Anyone seen this yet? It's Tony Jaa's next film after the excellent Ong Bak, with most of the actors from that returning under different roles. I had to watch it without subtitles, so i was a bit unsure of what was going on (something about a missing elephant..hmm), but then half the film is english spoken anyway for some reason.

Anyway i recommend this film if you're a fan of Tony Jaa and his awesome skills, some of the fight scenes in this film are incredible, such as the one where he takes on about 50 guys and breaks a bone or seven in each of their bodies, it's everything the Matrix wishes it was and it's done without the use of special effects or trickery.

I'll have to check this out. I drifted in and out of Ong-Bak story wise, but the action and fight choreography was excellent. Not to mention the obscene shape that guy is in.

Watched this the other day, with subtitles. Don't worry about the story, as usual its not important (it is in fact about a missing elephant). Entertaining, and sometimes unintentionally hilarious. If you want to see a lot of people getting broken arms and flying everywhere, then I'd recommend it.

Yeah, i managed to follow most of the story without the subtitles it was that simple, and yes quite funny how in love with his elephants he is

I see Tony Jaas films for the action. Not the storyline.

Its like going to a boxing fight and expecting opera.
