You seeing it at Alamo Drafthouse, TWS?
i really like your quote from the hagakure ‘cho’. it makes sense on a level besides the most obvious. i finally understood what its trying to say.

well i get back to Austin this friday,i will most likely go there to see it. haha they dont serve beer and decent food in the theatres here,and this is canada for christs sake 
to be more specific i was wondering if this is a film that was already made 5 years ago and is JUST now getting play time on USA theatre screens.
haha just looked at the links provided,,looks like i was right. you know the funny thing is that most of the people will be like WOW what a great NEW and recently made film :rolleyes:
PEACE,,TWS
T shirt design
While we’re on the topic, Gene & I have been batting around some possible ideas for new t-shirts…
here’s one I came up with. It’s rough but I thought I would post it here for opinions… do any of y’all this this should be a T-shirt?
Hee, sifu funny. I vote yes.
Just saw it last Thursday. Definitely worth seeing.
There’s some REALLY bad acting, and the first couple of fights aren’t that well choreographed, but the final fight makes up for it very much. The chase scene easily rivals that of Jackie Chan’s early 70s/80s movies.
Gets a thumbs up from me.
yeah, but what about the t-shirt?

I was impressed with most of the fight choreography (except for the horrid one where the “big bad guy” threw cups, etc, at Ting).
I thought the acting was marginal and the chase scenes pointless. Sure, he can run and jump and flip and it is very impressive… but if the guys chasing him can keep up just by running normally, what’s the point?
Does anyone know who that big guy with the really bad perm is?
For some reason, he seems familiar to me.
better of the thai movies i have scene, but i think it sucked
I take no responsibility…
…for DS’s thai pork shirt. Sometimes we don’t give him enough work and idle hands are the devil’s workshop… :rolleyes:
he’s just jealous 'cause he didn’t think of it…
he’s too busy digging up the corpse of the Kungu TV show for t-shirt ideas…
The stunts were pretty good for the most part. The stunts (and fighting) were the main reason to watch this movie; you certainly wouldn’t watch it for the amazing cinematography. 
Blurry and overly-red describes many of the scenes in the movie and the taxi chase is one of the most innane and pointless chase scenes I have ever seen. The plot was full of holes and the guy with the electric voice box was so annoying that they gave up on having him use it for the last few scenes. It was also funny watching the audience reacting to some of the less-impressive stunts in the movie while failing to notice some of the cleanest fight work in the film at all. I hope that the main actor (Jaa?) gets some roles in better films because he is good.
Oh, sorry. Wrong thread. I musta misread. I thought this was a thread about mon baks. I was a mon bak when I worked construction.
I just saw it last night. It was indeed pretty cool. refreshing to see a movie like this I’m so sick of people flying all over the place and watching computer graphics dominate. not to say that stuff doesn’t have it’s place, and can’t be appreciated. I hope this movie ong bak sets a new trend in a revival of the more realistic approach to fighting movies and less of the fantastical.
Yeah and if they can get the action director from this movie together with a cinematographer from hollywood (or China) you might just make a good fight movie.
If we’re going that far might as well throw in an excellent screenwriter for a better script and dialogue.
