See this one instead of the hacked up Taratino ruined dubbed version called “the Protector”.

Actually we thought the English title should’ve been “Where’s my elephants?” – since that was one of his only lines.

While the plot line is weak (and yes, I do expect good martial arts films to ALSO have plot) – the chance to see an excellent fighter do amazing things makes it worth it. While I love Chinese martial arts film, it’s nice to see new things. It was nice to see some elements of Thai culture and to see a new style of fighting. I especially liked the scenes where you got to see Tony Jaa using his Muay Thai style against the more traditional Wushu(? I think) style and against an opponent using Capoeira and then just try to pound some huge hulk of a guy.

Some of it was gratuitous sure, like the endless scene of him just breaking people’s arms continuously. (Seriously the endless cracking noise grossed me out after a while).
