WTF!!!! Are they taking hits for real?

Ong bak with Tony jaa is pretty good, it looked like he was going to be a pretty big star back then, he never did make it that big in the west though...

His film where the village elephants are stolen is pretty fun too..... Thai problems I guess :S

He did a great job in Triple X, even though Yen had the bigger part. I saw an interview where he was pretty excited about his first cross over film. But yeah since then he hasn't got that lead that Yen or Jet Li got.

Not Karate but a movie called Chocolate starring JeeJa Yanin. It has some very good fight scenes.

I thought JeeJa Yanin was going to blow up after that movie, but outside of the fight scenes in Raging Phoenix her talents haven't really been utilized to their full potential. Much like Tony Jaa.

I will give it another view. I saw just a few scenes and thought it was some good action.
Good pick, thx!
