenment rather than ass kicking. Jaa became a monk twmporarily during the filming of 3.clevohardcore - 4-30-2012 at 04:04 PM
Dude rebroke his own bones. Then repaired himself like the 6 million dollar man.
