Maybe :D
Tonight at 0.00 I'm seeing it at the cinema. If it's anything like I've hoped it should be then it's gonna be pretty good. For those who don't know it's a Thai action movie with Muay Thai fights. I think I read somewhere that it's one of the most watched movies in Thailand. So it's hugely popular in Asia. Can hardly wait, 6 hours left..

I'll check in tomorrow to give you the low down. Anyone seen it?

Looks good - classic kung fu movie plot, though. Sacred relic stolen, lone hero who secretly studies an ancient style resolves to get it back by engaging in a series of fights. At one point, lone hero is attacked and pursued by many attackers in a public alley, giving him ample opportunity to display his acrobatic ability.

My friend sent me a DVD from Thailand, and its like a standard MA flick, but with traditional Muay Thai.
The action makes it worth watching.

the story sucked ass :D But that's ok coz the fight scenes are really good. Infact, it feels so good to watch fight scenes without wires and zooming close ups.. it feels like an old Jackie Chan movie n I recomend any martial artist to go see it.

Something funny was to hear other peoples reaction to the fight scenes.
"he like, used his whole body. when he didn't kick he elbowed and like.. flew with his knees. sweeeeet"

...from what I've heard, it's only on Thai DVD w/out subtitles and VCD. Rumor has it that a HK version DVD is on the way in the next few months, and HK requires subtitles. So I've got my DVD buyer on the look out. No promises, but I'd really like to be able to offer this at www.MartialArtsMart.com. :)
