Trailer here: http://www.apple.com/trailers/indepe..._bak-tlr.html/

I liked it. The fight scenes were awesome. This guy is right up there with Jackie Chan as far as i'm concerned. The movie itself was okay, but a bit of a letdown. Honestly, i think a lot of the meaning was lost in translation. It just seemed very corny sometimes, and i don't think it was supposed to be translated the way it was. I mean, in a spot where it seemed more appropriate to use smartass, they would use smartypants. That kind of thing.

And the guy with the throat cancer reminded me of Cats from the "all your base" thing.

Definitley worth a watch if you enjoy kickass fight scenes.

Tony Jaa is awesome..the movie was a little bit of a letdown for me, but I predict big things for Tony Jaa...he's going to be a HUGE star

Nope, I think that's the only movie he has done. But he is filming one right now that has not been released.

I wish i could speak Thai. I just knew the translations must have been fucked up. They need somene to redo them or something. But goddamn, i can't get over how many time that motherfucker elbows people in the head. Muay Thai sure is entertaining.
