forget starwars, watch Ong-Bak thai warrior
Discussion
Ok, dont miss star wars, but do see this movie
(though I havent seen it yet I have heard so much about it).
Saw a trailer for it at KOH and it looks spectacular.
Stars a chap named Tony Jaa, who is supposed to be the most sensational martial arts star since BLee.
The movie sells on the fact that there are no CGI and wires, and JAA does all his own stunts. (like jackie chan used to in his glory days)

This film does look great, i've heard loads about it and was ready to order the region 3 dvd but apparently there isn't any version out with english subtitles.
It's released this friday right? I fear it might prove difficult finding a cinema showing it outside of the capital though.
they are showing it in bluewater (now chavwater)
ok, saw this on Friday night.
After the first 15 minutes of the usual "villagers getting shat-on" drivel, Tony Jaa goes to Bangkok to brutally kick some arse in one of the most bone crunching martial arts movies Ive ever seen.
He uses a form of the arts called Muay Thai in which elbows and knees are particularly effective.
Warning....its all in Thai which can either sound, interesting, funny or irritating, and you have to able to read subtitles, which counts some people out.
Otherwise it was sensational, and bearing in mind there were no special effects using body wires or cgi, it made it even more awesome.
A must see.
