this was recommended to me, so i watched it. its fucking ace.

martial arts movie with Tony Jaa. most of the fighting based on traditional muay thai. its a movie so its beefed up a bit but there is no CGI, no pulleys or special effects and its full contact. pretty impressive shit. some amazing fights. watch it.

my boyfriend saw this a few months ago and loved it too, a lot of that being down to the fact that he does muay thai.

aye, i think that helps if you know a bit about it, you can make geeky comments on technique and such, haha.

I saw most of this then missed then end but it was pretty cool. It was nice when they did replays of stuff from different angles. I like it when he hits people in the head with his elbows. That's cool.

The chase scenes, the one on foot and the one on the ridiculous taxi things, are awesome.

See how much of his body he puts into the kick. awsome. But look how open the opponent is, thats just stupid, where the fuck is he putting his arms? i was always taught that there wasnt a need above the waist, and i still agree, but if you have the ability to do so effectively then why not.

I'm going to check this out. Is it a relatively new release? Where can one get this from?

you can buy it in shops man. or come round to mine and we`ll watch it. im not giving you a shot coz you`ve still got my city of god

aye, he kicks high a lot in this. probably mostly for effect coz its a movie afterall. but when you see how quick he is and how dumb some of the oponents are you can see why he does it, plus it looks cool as fuck.

Here are the trailers for Tony Jaa's new film 'Tom-Yung-Goong' Looks to be more of the same, but I'm not complaining. Can't wait to see how he takes down that huge bastard.

And KJ, the guy in the gif is a freestyle streetfighter, that's why he has no proper defense.
