somehow, the thought of an obsessive autistic fighter somewhere our there scares the living daylights out of me
-

-
Sounds interesting to me . I really thoroughly enjoyed ong bak . Now a female fighter should be something new .
-
anyone got torrent link?
-
Nice trailer. Looks like a cross between the Jacky chan acrobatic-comedy stunts and some bruce lee 'wipe the nose with the thumb' mannuerisms and some good flashy Thai boxing..Good stuff.
Gotta love the catching objects gig. They seemed to have combined all the classical MA movie staples. Formula, but still looks entertaining. Wish my Thai was better.

-

In this part of the world, there's no dearth of male action heroes, you know, those with real martial arts background. Think Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, and closer to home, Tony Jaa. How about a female counterpart? You're likely to struggle hard to name a credible one, Michelle Yeoh notwithstanding. So Thai director Prachya Pinkaew is probably shrewd enough to identify this golden opportunity, and so introduces us to Yanin Vismistananda in her debut feature Chocolate.

Now the stuff more people watches are Mongolian wrestling / Thai kick-boxing and Muay Thai in action movies. Jacky chan stuff old fashion oredi. Notice Chan and Jet Li either now move into western movie market or chinese production action/ war movies which stress more on the story line and how the warriors ought instead of personal action stunts. Gosh they even have to join international actors to make every movie ticket worth the watch.
-
Great action ... but the plot is too simple
The actress is also quite cute
-
give michelle yeoh a run for her money.
-
the beauty and also weakest of thai fighting films are that it has a simple storyline in the sense a beauty is because it's continuous hardcore fighting and in the sense a weakest is because the story can really bore out people.
