SA Chris:
Can't find the old thread, so time to resurrect this? The film I saw on the way back from NZ last september and recommended on the old ..films.. thread is now on general release here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382806/

Although not the type of film I would usually go for, I thought it was excellent.

I picked up this randomly a few weeks back and thought it was pretty good....

Nice one Chris, I was just thinking that this thread needed resurrecting.

I saw Ong-Bak a few days ago and it was fairly amazing. When I saw that Tony Jaa had been described by Total Film as “Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li all rolled into one” I thought “yeah bollocks” but it is actually pretty spot on. There are some amazing stunts and fight scenes with no annoying wire work, stunt doubles or C.G.I and his Thai Boxing style looks really good on screen instead of the normal king-fu stuff. Highly recommended to any fans of martial arts or action films.

Think Tony Jaa may have a film out at the moment called Warrior King and is also working on Ong-Bak 2 which should both be worth checking out as well.

That's one of the hardest, toughest films I've seen in ages.  Quite slowly paced to ensure the full hideousness of the situation sinks in. 

Isn't it a shame that so many ignore films with subtitles just because they require a sniff of multi-tasking when viewing?  Dubbing is the filth.  Except in Monkey: that's the only exception.
