OK so if your into the martial arts kind of films - the van dams etc
AND you like the style that say Jackie Chan & Jet Li brought in then you would have no doubt heard or seen Tony Jaa - he was the amazing star of Ong-Bak (just a brilliant film) :D

Last night my mate brought one of his latest films back from Thailand - all I can say is just WOW!! :eek:
The fight scenes are just incredible & the guy is the biggest talent I have seen - Tony Jaa is officially hard as nails!! ;)
There are hundreds & hundreds of different moves, combos and techniques he uses and the choregoraphy used is superb!
Also that absolute beast of a guy Nathan Jones appears and fights (the huge guy at the start of Troy who gets killed with one stab!lame!)

Anyway the film is called (translated) 'Tom Yum Goong' and although we watched even without subtiltes and it spoke mainly Thai (there is a lot of english speaking in it) we could easily follow the story line - so please order it if you like fight films!

Wow Tony Jaa rocks!!!

Want the bad news - if you want to see it at the cinema its not out til July :(
But its still def worth getting the thai dvd!!!!¬ :D
 
Also just to excite you lot even more!!

Ong-Bak 2 starts shooting in June this year directed and starring Tony Jaa!! :D

(also found that the above film will be called the creative 'Warrior King' lol :p
 
you're not Tony Jaa, by any chance are you?

Err nope just a huge fan! :p

This is only his second film by the way and i thought it was great, of course jackie chan & Jet Li pioneered the more main stream films (which are dam awesome dont get me wrong - but not brutal enough!)
By the looks of things - Jaa will stay making Thai films
 
Jaa will not be bigger than Chan until he stars in crappy american cop films that parody himself and his heritage

lol good call - errm Tuxedo ???

I would have to say as a 'skill' Tony Jaa has his Muay Thai variation mastered!! and dam it shows!
Jackie Chan ok is also amazing but i never really thought he showed this off as much in his films, but more for his choregoraphy and getting out of situations.
When watching his films it actually looks as if the extras take quite a few tough hits and you can see the rage in his fighting!
 
agreed the earlier films are a hell of a lot better!!
Seen only a few of the Chans earlier ones but Im guessing the most of Jet Li's :D

Ghostface - you can buy the dvd online in quite a few places just do a google search BIG TIP = get the Korean version as this is the only one with English subtitles at the moment ;)
 
tony jaa doesnt have his own fighting style hes just a bloody good gymanst.whos learnt muay thai

I wouldnt agreen on that as i see Ong Bak more 'real' fighting -
And besides I was all talking about his latest film ;) the agresssion shown in it is awesome!!

He trained in Muay Thai from the age of 7 or so after watching Jackie Chan movies so his dad taught him. As he wanted to bring his Thai background to the films

Think they are all bloody amazing!! :D
