i personally think that Tony Jaa is going to be another huge star in the US and its going to make the existing "martial arts stars" look bad. what he does just doesn't compare to any one else thats done it. its not only intense with amazing choreography but they are also fighting and knocking the shit out of each other which ads to the realism. Fearless was more of the same chinese shit... the usual throw punch/pause, wait for him to block... throw punch/pause, wait him to block type stuff. But it was on ok movie. Pretty emotional ride actually.
but damn! Tony Jaa and his boys do some real damage to each other. Ong Bak reminded me of a Jackie Chan flick with the choreography, but it was without humor and the fighting looked very real. The Protector started weak (the drug deal and all the kids on roller blades/bikes etc was pathetic) but just got better and better and better until the end and you are just left sitting in your seat thinking "holy shit... that was amazing"
and yeah... when that guy slams him like he did that was one of those moments that really makes it all look so real and you can really get into it.
